How about getting the Dow Corning article a higher resolution version of the logo. See Exxon Mobil or Apple, Inc. where we have an svg file that has unlimited resolution. Svg files store the image as vectors that can be scaled to any size while retaining resolution.

That's a great tip, thank you!

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sagotreespirit was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Wikipedia is not PR: WP:IBA.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Hi MaryGaulke,

Whilst you seem to have made a good-will attempt to disclose your conflicts of interest on your user talkpage, the disclosures you have made are not sufficient under Wikipedia's paid editing policy. Specifically, for each and every article where you have received or expect to receive payment, directly or indirectly, for your edits, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation - who paid you, who requested the edits, and who brokered the transaction. It would also be helpful for users reviewing your edits if you added internal links to the affected articles as a courtesy. Wikilinks are not required by Wikipedia's policies, but correct disclosure is mandatory. Yunshui ^雲_水 09:10, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Yunshui: Hi, thanks for your message! To clarify, would you like me to break out on my user page which COIs are for clients with me personally vs. which are with my employer? I do also specify this in the {{Connected contributor (paid)}} template I place on each affected talk page. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 18:47, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I found my way here from Calvin Cheng; you hadn't posted a talkpage template there so I'd assumed you weren't doing that, but I see you have used them elsewhere. The disclosure you made at Talk:Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City is a good example of how to go about making a talkpage disclosure correctly, and that's generally considered to be adequate disclosure, as long as you remember to do it... Thank you for adding the wikilinks to your userpage, that's a big improvement. Whilst you're not obligated to separate out your list of articles, you do still need to disclose who is paying you (whether it is your agency or the article subject directly); a segregated list would be a fairly easy way to do that, or you can continue to do so on article talkpages if that is your preference. You only need to list those articles which you have actually edited (or requested edits for), however. Yunshui ^雲_水 08:47, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I seem to have just forgotten the template on Calvin Cheng's talk page, but I assure you that's my standard procedure. I've added it now. I generally add a client to my user page when I begin drafting content for them, even if it's just in my sandbox. Not all clients make it past that stage, which is why there's an occasional discrepancy. Mary Gaulke (talk) 20:07, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
