editHello. Your recent edit to Outliner appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest
editHello, 62.202.191.230. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Outliner, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with 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).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 01:04, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Disputed edits
editHello, please use the article's talkpage Talk:Outliner to discuss disputed edits instead of edit-warring over apparently promotional additions. I have already linked all relevant guidelines above and the handling of such lists is based on common consensus (some lists are not properly maintained, because in a volunteer project with millions of pages not all articles can be maintained at once with the same quality). I will also start a thread on the talkpage for further discussion - please feel free to join this thread but do not re-insert disputed content without consensus.

editWelcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Outliner, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 02:09, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
