Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (September 20)[edit]

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

This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, DeskProto, which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:DpProxyMan/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hi DoubleGrazing,

There is no duplicate here - the original has been abandoned. I have taken over with a new submission. There is no COI here - I am retired, live in Canada and my hobby is CNC based. I have been a user of DeskProto for many years. I am not being compensated in any way for submitting this wiki article. How to go about voiding the initial submission so that my article can at least be reviewed? Please advise. DpProxyMan (talk) 21:02, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, DpProxyMan! 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! DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:04, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, DpProxyMan. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page User:DpProxyMan/sandbox, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Spicy (talk) 18:06, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Spicy,

Just to let you know that I am and have been a user of DeskProto for many years. I am not being rewarded / compensated in any way for attempting to create this wiki page. I am retired and live in Canada - CNC being my hobby - that's it - that's all - NO COI here. Should you require further info please let me know.

Moving articles subject to a deletion discussion[edit]

Please do not move articles under deletion discussion to new titles. All that achieves is work for others. Assuming the article is kept then it can be moved. If it is deleted then any moves made are irrelevant. I have returned it to its original title, and annotated the deletion discussion accordingly 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 22:47, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

September 2022[edit]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to User:Timtrent/cv, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:32, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you made a mistake - after all it is your page Dude. DpProxyMan (talk) 11:55, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The page may be in my user space, but everything here is licenced in the same manner. Your behaviour was disruptive in that it caused two other editors to revert your edits, and discourteous. If you have something to say to me you may say it courteously and directly.

If you wish to challenge my opinion that the draft you moved twice to mainspace please do so at the deletion discussion. Note that this is a policy based discussion. Emotional defences are almost always disregarded. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:50, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We are all entitled to our opinion - right Dude? DpProxyMan (talk) 17:59, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Feel at liberty to express yours courteously and well. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:31, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for treating Wikipedia as a battleground. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 07:42, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Between your obviously retaliatory CSDing of Timtrent's user subpage, your hostile tone when called out for that, and now your "STFU" to Uhai, it's clear that you're treating Wikipedia as a battleground, not a collaborative workspace. Hopefully this will give you some time to reässess how you contribute here, and frankly whether you want to contribute here, as continued editing of this nature will lead to an indefinite block in short order. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 07:45, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

November 2022[edit]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a reliable source, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Politanvm ^talk 16:25, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My comment regarding donating to an unreliable source is well justified and is inline with the overall context of this article. This may upset you but that is unavoidable in a free for all editing environment. You may disagree and dislike my statement but that does not make it untrue. Hence I may in future restore my earlier statement as I do consider it to be both relevant and constructive. DpProxyMan (talk) 20:25, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Don't do that. There is clearly no consensus for that change. You've already been blocked once for battleground editing, let's not do that again. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:15, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Expressing an opinion - if you object - I say to you - don't do that. 173.177.32.28 (talk) 02:12, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
