User talk:NikStock23

Welcome!
Hello, NikStock23, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Starcount, which 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * 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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Blythwood (talk) 17:07, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I notice that most of your edits are on the subject of the company Starcount. If you have some connection with them, for example that you're an employee or contractor for them, you need to immediately file a disclosure explaining any conflict of interest to ensure transparency. That's a link on how to do it and here's an example of what a disclosure looks like. Above is added an automated message about this. Please let me know if you have any questions, hope this is helpful to you. Blythwood (talk) 17:09, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Starcount


The article Starcount has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Promotional article, substantially written by SPAs who also worked on the recently-AFDed promotional piece Purple Seven. References not good at all - too many primary, user-generated or sponsored content site sources, RSes are very minor indeed. GNews coverage is substantially promotional churnalism placed by Starcount.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
