Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Bucked Up


A tag has been placed on Draft:Bucked Up, 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. Uhai (talk) 05:18, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello Jakeheaps. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Bucked Up, 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:Jakeheaps. 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. Uhai (talk) 05:18, 8 April 2023 (UTC)


 * For clarity's sake, a block applies to a person, not just an account. While your original account remains blocked, you may not edit Wikipedia under any account or anonymously. If you want to continue editing, you will need to successfully request that the original account be unblocked. Seraphimblade Talk to me 05:33, 8 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Your unblock request was enclosed in "nowiki" tags, so it would not have showed up. I've fixed it. That said, you are citing a failed proposal. The actual rules on paid editing are found here. Interns receive compensation in the form of experience and networking, so they are compensated editors and are required to disclose as such. If unblocked, that would apply to you, so you would be required to follow all paid editing requirements, including those applying to editors with any conflict of interest. Does that clarify things? If your intent is to try to lawyer your way around things like that, I'm certainly not going to be at all interested in unblocking you. Seraphimblade Talk to me 03:18, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
