Speedy deletion nomination of User:Linework/sandbox


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Linework/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 appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:56, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

User:Linework/sandbox


Hello, Linework. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. A page you created 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.

This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are  unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. '''That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. ''' Please see this page on citing sources and Common sourcing mistakes (notability). This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.You can ask for help at WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk and on IRC chat   The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

New article creation can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:09, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:09, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your email.

Since I'm blocked I cannot make any changes so, can you please address me on what should I do in order to have the account unblocked??

Thanks

 * You need to either 'ping' the person you're addressing (see ping), or take some action such as opening an unblock request which automatically puts your talk page on a watch list. Most people wouldn't be watching this page by default.
 * I would also recommend reading Guide to appealing blocks if you haven't yet done so. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:04, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Since I'm blocked I cannot make any changes so, can you please address me on what should I do in order to have the account unblocked?? Can you please tell us the exact part of the article where we violated your policy? Thanks Linework (talk) 14:17, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * We don't want you making any changes; the edits you made while unblocked were inappropriate and so you are blocked to prevent you making such changes in the future. As to the policies, you already know. WP:USERNAME, WP:COI, WP:PROMO. --Yamla (talk) 14:25, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * As described in the block notice, you must change your username and agree to not edit about Linework (as you do not yet know how to not edit promotionally). You must describe what constructive edits you would make. Please follow the instructions in the block notice Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:31, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

First of all I ask you to calm down. I don't like the attitude. I'm just trying to understand what should I do in order to have the account unblocked and the page published. Again, you are not telling me where I m promoting or advertising. A proper customer support addresses clients to solve the issue. You are not doing this. I try to be more clear: Is there any possibility to have my account back??? Thanks!!! Linework (talk) 14:32, 6 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Do you actually read any of the material you're being signposted to, and do you listen to the advice you're being given? Genuine question. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:37, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * First of all, we are not customer support. We are the people who block promotional editors and delete promotional content. Secondly, let me try to make this clear, you will not be unblocked to promote your company. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia It is not the place to write about your company. As Yamla sometimes says, if that is your only purpose here, you will not be unblocked. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:39, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I've told you twice how to be unblocked. Before making any more nasty remarks, please read all of the message you have been left! Please follow all of the links and read that material! I do my best to educate new spammers, but you must read the messages! -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:44, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Deepfriedokra. Thanks for your message. My intention is not to promote the Company, which is not mine. What I m trying to do is to give to people the possibility to know the Company through your service writing an article with all information about it. Can I work on this or is not possible? Thanks. Linework (talk) 14:46, 6 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Interesting you claim no connection as your username is the same as the name of the subject. Again, we are not a service. We are an encyclopedia. Again, as you do not recognize the promotional nature of your edits, you will not be unblocked to write about this subject. Again, you will not be unblocked to write about Linework. Signing off, as I am unable to explain this clearly. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:50, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You say you aren't promoting anything, you just want to use Wikipedia to tell the world about your new business. This is pretty much the definition of promotion, see WP:YESPROMO.
 * Your draft only cited the company's website and one press release as sources. This is completely inappropriate; we are not interested in what the business wants to say about itself, we only want to know what others, entirely unconnected with the business and publishing of their own volition, have said about it. In fact, Wikipedia articles should essentially only summarise such independent and reliable sources. If there are no sources to summarise, then it isn't possible to have an article.
 * In any case, you should not be writing about your business (whether it's one you own, one you work for, or one you're otherwise IRL associated with) yourself, as it will be almost impossible for you to do so in a neutral, non-promotional manner.
 * HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:58, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Okay...so, go ahead and delete the account and all the information as per GDPR data protection since I cannot do this. Linework (talk) 15:02, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
