November 2016

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Omixon has been reverted.
Your edit here to Omixon was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/user/OmixonMarketing) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 10:23, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Cahk (talk) 10:56, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with this edit to Omixon. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 12:05, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Advice

The reason your page was deleted was that it was promotional, the company using Wikipedia to tell the world about itself. Large parts were copied straight from the company website. That in itself is enough for speedy deletion as a copyright violation (Wikipedia's CC-BY-SA license permits any reader to copy, modify and re-use material for any purpose including commercial, and it is essential that the actual copyright owner understands and agrees to that. Therefore, a formal release as described at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials is required).

That is not often worth doing, because an encyclopedia article has a completely different purpose from a company website. It should give, not the story the company wants to tell, but an outside view, based on external sources. Wikipedia requires references that show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" for two reasons: to establish that the subject meets Wikipedia's inclusion criterion, called Wikipedia:Notability, and to provide a basis for writing an article from an independent point of view.

This is explained in User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard, which I wrote because I have this conversation so often. Wikipedia does not explain as well as it should to new users what it is not for; but if we allowed every company to copy their website in, we would be no more use than Facebook as a work of reference.

I presume that you work for Omixon. Editing with a conflict of interest is discouraged, because it is hard to maintain the necessary neutral point of view, but it is not forbidden, though you will see from WP:PSCOI that you should not edit directly, but may submit drafts for review. It is however required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use ("Paid contributions without disclosure" under section 4), and in some jurisdictions by laws against covert advertising, that you disclose your interest in any edits for which you expect to receive remuneration, either specifically or because they are made as part of your employment.

If I restored the article as it stood before your edits, it might well be nominated for deletion because it contained no references except the company website. What I will do tomorrow (I am out of time tonight) is restore the article to a draft location where you can work on it. In the meantime, collect independent reference about the company to verify what your article will say, read WP:Your first article and WP:Writing better articles, and consider the advice in the last few paragraphs of my essay.

Restored to draft

I have restored the article, as it was before your edits, to Draft:Omixon. What you should do is, first make on your user page the required COI declaration: something like "I am employed by Omixon and edit Wikipedia on their behalf." Then add to the article references that show significant coverage of the company from sources independent of it, particularly those that verify what the article says. If you wish to update the content, be extremely careful to avoid anything that could be considered promotional - stick strictly to verifiable facts. When ready, clicking the blue "Submit" link will send the draft for review by an experienced user, who will either accept it or give you feedback. JohnCD (talk) 17:13, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
