Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, SCA2023. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Sound City (company), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


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

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Uncle Spock (talk) 14:44, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Sound City (company) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Sound City (company), is not suitable 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.

August 2023
As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Draft:Sound City (company), give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:SCA2023, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:21, 30 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Doublegrazing, I do not work for or seek to gain any compensation for my edits about this company. I am just really interested in these amps and the history of them, because the company went away for so long and was revived recently. There's not a ton of information on the subject so the information written was all from the only sources I could find on the internet. SCA2023 (talk) 16:44, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, understood, thanks.
 * Two points:
 * If, as you say, there aren't independent and reliable secondary sources covering this subject, then it almost certainly is not 'notable' in Wikipedia terms, and therefore an article couldn't be created.
 * While you may use some types of non-independent primary sources for limited purposes, you are not allowed to copy and paste them as this violates copyright laws; you need to summarise in your own words what they say.
 * HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:49, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I see, thank you for the feedback that makes more sense regarding the rewriting of some of the content. I believe the sources to be reliable secondary sources but I could try and do additional research to see if there are others I have not yet found. SCA2023 (talk) 16:52, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Sound City (company)


A tag has been placed on Draft:Sound City (company), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://soundcitysite.net/history_3.htm, https://soundcitysite.net/history_2.htm, and https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1831/9191/files/Roots_Radical_Sound_City_3-2018.pdf?5359450206787047083}. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

 * Hi Doublegrazing, if there are specific sections that seem promotional can you please let me know which parts these are so I can try and rewrite them according to your standards. As I said earlier, a lot of what was written was taken from the sources directly, so I'm not sure if that is an issue? Also, I do not see how there is any copyright infringement since I quoted and cited any writing that was taken directly from the websites/sources. If you could please explain further the reason for the deletion that would be greatly appreciated. SCA2023 (talk) 16:48, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Doublegrazing, this is in response to the information you gave above. I now have a better understanding of the issues you found with what was written. That being said, since I am planning to rewrite a lot of it could it be moved back to the draftspace so I don't have to start from scratch? SCA2023 (talk) 16:55, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
