This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of NetWorth Services, Inc., and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.networthservices.com/about-networth-services/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Information icon Hello, Marisakdiaz. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article NetWorth Services, Inc., you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Drm310 (talk) 17:16, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at NetWorth Services, Inc., you may be blocked from editing. See also WP:SOLUTION. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:51, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NetWorth Services

[edit]

Hi Marisakdiaz. I saw your post here. The information added to a NetWorth Services article needs to be independent of NetWorth Services, meaning that information on NetWorth Services' website should not be summarized into Wikipedia. Also, the information should be from an independent, reliable source. The deleted NetWorth Services, Inc. article had a tremendous amount of text, apparently added to Wikipedia without concern as to whether it was published in an independent, Wikipedia reliable source. The way Wikipedia puts a cap on the length of its articles is by requiring the information summarized into the article be from independent, reliable source. You have the correct idea by referring to the New York Times, which is both independent of NetWorth Services and a Wikipedia reliable source. However, that New York Time article[1] may only convert to two sentences in a Wikipedia article about NetWorth Services. That by itself is not enough information for a Wikipedia article. (On a different note, The deleted article said NetWorth Services was founded in 1997, but this 1995 article refers to NETworth services.) The company has released a lot of press releases (Business Wire, PR News, etc.), which are not independent sources can cannot be used in Wikipedia to summarize information on the NetWorth Services topic. However, there is some independent reliable source material on the company:[2], [3], [4]. The topic may meet WP:GNG. The problem is that NetWorth Services writers are not allowed per WP:COI to post information to a NetWorth Services article. Here is what you can do. Have the NetWorth Services writers compile all the independent, reliable sources chronologically into a file (not in Wikipedia). Then, in a Microsoft word document, write sentences for a draft NetWorth Services article by summarizing each source one at time and put a footnote at the end of each sentence using the template:citation for each footnote. Model the draft after articles in Category:FA-Class company articles or Category:GA-Class company articles. (That is basically how I wrote this post.) When the draft article is completed, post it to Wikipedia:Articles for creation and ask that it be moved to article name space. In your request, note your conflict of interest. Keep in mind that you are not writing about NetWorth Services but instead are writing a summary of what the collective of independent, reliable sources write about NetWorth Services. Do that and things should fall your way. -- Jreferee (talk) 15:38, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
