Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! You posted at my talk page to ask about a resubmission of an article about SmartBear Software. You posted your proposed article there, and I have moved it to a your private user space so that we can discuss it. You can find it at User:Eugene450/SmartBear Software. Let's discuss it here on your talk page. I'll take a look and make some comments. Thanks for working on this. --MelanieN (talk) 21:59, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Okay, sounds great. Looking forward to your comments. - Eugene450 (talk) 22:11, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, I see that you have expanded it from the deleted article. You have added Overview and History and Founding sections. You've trimmed the puffery in the Products section; good, because that was a complaint at the Articles for deletion discussion. You've added a huge number of references, and that will be the key question: Are they independent, reliable sources and are they actually talking about the company? Let me work on that question a little and then I'll get back to you. Actually I am about to go out, so I'll check back with you later today.
- Also, I see that you work for the company. Thank you for saying that up front. Please read Wikipedia's policy on editing with a conflict of interest. It's not forbidden, as long as you disclose it, which you have done. You do have to take extra care to be neutral, and I will weigh in on that issue when I have more time. --MelanieN (talk) 22:14, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- What I tried to do was look at the reasons the page was deleted, and look at other similar companies' wikipedia pages. Regarding the resources: I made sure to read up on what count as reliable sources and yes, they are independent, reliable sources, and talk about SmartBear and SmartBear products. Please let me know if any of the sources don't qualify as reliable.
- I've read about the COI, and decided being upfront about it is the best way to go. I paid a lot of attention to making this as factual & neutral as possible, and I hope I succeeded! If not, please let me know what to edit when you get a chance. Thanks for your time - much appreciated! - Eugene450 (talk) 22:22, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
