Hello, Companyangels, 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.)
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- 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
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a

I am far from savvy with this site and barely got the Sidney Kimmel Entertainment page made. As such, I really need help with all of the information above. I placed a username change and am waiting for that to happen. As far as language that is not neutral on the Sidney Kimmel Entertainment page, can you point that out to me? Also, Can you be specific as to what is this message means and refers to 'This article currently links to a large number of disambiguation pages (or back to itself). Please help direct these ambiguous links to articles dealing with the specific meaning intended'?. ( Companyangels ( talk) 22:24, 21 July 2015 (UTC))
- Your username has already been changed. Regarding the language, take for example this sentence: "Sidney Kimmel Entertainment focuses on bringing high profile, quality entertainment projects to contemporary audiences" - that's a collection of buzzwords that provides next to no information. For example, barring the use of a time machine, how could the company possibly bring entertainment to audiences that aren't contemporary? And "high profile, quality entertainment" - is that really how independent sources speak about Sidney Kimmel Entertainment? The note about the large number of disambiguation pages comes from various links in your article that don't quite point to the page you'll probablly want them to point to. Take for example
Breach or
Demolition - those don't point to film articles but to a
disambiguation page that lists various articles on topics named "breach", and to an article about demolition, respectively. Those aren't the only links whose targets likely aren't those you intended. For those two, the articles you meant are probably
Breach (film) and
Demolition (film). In order not to show the parentheticals (but to link to the correct articles) you'll want to use "piped" links:
[[Breach (film)|Breach]]will be displayed as Breach - but unlike the "Breach" link above this one does point to the film article. See Help:Links for more details. If you prefer not to bother with the wiki code, you may want to take a look at the Visual Editor, a more "what you see is what you get" kind of editor for Wikipedia. You'd have to turn it on in your preferences, though. Huon ( talk) 23:14, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Thank you! I made the changes to the buzzwords in the first paragraph and updated ALL of the disambiguation links. Please let me know if all is fine now, I would hate for the page to be deleted or further edited by someone else if it's something I can fix on my end. Thanks again! Huon
- Wikipedia is a collaborative project. You should always expect others to edit pages, and in fact claiming " ownership" of a page is strongly frowned upon. The article still can (and sooner or later will) be improved in various ways. The "focuses on bringing entertainment projects to audiences" still is unclear to me - I would have assumed it to mean that they're actually a film distributor except it goes on to say that others do the distributing. At times the article wanders quite a bit off-topic; for example I don't see how mentioning the previous works of a specific screenwriter improves our readers' unerstanding of Sidney Kimmel Entertainment. I'd think some basic information such as the number of employees, the revenues or the profits (if we can find reliable sources) would be much more helpful for an article on a company.
- If you work for the company, directly or indirectly, you'll also want to take a look at the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use on paid editing. In short, you'll have to add a note to your user page to disclose that association. Huon ( talk) 21:16, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
