Links to this article

[edit]

Hi @DMOkeeffe. I saw your recent edit summary where you said I can't think of any pages that should link here. I can't think of any articles that would link here from the body, but there are several articles that reference RTINGS reviews. I've added links from the references for a couple of those, so the article technically isn't an orphan anymore. If you feel it's worth it (which maybe it isn't), there are a few more references to RTINGS.com which could link here. Cheers. Pink Bee (talk) 00:25, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Pink Bee: Good point! I'll go ahead and add wiki-links on other pages already citing RTINGS.com per your suggestion. Would it be appropriate/useful to also add more content citable to RTINGS.com articles on other pages? DMOkeeffe (talk) 17:10, 25 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
Given your COI, I think that would be very difficult for you to do, since adding references to RTINGS.com is basically a form of marketing when done by an editor employed by the company (and even more so as you are involved in their marketing). I am not an expert on this (and if you intend to act on any of this I'd suggest talking to more experienced editors first to make sure you don't get in trouble), but my view is that for any such edit, you would need to be able to justify the following:
  1. That the content added is essential to the article. In other words, that you aren't adding the content for the purpose of referencing RTINGS.com. What you have just said (add more content citable to RTINGS.com) makes this much harder for you to justify, as it suggests that the intention of your editing would be exactly that. If you wanted to be able to claim otherwise, the vast majority of your edits would probably have to not reference RTINGS.com, compared to only a small number which do.
  2. That referencing RTINGS.com is absolutely necessary; that is, that there are no other suitable references for the content you are adding. If there is another source available, you would have to use that one instead, and not RTINGS.com.
I would suggest not trying to do this, even if you think you can meet the above points. The best you can do is probably to suggest RTINGS.com as a source via talk pages, making clear why you can't add the source yourself. These suggestions would need to be justified by (2), but I think it could be done. It would still be ideal if the majority of your contributions were completely unrelated to RTINGS.com. This is currently not the case.
I hope this is helpful. Pink Bee (talk) 19:32, 25 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
I looked for policies before writing the above, but I've only just found WP:SELFCITE, which is what I was looking for. It's not quite the same because these aren't actually your own articles (I assume), but since they're articles from the company you work for, it's a similar idea.
