Moved draft

Hi, I've moved your draft to its correct title, you can now find it at Draft:Systemair.

I've also cleared out the redirects you had left behind on your user page and here on your talk page, as they were confusing things.

As a general rule, if you're not sure whether a page move is the right thing to do, it's probably not. Moving things around and creating redirects each time will inevitably result in a bit of a mess.

Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

April 2024

Hello Feetonheat28. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Systemair, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Feetonheat28. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Feetonheat28|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Systemair (April 9)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Primary sources and routine business reporting do not establish notability per WP:NCORP.

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:Systemair 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.

Hello, Feetonheat28! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Concern regarding Draft:Systemair

Hello, Feetonheat28. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Systemair, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 17:00, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Feetonheat28, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Feetonheat28|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I copied the form and replaced the fields with my employer in my user page – but I'm not sure I did it right... Feetonheat28 (talk) 12:55, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wait. I just reread your comment above and it says that I have to state that I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. I am employed and paid by MRstudios, an interactive 3D software development firm based in the Czech Republic. Feetonheat28 (talk) 11:14, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The page that I am looking to create/edit is for a ventilations company named Systemair. Feetonheat28 (talk) 14:40, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have some sort of professional or personal relationship with Systemair? Or put another way, how did you choose this company to write about? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:51, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They used to be clients of MRstudios for a couple years (we developed VR/AR apps for them). I work in marketing and not app development, so I never worked directly with them.

I saw that they recently celebrated their 50th anniversary and wanted to read more about them so I googled them only to find that they have just Swedish and I think German Wikipedia pages which I thought was strange because they are a big multinational brand in ventilation solutions.

Anyway since they already had pages in other languages I figured it wouldn't be difficult to also do so in English. But turns out it's been quite a challenge though at this point I am invested in actually publishing a Wikipedia page after having been somewhat trying for almost a year by now... Feetonheat28 (talk) 16:03, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the English-language Wikipedia can be a challenge, we have stricter requirements in what comes to notability and verifiability than any of the other language versions (that I'm aware of, at least), therefore it often happens that an article is accepted into one or more of the other language versions but not here.

If the company you work for has a business relationship with this company you're writing about, then I would say that this gives rise to a conflict of interest. If they are no longer a client of your company, then that probably doesn't amount to a paid-editing COI, though. My advice would be to make the general COI disclosure using the {{User COI}} template, rather than the paid-editing ({{Paid}}) one. Either way, the outcome is largely the same, so which template you use is not that important; what's more important is that you make a disclosure. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:14, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I have added the disclosure to my user page.

Out of curiosity, I checked if companies similar to Systemair have wikipedia pages and found this page of a less significant competitor company. 3/4 of their sources are from their own website/material – that's acceptable by Wikipedia standards? https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Swegon Finding their page was also what made me think that if even Swegon is significant enough to have a Wikipedia page, why wouldn't Systemair.
