User talk:محمود الأمير

Welcome!
Hello, محمود الأمير, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations

 * Contributing to Wikipedia

 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! IamNotU (talk) 17:02, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

I noticed that you attempted to take over the article Mahmoud Alamir, which is an article about another person, and replace it with one about yourself. This has been reverted for several reasons. In general it's against the guidelines to write an article about yourself. It's also not allowed to take over an article that way, see WP:AHIJACK. Furthermore, in order for a biographical article to be accepted, the person must meet the notablity requirements, for example, Notability (academics), which you don't appear to meet.

You're allowed to have a small amount of content about yourself as a Wikipedia editor on your user page, as you do now. However, I've removed the copy of that self-promotional article that you placed on this talk page because it violates several provisions of WP:UPNOT, including WP:UP/WP:USERBIO, WP:UP, and WP:COPYARTICLE.

I also noticed that you added a link to it, and a citation of a paper, to another article in this edit:. I've also reverted that. Please see the following sections of the Conflict of Interest guidelines: WP:SELFPROMOTE and WP:SELFCITE.

In general you should know that Wikipedia is not like "LinkedIn"; it's not a place to promote yourself or your work. If on the other hand, you would like to make contributions to areas in which you don't have a conflict of interest, you're welcome to do so! Thanks for your understanding. --IamNotU (talk) 17:37, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Request for possible deletion of older revisions of Mahmoud Alamir
I have asked an administrator to either delete (under criteria G11), revision-delete (under criteria 5), or "split off" the edits you made to Mahmoud Alamir to a new draft article, Draft:Mahmoud Alamir (academic) (if the link is red, the page does not exist yet, if it is blue, it has been created and likely contains the edits you made).

IF the administrator determines that deletion or revision deletion is appropriate, the text you added will no longer be accessible except to Wikipedia administrators. Please do not restore it anywhere else in the English Wikipedia.

However, if the administrator believes that the criteria to "speedy delete" the page are NOT met, then he will move those revisions, and only those revisions, to the draft page mentioned above. Please let the administrator make the decision. Please do not attempt to start that page or put the content that you previously put on Mahmoud Alamir in any other place in Wikipedia while waiting for an administrator to make a decision.

Note that if the administrator DOES move the content to a new page, it will not be accepted into the main encyclopedia until or unless that person, which based on your user page is you, meets Wikipedia's stringent notability guidelines, found at WP:Notability, WP:Notability (people), and WP:Notability (academics). davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  18:27, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The revisions you created are deleted from public view. Draft:Mahmoud Alamir (academic) is a new page created by you.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  21:37, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Mahmoud Alamir (academic)


A tag has been placed on Draft:Mahmoud Alamir (academic), 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 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. --IamNotU (talk) 22:12, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
