Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Draft:Vector Consulting, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 08:10, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I saw your note on my talk page. When you want to establish notability for any subject, you must find a variety of reliable, independent sources that discuss it. Press releases that are published in business newsletters, speaker's bureaus write-ups, and other promotional fluff are not considered reliable. A look at the sources you've chosen for this article shows most of them to be press releases and promotional mentions. Footnotes 3 and 6 are better-suited for Wikipedia's notability purposes, and more information about the company could be gleaned from them to build an article. Footnote 7 should be under "External links" – it's an interview with the company head, nothing to do with the notability of the company. But you need more than 2 sources; if a company has not been written up for its achievements in at least a handful of independent, third-party sources, it probably isn't suitable for this encyclopedia. The rule of thumb is not "It exists, therefore it's notable", but, "It has been covered in a variety of independent, third-party sources, therefore it's notable". If you have more questions, please ask. Yoninah (talk) 17:40, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
