Hello, MoreCommerce. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about on the page
Auctiva, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{ request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. WhoAteMyButter ( 📨talk│ 📝contribs) 04:46, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
When there is erroneous information, about our company and product on wikipedia, what is the best approach to correct it? Everything I added in the history included citations to major media sources about acquisitions and mergers, what's the appropriate way for an interested part yto correct info on wikipedia. We had had several outside entities reference wikipedia to infer or make incorrect claims about Auctiva. Thank you. MoreCommerce
- @ MoreCommerce: Since you have identified as being affiliated with the company, you must review and comply with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure policy before making any further edits. When you have made the proper disclosures, then you can use edit requests on the article's talk page.
- Please also realize that Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wishes to say about itself, or how it wants to be portrayed. Articles must rely on information published by reliable and independent sources, and the text must be written from a purely neutral point of view. Company-authored sources like press releases, or user-generated content from Crunchbase or Forbes contributors are not considered reliable. Please look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources to see a list of commonly-discussed sources and the Wikipedia community's evaluation of their reliability. -- Drm310 🍁 ( talk) 22:00, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the additional info @Drm310, I appreciate the additional context and list of approved sources. We will update the acquisition history, the specific misinformation that has caused issues, with only sources from the list. MoreCommerce ( talk) 19:15, 31 January 2022 (UTC)MoreCommerce
