Hi, I am a marketing team member for McDermott Will & Emery and needed to change the language to match our new brand language that is used across all communications materials as of today. I also need to update our logo as it has recently changed. Please help to confirm my account so that I can update the company logo. Thank you.

Er, no. Read WP:PAID first - and remember you are not allowed to use Wikipedia to promote your company. Doing so will get you blocked. QuiteUnusual (talk) 17:21, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi - so I can't even update the logo to be correct? I understand you not wanting overly promotional materials but I don't see why updating a logo image is inappropriate. Can you please advise.

Read the content on the link I gave you. You must meet the requirements of the policy before editing including make a clear declaration that you are being paid to edit and by whom. You are also strongly advised to request the edit on the article talk page and not to make the edit yourself. QuiteUnusual (talk) 18:48, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

I have added the new logo to the infobox. However, I strongly second the advice given to you by QuiteUnusual and suggest that you inform other employees of McDermott Will & Emery's marketing and PR departments of Wikipedia's policies on paid editing.

Hello, I'm PohranicniStraze. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to McDermott Will & Emery have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. PohranicniStraze (talk) 00:57, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to McDermott Will & Emery. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.
