User talk:Happyshopper

Dear , Welcome to Wikipedia! Unfortunately, using your e-mail address as your username is not a good idea. Wikipedia content is extensively copied and the site itself is one of the most visited sites in the world. Any edit you make on Wikipedia will have your username attached to it, and using your email address will make you a tempting target for spammers. We recommend that you change your username at Changing username in order to prevent abuse. However, if you have very few or no edits, it might just be easier to create a new account. If you need any help, simply contact me on my talk page, or go to Help desk. Another option is to place helpme on your own talk page, and someone will come shortly to help. Remember to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). Again, welcome! --  Merope  Talk to me/Review me 14:12, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Notability of World Headquarters
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on World Headquarters, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because World Headquarters seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting World Headquarters, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.iema.net/iema. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:12, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of King Bee (UK band)


The article King Bee (UK band) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Secondary sources that discuss the subject are apparently non-existent; the cited sources are not suited for demonstrating any sort of notability; the band's only album was self-published, and it remains unclear whether it has gained recognition. The recording of the second album was announced on Wikipedia(!) on 30 November 2017 (cf. Special:Diff/812895040); a second album has since not surfaced. --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 07:41, 5 May 2024 (UTC)"

May 2024
Hello Happyshopper. 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 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 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:Happyshopper. 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. Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 07:44, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
