Hi Minorax: I am new to Wikipedia and still trying to figure out. I am honestly not trying to do anything that goes against the rules. Someone contacted me and asked if they wanted to set up a Wikipedia page for me and business because I have been in the tourism industry for 25 years. They wanted to charge a lot of money, so I tried to figure this out myself. Were they trying to scam me? Do you allow a page for reputable travel companies. Thank you very much for your help.

Best,

Anyone contacting you and asking for a large sum (or any amount) of money in exchange for a Wikipedia article is a scammer. dudhhr ^talk _contribs (he/they) 15:57, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

So glad I did not fall for it. The are using wikipedia.net email address, that is what made me think scam as I see you are wikipedia.org To clarify, am I permitted to write a page about my travel company, Honeymoons and Get-A-Ways? Thank you very much. NancyBarkley (talk) 16:00, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

You are permitted to write an article about your travel company, though you should begin it in your userspace or in draftspace. As you are connected to your company, you will need to declare your conflict of interest on your own userpage and on the article's talk page. Additionally, promotion of your company is not allowed, per WP:PROMO. dudhhr ^talk _contribs (he/they) 16:05, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Okay. I was not looking to promote it, just write an article about it. Thank you very much for your help. NancyBarkley (talk) 18:52, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
