Steve Sallis

Hi - I see you're working on a draft here - I just wanted to give you a friendly heads-up that your editing there is triggering various automated alarms for promotional writing, which prompted me to take a look at it just now, and just wanted to give you some pointers to save you some time further down the road. I'd urge you to take a look at WP:NOTPROMO and WP:PEACOCK - the phrases which are setting off the alarms are probably things like 'world recognised key note speaker', 'the face and mentor of many elite athletes', etc. Try to write entirely factually and dispassionately - don't try to make the subject sound important or significant, just say what they have done neutrally. It would probably be worth looking at a few other bios on Wikipedia to get a sense for the style of writing we're looking for - and, if you have any connection at all to the subject, you should take a look at WP:COI. Drop me a note on my talk page if you have any questions. cheers GirthSummit (blether) 21:39, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

  Hello, I'm Deb. 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.
  Hello, Audi1988. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Deb (talk) 08:56, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
