Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~)
at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}}
on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

editWelcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Inspiredotcom", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it represents an organisation or company and implies that it may be used by more than one person. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:36, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/About Inspire requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://corp.inspire.com/about/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thank you for your feedback--it is appreciated. Please know we plan to follow up to edit the submission to meet the requirements. We anticipate media coverage of the company soon--perhaps within six weeks--that will help support our assertion that this is a newsworthy company, as much as or even more so than some of our indirect competitors already on Wikipedia. Thanks again. JTNwriter (talk) 20:46, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest and Paid editing
editOn February 6, 2016 at the TeaHouse you wrote: "Hi, I am John Novack, with the company Inspire, of Princeton, NJ. I created a profile https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Inspiredotcom and tried to write a basic company description, but frankly I don't know what happened to it, and I want to either retrieve that draft or delete everything and start over. Thanks. Inspiredotcom (talk) 15:05, 6 February 2014 (UTC)." That talk page is now connected to your current username, JTNwriter. This appears to be clear evidence that you are both in a position of Conflict of Interest, and that you are what we call a "Paid editor." Both of these are covered by Wikipedia policies that must be followed. The information pasted below should give you the links that you need. As for the required declaration of both of those, I will check back here and on the Draft:Inspire (company) pages in the next few days. Failure to make the appropriate declarations and failure to follow the intent of the related policies can result in your account being blocked from further editing.
Please understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of social, scientific and historical information. It is not a platform for advertising or promotion. If you are not here to further knowledge in general, then you are not acting in the spirit of the community of volunteers who have created this amazing resource.

Hello, JTNwriter. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.
Dear LaMona Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the conflict of interest issue, I have constantly been upfront as to the fact that I am employed by the company Inspire. I sought guidance as to ensuring that I disclose that fact clearly. It was my understanding, based on guidance from editors, that this disclosure statement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JTNwriter is sufficient. I restate here that I am an employee of Inspire, and I have always attempted to ensure that Wikipedia editors know that fact. I work for a noteworthy company and I am attempting to create a neutral, fact-filled Wikipedia entry. I have modeled my drafts on other Wikipedia articles about privately held US-based companies that have healthcare social networks. I will edit the draft and hope it will meet your standards. Thanks. JTNwriter (talk) 12:44, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, sorry, I missed the notice on the draft page. Are you aware that once the page goes into the main wiki that you are no longer permitted to make direct edits? But that others can? This is an aspect of COI/PAID that some tend to miss. I let you know here as a caution because there is no ownership of pages in Wikipedia, and no single user has control over the content. You don't need to reply, but keep that in mind while editing. Thanks,
LaMona (talk) 15:36, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
Dear LaMona Thank you, I appreciate that additional info, and I'd welcome additional guidance for you: When you say "main wiki," does that mean the status of the article only when the article is accepted? Since it's in draft form now, and has not been accepted yet, I am under the assumption that I can make the edits to the draft that are based on feedback from you and other editors. JTNwriter (talk) 15:45, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, you can continue to edit in draft, because drafts are reviewed. Edits once accepted (sometimes called "main space") do not get peer review so COI editors are requested not to make direct edits to the article, but to discuss/request changes on the talk page. How well this works depends on the community around the article: if there are others interested in the same subject, discussion happens and changes are made by someone whose relationship to the subject is neutral. If there are not others interested, the update process can be slow, but you can request edits from the general community using various methods. LaMona (talk) 15:50, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

editThanks for uploading File:Logo-vertical-lockup (1).png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
