  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion.

  Perhaps it will help to expand a little on the above message. Many new editors have surprisingly limited views on what the word "promotional" can mean. To give an extreme example, I once came across an editor who wrote a page of pure marketing speak, full of information about how his company's "solutions" were the best available for clients, and so on and so on, and appeared to genuinely think that the page could not be regarded as "promotional" because it didn't mention any prices. While that is an extreme and unusual case, it is surprisingly common for people to write pages full of what almost any objective outsider would see as promotion, but appear to sincerely not understand why. Any Wikipedia page the principal purpose of which appears to be to impress the reader with how good, great, noble, or beneficial its subject is, i.e. to promote it, is liable to deletion at any time without warning. Normally, draft articles are given much more leeway than actual articles, so that there is a chance for editing to remove the promotional content, but if it is not removed the page will not be suitable to become an article, and may eventually be deleted. Any editor who persistently edits in a promotional way after being warned about Wikipedia's policy on promotional editing is liable to be blocked from editing.

COI

edit

  Hello, Nicolelxr. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Kuang-Chi, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Matthew_hk tc 12:46, 30 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
