Hello, I'm Stickymatch. I noticed that you recently removed content from Odex without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Odex. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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 another 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 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.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style
• The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Odex, you may be blocked from editing. Adakiko (talk) 04:39, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you blank out or remove content from Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Odex. Adakiko (talk) 04:49, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Dear Adakiko,

I'm an employee from Odex.

The contents about our company is mainly false. Can we get it removed and allow us to rebuild the page again.

Please advise . Thank you. TruthSeekerOX (talk) 01:16, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Your company has no right of ownership or control over the content of the Odex article. Since you are an employee of the company (and therefore meet Wikipedia's definition of a paid editor), please learn the process to submit edit requests that can be reviewed by independent editors.

Please note that the article will reflect only what has been reported previously in sources that are reliable and independent of the company. We have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 03:25, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Appreciate your reply. In that case can I check if we can build another Odex article to present the truth from our point of view. I understand you have no interest what a company wishes. But at least allow us to build and article to defend ourselves. There are many untruths on the present article. TruthSeekerOX (talk) 06:47, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

No, you cannot have a separate article that presents what you believe to be "the truth". Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy states that articles should fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by a reliable source, and should do so in proportion to the prominence of each. Only blatantly libellous content can be removed without discussion.

As already mentioned, if there is content that you believe is problematic, then learn the process of making edit requests using the edit request wizard tool. There is a guide to make simple conflict of interest edit requests that can help you make requests that will be more effective. You will be expected to back up your statements with citations to reliable, published sources. The goal should be to achieve consensus about the article's content. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:44, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi! Please follow the COI guidelines in editing Odex. Persistent editing without using the proper channel will lead to your account being blocked. Wikipedia prefers not to block accounts but rather resolve the issues and differences. Please work with the other editors to help editing the article. Do comply with the guidelines on COI editing. Thanks! ~ JASWE (talk) 02:54, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, please do follow the instructions as outlined by Drm310 as you have a COI. Thanks. ~ JASWE (talk) 02:52, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello TruthSeekerOX! Your additions to Odex have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § Licensing.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 20:41, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
