Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Payroll. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 13:41, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi Bonadea, I am new to Wikipedia Community and still getting used to the rules. So does this mean that if I find information from a website, I shouldn't cite it? Or, should I have added the citation in the "External Links" area? Thank you for any insight you can help with!
- Hi again, no, all information needs a Reliable sources noticeboard, to check with other editors. Please have a look at the guideline here (it's the same one I linked above) ; there's a lot of information there, but hopefully you will find it useful.

Managing a conflict of interest
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;

- 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.

- Hello, and thank you for the information. Looking at other software company Wikipedia pages, I am seeing similar formats, so I am having trouble finding a good reference point. I will remove the quotes from the review sites to start; are there additional areas that I need to address for this to be accepted? Rachelwriting (talk) 14:37, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Promoting your company
It is VERY clear that you are only here to promote your company. Your changes to the short description (Patriot Software is a leading accounting and payroll software in the U.S.) are entirely inappropriate and ridiculous promotion. Theroadislong (talk) 15:38, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, thank you for letting me know. My intention was to showcase credibility and notability for the company, but I see how this is promotional. I have removed "leading." Thank you again. Rachelwriting (talk) 15:53, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
