Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Cuisine of Hawaii. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion.  MrOllie (talk) 12:05, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Highway Inn Hawaiian Food est. 1947


A tag has been placed on Highway Inn Hawaiian Food est. 1947, 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. MrOllie (talk) 12:15, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello Rryanhnl. The nature of your edits 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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:Rryanhnl. 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. MrOllie (talk) 12:15, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Highway Inn page allegations
Mr. Ollie. your allegations are unfounded I am not a paid contributor, I am simply ensuring that the largest and 2nd oldest Hawaiian Food Restaurant in Hawaii is represented when there is an article about Hawaiian Food. The company and one other (Helenas est in 1946) are the two principal places to eat Hawaiian food in Oahu. Why would you have an article about e.g. NFL Football, and not allow references to the teams that practice it, or pages about those teams? Rryanhnl (talk) 01:21, 28 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Do you have some other connection to the restaurant? Over your two years of Wikipedia editing, all of your activity has been to try to add mentions of the place. We don't have articles about every restaurant out there for the same reason that we have an article on Plumbing but not articles on local plumbing companies - Wikipedia is not the yellowpages. - MrOllie (talk) 01:26, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Cuisine of Hawaii
Mr Ollie:

With reference to Cuisine of Hawaii, allow me to illustrate and perhaps you can offer a reason why the restaurants below are chosen as suitable and Highway Inn is not. Please pay particular attention to Maui Tacos which is NOT any where close to being 'distinctive and historic'. Moreover, please explain why the page I wrote was any different from the Kanemitsu Bakery page.

here are also distinctive and historic business operations such as Kanemitsu Bakery, Helena's Hawaiian Food, Common Ground Kauai, Anna Miller's, Nisshodo Candy Store, Maui Tacos and Waiʻoli Tea Room & Bakery at Salvation Army Waiʻoli Tea Room. Roy Yamaguchi's Roy's and various cookbooks promoting Hawaiian regional cuisine have also helped popularize Hawaiian cuisine and Hawaiian fusion cuisine.

 * If you have noticed inappropriate promotion on Wikipedia articles, that is a reason to remove that promotion, not to add more. - MrOllie (talk) 01:37, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Relationship to the restaurant
Yes, my wife is the great grand-daughter of the founder of the business. If there were a yellow pages entry for Hawaiian Food restaurants in Hawaii, there would be less than 10, vs several hundred for plumbers, and that is partially the point. For those practitioners of Hawaiian Cuisine founded by immigrants in 1940s who were interned in WWII just one, and just one for the largest traditional Hawaiian Cuisine provider in the State. These are facts. Not opinions or marketing. I thought Wikipedia wanted facts. Regardless, the fact of my wife being the grand-daughter should not preclude me from trying to improve the content of this corner of Wikipedia. The facts are there. As an example, The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum selected Highway Inn to partner with it to provide food as part of its programming for foods of the Pacific in 2015. Why, because Highway Inn is one of only a few that can. It did not ask Maui Tacos (e.g.) Rryanhnl (talk) 01:53, 28 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Please read WP:COI, as you have a clear cut conflict of interest here. Wikipedia wants facts, but Wikipedia is also not an indiscriminate collection of information and should not be used to promote particular businesses. - MrOllie (talk) 02:01, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
