Question

edit

(moved from userpage by Drm310)

Hey to whom it may concern, I am an Emerson College student who is currently on break here in New Jersey. I am doing an independent study over the summer and trying to use Wikipedia. I have chosen a company who does not have a page and wanted to create one. I see someone has flagged my account and was wondering if I can get that override or if I can remake it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colinbth3 (talkcontribs)

Hello. I have moved your question from your userpage, as it is not a discussion forum. This is your user talk page, where you can communicate with other Wikipedia editors. As mentioned in the notice above, your userpage is a personal page for you to write a small amount about yourself.
Before writing about any topic on Wikipedia, you should be aware that article topics must be notable to merit inclusion. In the case of a company, it must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for companies and organizations. Mere existence isn't enough - the company must have already received significant coverage from multiple reliable and independent sources to demonstrate that it is worthy of inclusion.
As well, if you have any affiliation with a topic you write about, it is considered a conflict of interest. If you are employed or otherwise paid by the subject of your writing, then you have disclose this under the stricter and mandatory paid editing disclosure policy.
You can always ask for assistance at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, which is a forum for new editors to ask questions of more experienced editors. You should also review the guide called Wikipedia:Your first article to learn about the requirements and expectations to create new articles. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:00, 26 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
