User talk:DTEbm

October 2019

Hello, I'm Philip Trueman. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Desktop Engineering 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. Philip Trueman (talk) 09:12, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, DTEbm. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Desktop Engineering, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• 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 WP:Spam);
• 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.

You make it clear in your user page that you work for DTE. There is a clear conflict of interest here. I ask you to consider what effect any negative publicity that "the company has been caught editing its own article on Wikipedia" may have on your career. I am considering reporting you at WP:COI/N.
