Welcome!
Hello, Erezagj2023, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:GjirafaTravel, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion of Draft:GjirafaTravel


The page Draft:GjirafaTravel 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. 331dot (talk) 11:02, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

October 2023
Hello Erezagj2023. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Erezagj2023. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 331dot (talk) 11:03, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

I must also ask if your company wants to make its logo available for use by anyone for any purpose with attribution. I wouldn't if it was my company, but it's up to your company. Logos are typically uploaded under "fair use" rules and as such cannot be on Commons(they must be uploaded to this Wikipedia directly) and also cannot be in drafts. 331dot (talk) 11:08, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I am not being compensated for my edits. I just decided to publish a page for the company as it is one of the larger ones in the region. Is that a mistake? Erezagj2023 (talk) 11:15, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Do you work for this company? 331dot (talk) 11:16, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do Erezagj2023 (talk) 11:20, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * That is considered paid editing and you are required by the Terms of Use to make the paid editing disclosure as described above. This is mandatory. You should also read conflict of interest.
 * As I suggest above, you improperly uploaded the logo to Commons. You must either demonstrate that the company has authorized the release of its logo for use by anyone for any purpose with attribution(not a good idea, I think, but it's up to your company) as the company website claims copyright, or you must immediately request the deletion of the logo from Commons and upload it to this Wikipedia directly(see Files For Upload as you can't do it yourself yet) under "fair use" rules.  Fair use does carry some restrictions, like being unable to be used in drafts.  Images are not relevant to the draft approval process anyway, which only considers the text and sources.
 * To write about your company, you must set aside everything you know about it and all materials it puts out(this includes things like interviews and annoucements of its activities) and only summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. See Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 11:29, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, so where do I add that part about the Terms of Use? In the article?
 * As for the files, how can I delete it from Commons? I will upload it in the other domain.
 * Can your review the article? I tried to be as impartial as possible and I tried to use reputable sources Erezagj2023 (talk) 11:36, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * You place the disclosure on your user page, User:Erezagj2023(there should also be a link to it at the top of the screen, it may be in a drop down menu). Please follow the instructions above carefully.
 * If you go to the image page on Commons, there is a nominate for deletion link on the screen(probably on the left depending on how it appears to you); in the nomination explain that you uploaded the logo improperly.
 * The draft has been deleted because it was blatantly promotional. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about a company and what it does. As I say above, Wikipedia is primarily interested in what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company.  This does not include announcements of its activities or business transactions, staff interviews, press releases, brief mentions, or the like. The vast majority of companies do not merit articles.
 * We usually recommend that new users not dive right in to creating articles(the most difficult task on Wikipedia even without a conflict of interest), instead first gaining experience and knowledge by editing existing articles as well as using the new user tutorial. If you really want to pursue this further, please use the Article Wizard to create and submit a draft. 331dot (talk) 11:53, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I would lastly suggest that you read WP:BOSS, even if you are doing this on your own, as it may clarify some points for you. 331dot (talk) 11:54, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I added the paid status on my page Erezagj2023 (talk) 12:24, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I would highly suggest you review the content of the links that I have provided before proceeding. 331dot (talk) 13:22, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
