Speedy deletion nomination of User:MedicalMommy/sandbox


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:MedicalMommy/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. VViking Talk Edits 13:26, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline
Hello, MedicalMommy. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:06, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Copyright
It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:07, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Promotional editing
I see that at User talk:MedicalMommy/sandbox you wrote "This page is not unambiguously promotional", and went on to give your reason, which was essentially that you think the subject you wrote about deserved to be better known. That is not, however, a reason why the page was not promotional: writing in order to publicise something and make it better known is writing for a promotional purpose. However, there was another way in which the page was unambiguously promotional. What you wrote was not written as though in order to simply inform readers of the existence of the object it was about. It was unambiguously written to promote the subject in the sense of extolling it, and giving readers the clear impression that it is a good thing. A Wikipedia article should be written from a neutral point of view, and writing which is designed to convey a particular view of its subject, whether good or bad, is unsuitable.
