User talk:Epizone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi, I removed your recent change to Comparison of content management systems because of a policy of only listing software notable enough to have its own article.
Your user names raises some conflict of interest questions with respect to Epizone. You may find it helpful to read WP:SPAM, particularly the part about how not to be a spammer, and WP:SOFTWARE about how to write an article about software.
I look forward to seeing your contributions in areas that avoid conflict of interest! JonHarder 14:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You really should not be making Epizone-related edits; here are some suggestions
Welcome to Wikipedia. There are a lot of policies and guidelines for editors; most of us have never gotten around to reading all of them (or even many of them). There are some, however, that you really need to take a look at given your recent edits:
- Wikipedia:Conflict of interest -- In a nutshell you should not be editing your own article or adding links to your web sites.
- Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations) -- How prominent should a company be to be to merit a Wikipedia entry?
- Wikipedia:Autobiography, in particular the opening sentences:
- ''You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest."
- Wikipedia:User page -- Users have a lot of latitude over what they put on their own user pages, however, yours is so commercial it will likely get deleted as presently written. It's not really a user page but rather an ad. Here are examples of several similar user pages that recently were deleted; as you can see, the outcome was pretty cut and dried:
So if you have a bunch of competitors listed in the article Comparison of content management systems, and if you shouldn't be writing about your own company, how do you get your company listed? As noted, first Epizone has to be sufficiently notable. My suggestion is that you leave a note on the article's talk page, Talk:Comparison of content management systems, asking the other editors that regularly edit this article to look at your company's web site, consider including it in the list and perhaps even write a brief separate article about Epizone. Also, be sure to use the edit summary feature when you make such a request. This is the small field labeled "Summary" under the main edit-box when you have the edit window open to edit an article. It looks like this:
This will flag folks who track that article to your note. You might use something like "Should Epizone be added to this list? -- see talk page" in the edit summary.
I hope this helps -- welcome to Wikipedia. --A. B. 18:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your use of your page for advertising
I have blanked your user page because it violated our policy governing user pages. That's okay, no harm done, but please don't replace the advertisement on your page. Even though the page is "yours", it is provided primarily for Wikipedia-related purposes and our policy that Wikipedia is not a free web host applies. You are welcome to briefly mention the company you work for as a matter of "who am I" sort of information, but it is inappropriate to actively advertise or promote here. — Saxifrage ✎ 20:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
