Tailrank

edit

Hello, Burtonator, and welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, Tailrank, has been tagged for speedy deletion because its content is clearly written to promote a company, product, or service. This article may have been deleted by the time you see this message. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service. Thank you.

PageRank‎

edit

Hi, I removed the addition you made to PageRank‎ because it does not follow the style for a See also entry. (In particular, links to other Wikipedia articles are all that is appropriate.) Please see that section for more information. I added a collection of guidelines for your perusal in case you would like to learn how to avoid having your edits reverted. Thanks! —EncMstr (talk) 19:19, 2 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Burtonator. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Incremental reading, 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) 21:42, 1 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
