{{Help Me}} Hi Fred, thank you for your note. I believe the citation you are referring to is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) definition for remanufacturing. If there is a better way of citing that definition, please let me know. The information that has been reinstated on the wikipedia page for remanufacturing was replaced because we noted all of the comments of how the information was not only incorrect but not properly cited (very old, out-dated and only focused on the automotive industry). We are a non-profit organization representing the entire remanufacturing industry and are not looking for self-promotion but for the public to better understand what remanufacturing is. Please advise on how to proceed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RemanIndCouncil (talk • contribs)

Welcome!
[edit]Hello, RemanIndCouncil, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Remanufacturing, which 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 undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. 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.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}}
before the question. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 01:40, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm Mcmatter. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Remanufacturing have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 22:50, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "RemanIndCouncil", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy.
