Orphaned non-free media (File:Movie Poster for "The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey".jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Movie Poster for "The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey".jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:35, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Mikkei/UserTesting, Inc


A tag has been placed on User:Mikkei/UserTesting, Inc, 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.  Spencer T• C 23:02, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Mikkei, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Although sandboxes give a degree of protection, there is no such thing as anon-public space here, and promos and copyright are routinely deleted. I'll remind you of my message above, that if you have a COI, you must declare it. Now, some problems


 * having an awards section is typical of company promos, and it's also typical that several are unsourced and that none appear to be notable enough to be linked to their own Wikipedia articles


 * They "offer" their products, whereas we would say "sell" unless they give them away


 * Number of employees only mentioned in infobox, financials a bit limited apart from investments.

Having said that, it's capable of improvement. I prepared to restore in principle, subject to any input from admin, but I need an answer to the COI query first Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * No additional input or concerns from me other than those you stated above. Thanks for the ping,  Spencer T• C 15:48, 16 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you, both, for taking the time to reply. I truly appreciate it. Jimfbleak, thanks for breaking down your concerns, and I think I grok all of it at this point. Sorry if I seemed obtuse at first.


 * Happy to be super transparent with a potential conflict of interest from last year. My firm did indeed do some consulting work for the company UserTesting in 2019 but I can state definitively that I have not been paid (directly or indirectly) to create a new article for them here. As someone who's long relied on Wikipedia as a source of information, it bugs me when there's a subject which seems notable is absent. I'm sure that's what drives many other editors as well.


 * UserTesting aside, I feel like the process of working with a company makes it pretty clear whether an organization is really notable or not. 98% of companies I've consulted for (marketing) in the past are definitively not notable according to Wikipedia's standards. UserTesting however seems to meet the criteria (which will need to be proven objectively) and I do want to get better about creating quality contributions from the ground up and working with Wikipedia's community to make helpful information publically available.


 * To address your other points of feedback (I know it's not an all-inclusive itemization):


 * I wondered about the awards. I found evidence of many more but most seemed only lightly supported at best. That section only arose because I'd seen it as a fairly typical inclusion in other software companies. Happy to omit.


 * I'm obsessive about wording, so that's great feedback for me. I hope to make the entire article as objective and non-promotional as possible.


 * Point taken on the # of employees and current financials. Since it was my first stab (and maybe 60% complete at that), there are absolutely sentences and sources that I'd planned to consider more carefully.


 * All in all, I'm bummed about my misstep here. I would have taken more time to carefully put something of reviewable quality together before throwing anything into my namespace. I simply wasn't aware that my quick draft could be flagged right away and judged (not unfairly) on its quality.


 * At the end of the day I'm trying to become a better contributor here and as evidenced by my history of article creation (4 out of 6 contributions over the last decade or so didn't make the cut) I still have a ways to go. Thanks for working with me on this.


 * Mikkei (talk) 18:33, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Mikkei, as I said before, now you have clarified that you are not a paid editor, I'm prepared to restore the draft, probably without the awards section. Do you want me to go ahead with that? Jimfbleak - talk to me?  08:33, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Jimfbleak, that would be wonderful (and without the awards section is, I'm sure, for the best). Please do! Mikkei (talk) 13:37, 19 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Restored at Draft:UserTesting (title shouldn't include, Inc, Ltd, Pvt or similar). I made these edits Jimfbleak - talk to me?  14:07, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
