June 2020
Hello RobertME. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:BrandShelter, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:RobertME. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message.  Passenger pigeon  ( talk )  07:36, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:BrandShelter


A tag has been placed on Draft:BrandShelter, 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. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:23, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

BrandShelter moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, BrandShelter, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

PAID editing and COI
Hi - you have a paid contributor declaration on your userpage, so I assume you have read through the pages I've linked to above already, but you seem to have misunderstood what is expected of you. You should use the AfC process, rather than publishing an article about this subject directly. I'll not that the article, as it is currently written, will not be accepted in its current form, since it is devoid of any sources other than the subject's own web content. Next on your reading list after the two articles above is WP:NCORP, which describes the means by which we establish notability of companies. If you can find the multiple, independent, secondary and reliable sources that are called for by NCORP, restructure the article so that it is based around those sources and the promotional language is excised, reference the sources in the article, and then submit it for review at AfC. If you attempt to publish it again in mainspace it will likely be permanently deleted, and your account may be blocked from editing. Thank you Girth Summit  (blether)  13:08, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback
Hi everyone, we appreciate your feedback. We will rework the page and hope it will match your expectations and be inline with Wikipedia's Terms of Use. As we are still new and unfamiliar with creating Wikipedia articles, we apologize for mistakes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobertME (talk • contribs)

Shared use?
Hi - on your userpage, and on various other locations, you are referring to yourself as 'we' and 'us' - plurals. Please review WP:NOSHARING and WP:ROLE - accounts must not be shared by individuals, only one person should ever edit from a single account. It's fine for multiple people from one organisation to edit the same page, provided their usernames comply with WP:UPOL, and they all make the necessary declarations per COI and PAID - what must not happen is for more than one single individual to edit from a single account. Please do one of the following things: Thanks for your attention to this matter. Please reply to this concern before performing any further edits on your draft article. Best Girth Summit  (blether)  15:19, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Confirm that only one person has ever edited from this account, and reword your user page to make that clear by referring to yourself in the singular.
 * Confirm that multiple people have edited from this account, in which case I will block it, and each of you can create new accounts.

No shared use
Hi - only a single person is editing this page. The use of 'we' is just because I am talking in the name of the company. Sorry for any confusion! User:RobertME 08:48, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
