Advertisements are not welcome here edit

  Hello, Espresso99. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article User:Espresso99/FairWarning Software, Inc., you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 03:06, 13 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Your submission at Articles for creation: IMS MAXIMS edit

 
Thank you for your recent submission to Articles for Creation. Your article submission has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. Please view your submission to see the comments left by the reviewer. You are welcome to edit the submission to address the issues raised, and resubmit once you feel they have been resolved.

  Hello, Espresso99. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people or things you have written about in the article [[Articles for creation: IMS MAXIMS]], be careful. People close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may make them mistakenly add overly-flattering or overly-disparaging content. So please read our plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Here's a partial summary of its advice:

  • Be transparent about your conflict of interest.
  • Do not edit articles about yourself, your business, or your competitors.
  • Post suggestions and sources on the article's talk page, or create a draft in your user space.
  • Your role is to summarize, inform and reference — not to promote, whitewash, or sell.
  • If writing a draft, write without bias, as if you don't work for the company or personally know the subject.
  • Have us review your draft.
  • Work with us and we'll work with you.

Please read the whole guide. It explains how to perform the above seven steps, and provides more advice. See also our policies on conflict of interest, neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography, which everyone must follow.

Thank you. Reliable sources do not include press releases, taken directly from the issuer or regurgitated through trade websites. Where is the coverage in the legitimate press (general interest, financial or technological)? --Orange Mike | Talk 04:15, 12 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of IMS MAXIMS edit

 

The article IMS MAXIMS has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non-notable small specialized software company -- all the resources are essentially press releases

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
