[edit source]17:44:13, 12 August 2016 review of submission by Triminator
[edit source]- Triminator (talk · contribs)
Hello, 1. Could you tell me how to properly cite an offline magazine issue labeled September 2016 but was released in July 16, I am having some error messages in the date that I can't resolve. My attempt follows: Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration at line 2172: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value). 2. Should I remove the press releases from the article? I was told nobody cares about what we have written about our machines but wasn't clear if I needed to remove them or if was fine to leave them. 3. Could I get some feedback on my edits? My first submission sounded too much like marketing copy, I've gone through and cleaned it up but I'm not sure if it's acceptable. Thank you Triminator (talk) 17:44, 12 August 2016 (UTC) Triminator (talk) 17:44, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
- Triminator. Self-published sources are not forbidden, but they don't count toward establishing the notability of a subject. If you want an article on the company, you are going to have to show that others have written about it in reliable secondary sources.
- Also, you should probably look into changing your username, since having a username that represents a company is not allowed. TimothyJosephWood 17:52, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
