Hi. Where you wrote "we are trying", may I ask who "we" are? Your contributions to Wikipedia are welcome, but if you are affiliated with or have a close connection to Noilly Prat, Martini & Rossi, Bacardi Global Brands, or a PR firm having them as a client, you may have a conflict of interest. Please familiarize yourself with our content policies and guidelines, especially the policy pertaining to maintaining a neutral point of view.
I reverted the addition of a great deal of material because it was not purely informative material written from an encyclopedic, neutral point of view. Instead, the way it was phrased, it sounded like it was lifted from an advertising brochure written by a slick copywriter. Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion.
The edits that I reverted not only added non-neutrally phrased material, they also removed much relevant material, including all references, and substituted no other references. All material in Wikipedia must be verifiable from reliable sources. This is a non-negotiable policy.
I hope this clarifies the issues. -- Lambiam 21:16, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Rizwanchand!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the
Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the
Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there!

Hello Rizwanchand. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the
Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at
User:Rizwanchand. The template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Rizwanchand|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message.
