Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was APMEX, which 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 any other 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 firm 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

Hello, PMSocial. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article APMEX, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Some comments you have made on your talk page suggest you are affiliated with APMEX, please be careful whilst editing this article or any others you may be affiliated with. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page, thanks! Nz101 - Talk :: Contribs 09:16, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Advice

Here are some tips about editing in a way that won't get reverted. First of all, read Wikipedia: Conflict of interest, and pay special attention to the lede and the section Advice for editors who may have a conflict of interest. When you have done that, I suggest that you start by adding reliable third-party sources. Those can be links to news media or trade organizations but not blogs or private websites.

Then you can add or uppdate uncontroversial facts that are supported by the sources, such as turnover, places of business and the names of key people. Keep your edits as factual as possible, and avoid anything that includes a value judgment or that can be seen as marketing. If you want to change anything that might be controversial please make a suggestion at Talk:APMEX and wait for feedback from other editors. If you don't get any feedback, you can contact me or other contributors to the article and ask for comments. You can see a list of contributors here. Hope this helps.
