User talk:Macedon Enterprises

Welcome!
Hello, Macedon Enterprises, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Macedon Enterprises/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Macedon Enterprises/sandbox


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Macedon Enterprises/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. Uhai (talk) 23:26, 19 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, my name is Eric, the founder of Macedon Enterprises, i was wondering how you're supposed to make a Wikipedia page for a company if you cant enter the information that is describing it. What guidelines did we break exactly when our page was created? Also we didn't submit it for review, and we left a note saying we wherent done with the ediding. We would like have a copy of the page that we wrote or if possible access ho the same sandbox so we can fix whatever guidelines/ policy we violated.
 * Best regards Eric. Macedon Enterprises (talk) 10:24, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia does not have "pages for" companies, it has articles about companies. They are not for the benefit of the company in any way(there may be benefits, but those are not our goal here) and are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the subject. Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves and what they do- that is considered promotional here, you don't have to be soliciting customers or selling something. This is not a database of companies, this is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion.  An article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company.  Wikipedia is not interested in what a company says about itself, only in what others unconnected with the company choose to say about what they see as important/significant/influential about the company.
 * All edits to every type of page(articles, policy pages, talk pages, etc) appear in the Recent Changes feed. Sandboxes are not private and are not immune from Wikipedia processes like deletion.
 * You say "we"- this account should be only operated by a single person who gives no one else access. To be unblocked, please follow the instructions below, placing your request at the bottom of this page. 331dot (talk) 10:31, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You say Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves and what they do- and that it would be considered "promotional".
 * There are millions of companies on Wikipedia, for example; Spacex – Wikipedia, the pages or "articles" contain information about what the company does, how its operated, location, founding members etc. So i guess you have to take down SpaceX from Wikipedia.
 * I see no difference in the articles that other organizations have published compared to the one we where editing. When i say "we" i ment me and my secretary, (we didn't recon it was against any policies to look at the same screen).
 * You say Wikipedia is not interested in what a company has to say about itself, so do we have to hire someone else to write about us like most of the other companies on wikipedia have done or can we create an article by ourselves with trustworthy sources? In this case i dont see the difference by writing something yourself or paying someone else to write the exact same thing,for you however, e can hire someone if that aligns with the policy.

 * Of course anyone can look at your screen, but when you say "we" it is usually intepreted as multiple people having access to the login information for this account. If only you do, no problem.
 * I think that you misunderstand Wikipedia. Companies do not "have articles" here, in that they do not own and control their content exclusively. Yes, it is likely that many of the millions of articles aobut companies are inappropriate, and simply not addressed yet. This cannot justify the addition of more inappropriate articles. Companies do not write the articles about themselves, at least not without declaring it per WP:PAID and not without community review.  If you have evidence that SpaceX employees have written the article about their company and have not disclosed that they are employees, please provide your evidence(without outing users).
 * Hiring someone only transfers the conflict of interest to them. See WP:COI.  Articles are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnnected with the topic, who take note of coverage of a topic in independent sources and choose to write about it. 331dot (talk) 10:39, 21 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. Alexf(talk) 00:07, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
