This was my first article; I apologize if it appears I have not complied with the rules. I am certainly interested in correcting the problem.
In the creation of the “Alex Marcoux” page, there was no money exchanged. I am an associate of Alex Marcoux. My work is completely independent of Ms. Marcoux’s and in no way do I personally or professionally benefit from Ms. Marcoux’s public standing, so I do not see the conflict of interests.
Every fact laid out in the biography I wrote is verifiable and in no way embellished. Since this was my first attempt at using Wikipedia, I took great pains to tailor the article after other published author pages. I fully understand Wikipedia is a well-respected online encyclopedia and not a business directory. I chose to add Ms. Marcoux’s biography to Wikipedia because her accomplishments are noteworthy and interesting. She is the author of three novels and one non-fiction book, and has had her work published by four different publishers. The non-fiction book is currently being translated into Korean and will be released in Korea in May of 2015 by another publisher. Ms. Marcoux is a former scientist, credited with being instrumental in the development of Crystal Light for General Foods. She also testified to a Congressional committee about her previous employment at a tobacco company. Ms. Marcoux has since used her scientific discipline to create a unique nonfiction book. I certainly appreciate the difficulty of your job. If the article is not in compliance with Wikipedia guidelines, it is unintentional and I am interested in fixing the problem(s).
As far as the user name, I intentionally chose to use my business name in an effort to be transparent and not hide behind meaningless initials or an unrecognizable moniker. I am happy to change the user account name to something that does not appear to be promotional.
I hope my explanation has helped shed some light on the intention behind my creation of the page in question.
