Hobbs article

edit

Hello, thank you for writing this article! I have a few concerns about it and wanted to discuss them with you:

  • I’m a bit concerned that this company might not be notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article. That link goes to a guide, but basically any coverage of a company on here is supposed to be based on being covered in reliable sources, like newspapers, in the form of full articles and not just things like business listings.
  • A lot of it reads like a press release or promotional copy, not a factual encyclopaedia article.

Are there any extra citations you can add from reliable sources like news articles about this company demonstrating that it's notable? (Those are links to guides explaining this in more detail.) I'm concerned since the article may get deleted otherwise.

Also, since the article reads like you might be marketing the company, you might want to look at this, an automated text on editing if you have a conflict of interest. All the best, any questions just let me know and I'll try to help. Blythwood (talk) 13:47, 19 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, Jackylovato. 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.

Hello, Jacky. I can see that you have made an effort to improve the content of the Hobbs article since it was first deleted. However, you have not declared your conflict of interest, despite the previous warning. Please take another look at our policies and try to avoid editing this article in future.

Hello again, Jacky. I don't know how much clearer I need to be about this. Please declare your interest on your user page and take great care before you even think about editing this particular article again.Deb (talk) 21:44, 22 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi - thanks for the feedback - I'm trying to figure out how to add my COI status but am struggling to be honest. Will figure it out. Jackylovato (talk) 12:22, 23 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
