How do I fix my page?

{{helpme}} Can someone take a look at my page and give me some advice on how to make it conform to the guideline? I thought that I cited enough sources and kept an objective tone in the article. But, it was flagged.

Thanks. GriffGriffin Patrick (talk) 14:24, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need external links within the text, you should try and provide more reference info (authors, etc). Also, it doesn't seem to establish much notability. Has it won many awards? The company website is not a reliable source. I advise that you read WP:YFA for more details on starting an article. fetchcomms☛ 15:08, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Hello, Griffin Patrick, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you have edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then get me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that if more than one person is using this account to edit, then unfortunately it will be blocked from editing.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Fences&Windows 18:32, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First, please provide more information about those references. What was the title of the article in the magazine, who wrote it? What are the details of that book you use as a reference? Articles need to be based on multiple independent reliable sources to show notability. Basically, if you can't show that enough newspapers, magazines and books unconnected with this company have given it attention, it will be deleted. Wikipedia is not a directory of businesses or a place to promote a business, it only includes those topics those pass the notability guidelines. Fences&Windows 17:40, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
