Hello, Bhannify. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article GovX, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the ((request edit)) template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. your edit summary "Updated the logo of our company." makes me think you may have a connection to the company Tornado chaser (talk) 00:28, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I would like to know if my requested article for GovX can be reviewed? Are the sources I provided ok? You can find GovX in here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Business_and_economics/Companies/F-L&stable=0#G Bhannify (talk) 18:47, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- The Requested Articles area has a severe backlog of literally tens of thousands of requests. It is not a queue. A limited number of volunteer editors look over them and pick the ones that they are willing and able to work on, and those that they have available independent reliable sources for. There really isn't anything you can do to speed this up.
- In reviewing your edits I see that you have an association with this company. If so, please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures you must make, per the Wikipedia Terms of Use. You could attempt to use Articles for Creation to create and submit a draft, but company representatives have a low chance of success in my experience, because they have a difficult time setting aside what they know about their company and only writing based on the content of independent reliable sources that have chosen on their own to write about the company, and not based on any materials put out by the company(such as interviews, press releases, announcements of routine business activites like the raising of capital or the release of a product, brief mentions), showing how the company meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. The best indicator of a company meriting an article is when independent editors take note of coverage in independent sources and choose on their own to write about it.
- You also may not be aware that an article about your company is not necessarily desirable. There are good reasons for the company to not want one. It would not be the company's to control, and it could not prevent others from editing it or dictate what appears there. Any information about the company, good or bad, could be in its article. Representatives of the company would be limited to edit requests for future contributions. 331dot (talk) 20:00, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
