A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, WDorceus. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Proposed deletion of Insticator

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

Apparently non-notable company. The references are a mix of name checks, non-independent content, unreliable sources, press releases, and regurgitation of press releases. Searches at Google Books and Google News did not reveal any substantive coverage I could see in published, reliable, secondary, independent sources on which a demonstration of notability for the topic could be bolstered.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:22, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Insticator for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Insticator is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Insticator until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:38, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Potential COI

Hi there,

A recent edit you made indicated to me that you might have an apparent conflict of interest. I would strongly suggest that you read the Conflict of Interest guidelines, and follow any relevant advice that might contained within. I am not implying that you're doing (nor have done) anything deceptive or wrong, but editors/editing with conflicts of interest is a contentious issue on Wikipedia.

I also want to point out (again, emphasizing that I have no reason to think this applies to you, I just want to cover all the bases here) that being paid to edit Wikipedia without proper disclosure is a violation of the Terms of Use.

If you'd like to talk to me about this, you can reach out on my talk page or here by using {{ping|Menaechmi}} menaechmi (talk) 14:54, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, WDorceus. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Insticator, 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. Thank you. AllyD (talk) 06:49, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your raised concerns. I am not being paid to write this article, however, I understand that there might be a COI. Would the next best option be to request to have the page edited? WDorceus (talk)
