Hello, I'm C.Fred. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Oyster Yachts have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 11:45, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Oyster 495


A tag has been placed on Draft:Oyster 495, 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. – 64andtim  ( talk ) 10:56, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Hello,
 * Could you please share some advice and guidance on why the Draft Oyster 495 page has been rejected. I am new to creating pages but have taken the time to read many articles on how to create an article and what to include.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks James.markwell (talk) 10:34, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello James.markwell. 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:James.markwell. 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. ''This is regarding Oyster yachts. --'' DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:44, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Hello,
 * I believe i have now completed/declared what is required for COI editing.
 * If not, can you please let me know what else is required?
 * Thanks
 * Matt James.markwell (talk) 11:26, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Please confirm if i can now supply an updated edit, taking on board your recent feedback? Thanks James.markwell (talk) 13:42, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @DoubleGrazing sorry forgot to tag you in the above messages so not sure if you receive them if not tagged. James.markwell (talk) 15:48, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for disclosing your COI. This is the generic disclosure; if you are employed by Oyster, you should replace that with the more specific paid-editing one, see WP:PAID.
 * And yes, having made the disclosure you are welcome to continue editing. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @DoubleGrazing, have you had time to review the latest submission from last week? Thanks James.markwell (talk) 09:17, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No, and I won't, unless and until you resubmit it. Even then it will be more likely that another reviewer will assess it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:42, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @DoubleGrazing sorry, i thought i had submitted it. Will look to do it again now. James.markwell (talk) 11:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
