Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Guardian Chemicals", may not comply with our username policy.

Hello, I'm Ternera. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Brenntag, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Ternera (talk) 21:58, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ternera,I'm Jichao. And I am making a change to an article, Brenntag. I added one sentence about its 2022 revenue amount from its website. I was just adding the citation and found there was a conflict there. Jichao Chen at Guardian Chemicals (talk) 22:06, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Brenntag. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Ternera (talk) 22:01, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Ternera. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to AltaLink have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Ternera (talk) 13:04, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ternera, thanks for your follow-up. For the AltaLink Wikipedia page, I updated the number of transmission lines mileage and the number of substations. Both could be referenced on its website. Why is it inappropriate for an encyclopedia? Jichao Chen at Guardian Chemicals (talk) 14:16, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Jichao Chen at Guardian Chemicals. 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 article subjects 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)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
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. Ternera (talk) 22:02, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
