Inventory management software edit

Thanks for all your contributions to Wikipedia. I tagged Inventory management software as needing it's citations cleaned up (WP:CITE gives more information on this) and that most of the references don't appear to be reliable sources. If you want to start fixing this right away, I'll help. You might want to look over our conflict of interest policy as well, in case it might apply. --Ronz (talk) 22:25, 17 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interest policy edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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.

I think you're doing a good job with your editing, but this is something you need to know and follow. --Ronz (talk) 17:38, 19 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Very good to know. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and for letting me know that I'm doing a good job so far. I'll try to keep avoiding any unfair edits or opinionated points of view.Robertlo9 (talk) 17:47, 19 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:The 7 Non-Negotiables of Winning book cover.png edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:The 7 Non-Negotiables of Winning book cover.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:11, 15 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
