January 2024[edit]

Hello, I'm ThaddeusSholto. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Agile Business Intelligence have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 11:01, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fully agree with the policy of not advertising on Wikipedia. But I don't agree with your critique. The article has not been revised since 2013, and it shows several issues. Refering to publicly available information like the Agile BI City is a useful resource, which is has no commercial offerings included. I'm open to learn what would be a better way to make this useful information available as I'm new to editing Wikipedia. Raphaelbranger (talk) 12:04, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Agile software development. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising, as you did at Data warehouse automation. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 11:16, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Raphaelbranger. 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 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, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 11:08, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
