Hello, I'm Jdcomix. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Jdcomix (talk) 17:16, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Aimeeluongo, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was OneHope, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Conflict of Interest

Hello, Thank you for informing me of the Conflict of Interest process. I work for OneHope and part of my role is to make sure information about the company is correct online. How can I properly edit this Wikipedia page for the company? Aimeeluongo (talk) 18:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Given your conflict, the primary path is for you not to make the edit yourself, but to place a request for an edit on the article's talk page. You can find the process for doing so at Wikipedia:Edit requests. Then unconflicted editors will review the request and make the edit if they deem it appropriate.

You will find getting your request accepted much more likely if you:

• include references for any factual statements to be added. This is always important, and doubly important for articles about living people. In this edit, you not only added information without any reference, you wiped out every single reference that was already in the article. Wikipedia requires information to be verifiable -- see WP:V for more information on that.
• Avoid promotional phrasing. Things like saying that an organization is committed to shaping destinies by delivering God's eternal Word to children and youth worldwide is putting things in promotional terms, as well as putting things reflecting a specific point-of-view in Wikipedia's voice (Wikipedia takes no position on whether the Bible contains "God's eternal word'.) If it would look good on a brochure, it probably isn't right for Wikipedia.
• Keep the changes short. Don't try to rewrite the article all in one blow. Ask to correct a sentence or two, perhaps as much as add a paragraph. If you ask to have the whole article replace, it'll be hard finding someone with the time and energy to review your whole request. Request one change. If it's denied, and you can adjust the request to deal with reason for denial, do so and try again. If it gets accepted, come back with the next request.
• Learn what we accept as sources and how to cite them (WP:SOURCING). We are looking for verifiable sources (things people cn check to double-check the claim -- online sources are better but not required) that are reliable (i.e., the New York Times is a reliable source for finding facts; Joe's Gossip Monthly is not) and, for anything that might seem boastful or controversial, third-party (i.e., we can use an organization's own source for the location of their headquarters, but not for the claim that they've cured hiccups in 30 billion people.)

That should get your on your way. If you have any questions, there's a link at the end of my message to my talk page -- leave it there, and I'll see it. (Leave it here, and I will likely see it, but perhaps not.) And have a fine day! -- Nat Gertler (talk) 18:36, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Take a different approach

To be blunt, OneHope is not going to have any luck in changing its Wikipedia page the way you are going about it. Repeatedly adding evangelical language to the beginning will get reverted, and eventually the article will be protected from further changes. If you want to have an impact on the article, follow the WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide and make suggestions on the talk page, which other editors will look at and possibly incorporate. —Ganesha811 (talk) 14:22, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
