Freeloading?[edit]

Keeping articles in ones user space always smacks to me of using Wikipedia as a free host. I have moved User:Amsterdad/ChrisArnold to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ChrisArnold. You have various options for the others: move to mainspace, move to AfC, tag for U1 deletion or wait for me to move them to AfC space. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:47, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what a free host is, but if there is an issue with getting distracted from one page while thinking about another and not being sure whether or not I want to post my work on Wikipedia, then I'll move these to sandboxes that do not include the page names in them and hopefully that solves your issue. Also, would you mind sending me the link to the Wikipedia policy instructing Wikipedia administrators to move new pages to AFC without the consent of the creator who is still working on them (possibly resulting in a rejection caused by said administrator who didn't want to wait to vet the article), as well as the policy whereby a user cannot keep work in their sandboxes beyond a set period of time? Understanding the limitations as to how editors are allowed to create their articles within their user space sandboxes would help me in determining whether or not to continue contributing to the website. Amsterdad (talk) 14:29, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Moving to different names would serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever. If you do not like my actions, you are quite at liberty to reverse them and I will consider whether to take alternative actions. I have not seen a stated time limit for user space drafts but the six month time limit for G13 deletions might be considered to create a precedent. Please indicate how long we may be expected to wait before you get around to publishing your drafts. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:33, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Steven Cox[edit]

Hello Amsterdad,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Steven Cox for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheLongTone (talk) 21:16, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contesting deletion of Steven Cox[edit]

Hello TheLongTone,

I posted the following response on the talk page for Steven Cox, contesting it due to the following:

This page should not be speedy deleted because...

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Amsterdad (talk) 02:22, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a page on an entrepreneur who is notable due to his established history as well as the amount of sourced material. Sources such as : http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/03/smallbusiness/small_business_jobs/ http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2009/may/17/lz1b17startup215029-survival-mode/?dsq=9471776#comment-9471776 http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/columnist/wolff/2013/02/24/michael-wolff-specialty-lists-push-into-craigs-territory/1943975/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/chicceo/2013/02/18/10-unique-businesses-to-help-you-keep-your-resolution/ http://www.inc.com/magazine/20090501/a-recession-high-note.html http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/04/02/us-usa-workplace-music-idUSTRE53102C20090402 http://www.crunchbase.com/company/takelessons-com#ixzz2gPDTUa1k http://ocbj.media.clients.ellingtoncms.com/static/sdbj/supplements/Fastest-Growing-Private-Cos_1307.pdf http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/31/music-lessons-marketplace-takelessons-grabs-4m-from-pinterest-exec-softtech-others-to-expand-into-new-verticals/ http://www.businessinsider.com/hottest-startups-in-san-diego-2013-9?op=1

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to DJ Amadeus may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ChrisArnold concern[edit]

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ChrisArnold, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 02:06, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Lucian Hudson[edit]

The article Lucian Hudson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No-notable figure. Has engaged in some endeavors, but lacks multiple reliable sources about the subject.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Thargor Orlando (talk) 19:12, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Lucian Hudson for deletion[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Lucian Hudson is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lucian Hudson until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Thargor Orlando (talk) 21:09, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Paid promotion?[edit]

Your editing history looks like you are creating articles for paid clients. Am I mistaken? Candleabracadabra (talk) 15:23, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there User:Candleabracadabra. I tend to get into Wikiwormholes or similar drags through pages on the Internet and throw up a page when someone I'm looking for isn't there. I have a lot of spare time at home as I'm taking care of a young child. Can you let me know what I should be doing differently in terms of writing? Amsterdad (talk) 17:21, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't answer my question. Are you creating articles for paying clients? Candleabracadabra (talk) 18:42, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As this attack is your first offense, I chose to ignore it as the No Personal Attacks doctrine states, and simply provide you with the reason why I'm here. Of course I don't get paid; I volunteer here just like everyone else. Can I ask you why you've chosen to harass me beyond the AFD for one of my pages?Amsterdad (talk) 21:24, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask someone who is engaged in a pattern of creating highly promotional and poorly sourced articles on subjects of marginal notability whether they are engaged in paid editing. I don't see any personal attack in my comments. But as you appear to be knowingly violating the rules for profit and your behavior is against the community's rules, I think you are the one who owes your fellow editors volunteering here in good faith an apology. I hope you will consider doing right. I have raised my concerns on the WP:ANI page. You're welcome to participate and I look forward to reading further explanation from you. Candleabracadabra (talk) 18:07, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Candleabracadabra, you were wrong to press the question. We have two contradictory rules, 1/ that nobody is allowed to do undisclosed paid editing, and 2/ that nobody need say who they are. At the moment, arb com has held that the 2nd is more important than the first; I think that decision of theirs at least partially wrong, but that's besides the point. Unless they can be convinced otherwise or replaced by those who think otherwise 10 months from now, we must follow it. But we can protect ourselves: Anyone who edits in a manner as if they are a paid editor can be treated as one, whatever the motives for their editing. What this amounts to, is saying that borderline importance promotional articles must be deleted, and if necessary we will block or ban anyone who persists in submitting them after a warning. Amsterdad has been sufficiently warned at this point. DGG ( talk ) 07:13, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rest well; you are missed. ~T P W 14:23, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask ...[edit]

if you are a paid editor? Smallbones_(smalltalk) 15:41, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, Smallbones, you can ask, and I may even answer. Scroll on up my talk page and see that I've been accused of it before for the subjects I chose. And like I said, the answer is no, I volunteer to write about the stuff I want to write about just like everyone else. I'm a SAHD with two small ones, and lots of free time to devote to occasionally on stuff I find as I'm traveling through wiki wormholes. That being said, I got pretty disgusted with the witch hunt when one user (who was later banned for being a sockpuppet anyway) decided to flag everything I'd ever done as a COI, most of which was found to be unwarranted, and many of the rest which I rewrote in order to better accommodate wiki style. My sourcing was always accurate, my writing style wasn't necessarily the best - I unintentionally leaned toward more promotional copy, which I worked on and still work on, and I am by no means the worst offender I've seen. But THAT being said, I really haven't done anything here in almost a year because I got sick of defending it warrantlessly. Amsterdad (talk) 15:51, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Simplilearn[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Simplilearn, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ~ Winged Blades^Godric 08:16, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of TakeLessons[edit]

The article TakeLessons has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Promotional article. Tagged since 2014 for notability. Makes grandiose claims of noteworthiness, but the actual sourcing is a WP:REFBOMB - RSes are passing mentions or doesn't mention the company, sources about the company are churnalism or local boosterism.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
