Welcome, HKSGGP!


Welcome to Wikipedia, HKSGGP! I'm GoldRomean, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:HKSGGP/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:HKSGGP/sandbox, 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. Nobody ( talk ) 12:50, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

There is another issue I have seen, in that you claim that you personally created the logo of AR Pay. If so, that's fine, but by uploading it to Commons you have made it available for anyone(including competitors) to use for any purpose with attribution, something the company may not want to do, as by doing so someone else could take, use, and sell the logo and the company would not be entitled to any money from the sale of its own logo. If you did not create the logo, or do not want to make it available in such a way, you need to immediately go to Commons and request its deletion. Commons only hosts "free" images where the copyright permits reuse for any purpose by anyone with attribution. Logos are typically uploaded to this Wikipedia directly and used under "fair use" rules.

The underlying point here too is that you seem to be associated with this company, if so the Terms of Use require that to be declared, see WP:PAID(which includes employment in any capacity) as well as WP:COI. 331dot (talk) 07:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @331dot Since AR Pay is owned by the HKS Global Group (which is the current username) it's really a obvious PAY/COI issue. Nobody  ( talk ) 07:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I suspected a connection due to the logo but wasn't clear on what they acronym meant. I've decided to harden this block to prevent account creation and IP editing. 331dot (talk) 07:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of AR-Pay
Hello HKSGGP,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged AR-Pay for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

I've merged your requests, you don't need separate requests for your username and the block. 331dot (talk) 12:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

You shouldn't be creating any other accounts, attempting to use another account is block evasion. You personally are blocked, not just your account, you may not edit under any account or IP until this block is removed. Please respond to my comments I made higher up this page. 331dot (talk) 12:31, 30 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Alright, I understand but creating a another account was an option from the source above as it written "''Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy." However, I'd love to use this account rather than any other as it's my personal account.
 * What can I do to get unblocked? HKSGGP (talk) 13:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was unclear- I changed the block upon seeing your edits and that you seem to have a connection with the topic. The block now prevents account creation. Please see my earlier comments above. 331dot (talk) 16:32, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the explanation. What do I need to do to get unblocked? HKSGGP (talk) 08:45, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * What is your relationship with AR Pay, and did you personally create its logo as you claim in the image? 331dot (talk) 08:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm a casual customer on their website and I found they don’t have a wikipedia page, so I decided to contribute with an article as this is a popular website. Although this was my first article on wikipedia, I had no clue what I had to do and I made several mistakes in the process of publishing this article. The biggest one was that I misunderstood some of the regulations about writing promotional content. My purpose wasn’t to promote the company but to publish accurate encyclopedic information such as overview, purpose and other details. However, that helped me to understand how to improve and correct my mistakes and make more like encyclopedic changes such as adding a History section. As I mentioned above, I write sometimes in blogs, so I wrote the article about this company and wanted to simply publish it on Wikipedia as I thought that I’d contribute with new information. The logo was found on Google, as I wanted to represent it in the article, unfortunately, I chose the selections poorly as I haven’t read any of them. Overall, I’d like to excuse myself for the beginner mistakes I made and would love to receive a second chance to upgrade myself and contribute to the Wikipedia community.

 * Regarding the logo, you can't just use any random images you find on the internet here. Logos generally may not be uploaded to Commons, as by doing so you made it available for anyone to use for any purpose with attribution(such as competitors of the company). If you are casual customer as you claim, you don't have the authority to do that, so you must go to Commons and immediately(as in right now, this moment) request deletion of the logo.  Logos are typically uploaded to this Wikipedia locally under "fair use" rules, which does carry some restrictions(such as being unable to be used in drafts) but does allow limited use in articles.
 * Wikipedia doesn't merely want to know overview, purpose, etc. as the company sees it- nor its history as the company sees it. That's considered promotional on Wikipedia, you don't have to be soliciting customers or selling something. Wikipedia articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about a topic, showing how it meets notability as Wikipedia uses the word, such as a notable company.  Not every company merits an article.
 * I digress somewhat; I might- emphasis on might- have bought your explanation had your username been "AR Pay", but your username is an abbreviated form of the parent company's name. Since I think you are attempting to deceive us, I won't remove the block. If you can convince another admin to, they may do so without consulting me. 331dot (talk) 14:05, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
