July 2019

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. 331dot (talk) 18:57, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Theintern007, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:22, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Hi, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain things to me. I haven't been employed for the purpose of editing their wikipedia, but my boss has asked me to do so and I am not really comfortable refusing. I am still trying my best to follow wikipedia's rules though, so instead of editing the Earth Journalism Network page directly, I've been making a cleaner version in a sandbox of mine. When I think it is ready, what is the best way to get someone to look it over and see if any of my changes can be approved? Again, thank you for being so considerate and kind. Theintern007 (talk) 13:19, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

I kinda understand your situation and how you're seemingly stuck in between a rock and a hard place, but you need to try and explain Wikipedia's position to your boss. If it's considered to be or you consider it to be part of your job, then it's likely going to be seen as more than a simple COI (i.e. it will be seen as a form of "compensated" editing). As I previously posted, neither he/she or the organization(s) he/she works for or represents have any ownership claim over any articles written about these organizations on Wikipedia. If he/she is unable/unwilling to understand WP:COI and WP:OWN, then things are going to be bumpy when you try to edit.

What you seem to be doing is trying to rewrite the entire article in your sandbox. Perhaps you hope to replace the current version with this new version at some later date. This is something, in my opinion, which is going to be really hard to do and gain consensus for just in principle without any COI to worry about, but with the COI it's likely going to be seen as an attempt by the organization to establish some sort of control over the article(s) in question. There's also no guarantee that someone will not simply just revert back to the older version at some latter date.

You'll have a better chance of improving the article in bits and pieces by making edit requests on the article talk page(s). If the changes you want to make are in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines, they should be made by whomever answers the request; if not, they won't. It might take some time for them to get answered, but eventually someone will one way or the other. The simpler and more clearly worded the request is, the easier it will be to answer. If you want to add new content, then providing proper formatted citations to reliable sources in support will make it easier for the request to be answered. Simply providing a link to your user sandbox with a new version of article is going to require the person answering the request to take a bit of read through everything, check every possible citation, etc.; so, the process becomes more like WP:AFC review involving the creation of an entirely new article, then trying to improve an existing article, and is likely something that is going to be keep getting skipped over or declined as too general to answer properly. You can ask about this at WP:COIN if you like. Perhaps someone will have a different take on things.

FWIW, another editor appears to have been working on cleaning up Internews; so, maybe that editor would be willing to look at your sandbox and see if there are some things which can be incorporated into that particular article or help you with Earth Journalism Network. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:44, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Okay, I have submitted an edit request for just a particular part of the page, as you have suggested. We'll see how it goes! Thank you again. Theintern007 (talk) 16:38, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Some editor just did a major cleaning up of that article, but I'm sure if it was due to your request. One thing about article talk pages and edit requests is that formatting laying can get a bit confusing if you try to format things the same way as you want them to be formatted in the article. You unintentionally split your request into two separate discussion threads. This can happen when you're trying to discuss different sections of an article. Sometimes it's best to simply say something like "Add a new level-2 section titled "B" between sections "A" and "C" instead of posting ==B== because the software will format the latter as a entirely new section on the article talk page. Also, using Template:Reflist-talk can be helpful to prevent any references you want added from being automatically being pushed down to the bottom of the article talk page each time a new discussion thread is added. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:20, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
