Sam Austrums

• Your article is highly promotional therefore an immediate concern by our policies WP:What Wikipedia is not (also, please see WP:Paid if you're connected), because the offered information is only what a general business website would say, not an independent encyclopedia here and, then the sources are instant announcements or notices expected for any company, and are nothing else than that (some are simply local business news stories with that targeted intention), wherever published. Remember that notability cannot be inherited and there's no exceptions for companies; for example; the largest information parts are simply what their own releases would say. What we actually need is significant major independent news that wasn't company-based itself or similarly influenced, as it won't establish notability. SwisterTwister talk 05:18, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 16:31, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Notice of Wikipedia's conflict of interest policies

Hello, Sam Austrums. 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 which forms all or part of work 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. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 01:33, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Paid editing policy

Hello Sam Austrums. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Sam Austrums. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Sam Austrums|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:59, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. ALPHA BOB (talk) 16:27, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Your company's clients

Thank you for posting a declaration of your conflict of interest. It may feel like you're being deluged with information and rules right now; it does get easier. When you have time, a list of clients would be a helpful addition to your user page. See User:MaryGaulke for an example. Cheers, BlackcurrantTea (talk) 04:54, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 15:58, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
