Conflict of Interest policy

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I appreciate your efforts to make constructive edits (for example, at Stampede Trail), but you should know that your edits to Odessa, Texas, appear to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's policies about editing while under a conflict of interest, given that your user page announces that you are a "partner in a movie theater and family entertainment center business based in Texas." This page is a shorter, simpler summary of those policies; the central idea is that editors should not make edits that affect Wikipedia's coverage of topics to which the editors have financial connections, since this inevitably means that your work will be colored by your interest in the success of your business. If you feel confident that something you want to add to an article about your business really is neutral and informative, then you should go to the article's talk page and request that someone else make the edit, so that a neutral party can assess the merit of the change. I'll also add that Wikipedia has a core policy about what we call "notability" governing what content should or should not be included in the encyclopedia. If you think that this cinema and entertainment complex is really a "notable" topic that people need to know about, then there should be multiple independent published sources (newspapers, magazines) that talk about the topic with a substantial depth of coverage that can be cited to support the claims made in our article. If you can provide those sources and request an edit from a neutral editor, then this content may be able to go back in.

I hope this doesn't seem too complicated! If Wikipedia is to stay useful to everyone, then we can't have every business piling in to add favorable coverage of themselves to our articles; Wikipedia is not a platform for marketing, and its value comes from its neutrality. Thanks for understanding, and please keep editing! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:10, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

August 2019

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

Your submission at Articles for creation: Cinergy Entertainment Group (October 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Cinergy Entertainment Group and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
