Speedy deletion of User:AvdITSoftware/sandbox


The page User:AvdITSoftware/sandbox has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the.

Re:User:AvdITSoftware/sandbox
I have restored the page. Without substantial changes, it is likely that the page will be re-deleted: please review this page. Please additionally note Wikipedia's policies on Conflict of Interest, which I will list below:

Hello, AvdITSoftware. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 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 Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.  Spencer T• C 18:20, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of DisputeSoft


A tag has been placed on DisputeSoft, 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. Praxidicae (talk) 14:25, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

 Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Deb (talk) 14:32, 4 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi. Please don't e-mail to seek help. There is no reason for you to send private messages and most experienced contributors won't respond to e-mail from people they don't know. The process for appealing is described above, and that's what you need to do to get unblocked. After that, you can use the Teahouse to get answers to any queries about procedure. Your biggest mistake was moving the article from Draft to mainspace without getting it reviewed first. Deb (talk) 15:06, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

331dot If I did various edits/contributions in areas unrelated to IT (say, U.S. history, tea, and 18th century British novels), would I then in the future be able to draft another article for DisputeSoft? AvdITSoftware (talk) 17:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not guaranteeing it, but it's possible, if you develop a good edit history showing that you understand Wikipedia guidelines about article content and sourcing. You will need to make another unblock request for someone else to review. 331dot (talk) 21:58, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

AvdITSoftware (talk) 14:34, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Avdreamer, are you willing to have your promise to avoid editing IT topics logged as a formal topic ban, which can be appealed after several months? signed,Rosguill talk 05:43, 10 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Rosguill, would this be beneficial in the long-run? Would an attempt in the future to rebuild my article be analyzed differently if I log this as a formal topic ban? I'm not familiar with the process (other than reading what you referenced above). Thanks. Avdreamer (talk) 20:25, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I think that it would be beneficial, yes. If you were to not accept this condition, I would decline the block request. In theory, you could appeal to another admin, who could take a more charitable view and unblock without formalizing ban conditions, but I personally think that this is unlikely. With the formal topic ban, editing the topics covered by the ban would be met with blocks, and once a substantial amount of time has passed you could appeal, either to me or to the broader community at WP:AN. Without a topic ban there would be no set process either for preventing you from editing affected topics or for going back to editing normally. I requested your consent in this matter so as to provide transparency about what you were signing up for, but I do genuinely believe that it is your best opportunity for returning to editing Wikipedia.  signed,Rosguill talk 20:37, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Rosguill, thanks for the clarification. By all means, go ahead with the formal ban then. Avdreamer (talk) 12:41, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:DisputeSoft
Hello, Avdreamer. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:DisputeSoft, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 20:02, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:DisputeSoft


Hello, Avdreamer. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "DisputeSoft".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 19:48, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
