Your user page may be in violation of WP:FAKEARTICLE, and Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion
Hi, I see that your User page looks like a Wikipedia article for a PR/marketing company. You should know that this is generally not allowed by Wikipedia. Please read WP:UPNOT, and specifically the part about WP:FAKEARTICLE. You should not have as your user page something that looks like a Wikipedia article. User pages that violate WP:FAKEARTICLE are subject to deletion. Also you need to be be aware that Wikipedia is not for promotion or advertising. I see that you have made this edit to Street King (Energy Shot) and this edit to Skullcandy with content relevant to social promotion and advertising campaigns. The edits in and of themselves are not problematic, although they do not provide reliable sources. But given your User page, I think it's warranted to tell you that you need to be careful not to use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. Thank you. 20:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello! Sorry about this, I wasnt trying to use the userpage as a page. I am trying to learn how to use wikipedia and thought I could use my user page as a place to test edits/creating content out. Is there another place I should be testing out creating/editing a page without actually editing wikipedia pages? 20:29, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes a better way would be to edit a sandbox page, for example, use this link: User:Block.geoffrey/CrowdTwist.  Once you are done developing it you can move it to the main page space, but keep in mind that articles need sufficient sourcing to demonstrate they meet Wikipedia's notability requirements, and other editors will be reviewing any new articles.    20:31, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I'm currently building a page for a company on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Block.geoffrey/CrowdTwist Should I have waited to upload the photo until the entire page is complete? There are still lots of edits to do on the page, but I just thought I could add the photo. Block.geoffrey (talk) 14:27, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Northamerica1000(talk) 21:37, 10 July 2012 (UTC) Symbol opinion vote.svg Comment: This submission needs sources that are comprised of significant coverage about the topic from third-party reliable sources. Sources currently in the submission are primarily primary sources and from company blogs that do not appear to meet Wikipedia's guidelines for reliable sources. Some of the sources are from companies rather than news sources, and those companies may be affiliated with CrowdTwist. Another problem is that some of the sources in the submission don't even mention the company –  Examples:, . Conversely, this article from Venturebeat.com appears to meet Wikipedia's guidelines regarding source reliability , per their "About Us" page located here, although other editors may possibly disagree. Please feel free to add more reliable sources that provide significant coverage of the topic. See also WP:N, Wikipedia's guideline page regarding topic notability for more information.
