Talk:Arc Institute

Conflict of Interest issues

I was asked to give my opinion on the article. The specific question was about WP:NOTABILITY, and I think Arc Institute is a subject that meets those criteria, as far as I can tell based on some quick Google News searches. However, I think the more serious issue is WP:CONFLICTOFINTEREST. You've disclosed that you're a WP:PAID contributor, as you're supposed to in this situation, and good on that. However, there's the larger issue of an article on an organization that is 100% the product of an employee of that organization. And my first impression on reading it is that it sounded a lot like a press release, which underlines the COI issue.

So if I were you, I'd post your request for review to the COI noticeboard: Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard and see what they have to say about it. If you do move the article to regular article space, then be sure to tag it per the instructions under "How to disclose a COI": Wikipedia:DCOI.

Hi Peter G Werner, thanks for your quick response! I'm not planning to move the article to regular article space just yet for those exact reasons. At this stage I was just hoping to get your thoughts and to collaborate with impartial editors. I've made some edits based on your feedback, thank you. If you have any further comments after those changes, I'd appreciate it. Thanks again for your time, JoeofArc21 (talk) 19:32, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Your company is a bit out of my area of expertise, but hopefully you'll be able to find someone to work with on this who can deal with any COI issues that come up from the article content. Cheers! Peter G Werner (talk) 19:59, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
