Hello Orangemike, I can imagine the challenges of keeping spam off wikipedia. Unfortunately, the standard protocol you have applied has been applied incorrectly. 1. Promotion: my website is non-commercial and exists exclusively to understand organizations. 2. Represents a business or organization: none, this is my professional interest. 3. One person: that's me 4. Compensation: lol, my website costs me about $100CAD per annum. 5. Useful contributions: - I have spent the last 5 years thinking about internal controls and have compiled the most comprehensive list available. - As far as I can tell, it is relatively unique and as such contributes to the thought leadership on the subject matter. - I have done something similar with Risk Categories. 6. As a final note, I understand the need for the rigour applied with Wikipedia and the never ending battle against spam. However, I am one of the good guys. Content and research on my website is provide to the commons for general consumption. I have purposely avoided monetizing the site exactly so I have complete and absolute independence. Not everything on myorgbio.org is Wikipedia relevant - but some, such as the list of internal controls, is.
Finally as an example of my belief in the underlying principles of Wikipedia, I would encourage you to reach out to Leanne S. Development Associate with the foundation. I have been having ongoing conversations about bringing a charitable status for Wikipedia to Canada for the past 2-3 years. Once again, no self-promotion, just a belief in what has been built and accomplished by groups of volunteers.
My email is on my site, feel free to reach out via that method if you want further clarifications on any of the above.

editHello, I'm Creffett. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Internal control have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. creffett (talk) 14:12, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
