User talk:Sarahinterplay

Welcome!
Hello, Sarahinterplay, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Sarahinterplay/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Sarahinterplay/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Sarahinterplay/sandbox, 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. TornadoLGS (talk) 05:07, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

January 2023
Hello Sarahinterplay. 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:Sarahinterplay. 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. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:36, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Drm310, I don't understand what you mean, I made an account to create a page for the company I work for (Zero Digital Sports) - as there is no wikipedia page for them.
 * If I am missing something, please provide a link, and explain clearly what needs to be done to avoid deletion of the page. Sarahinterplay (talk) 05:39, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Writing about your employer on Wikipedia, whether or not you were paid specifically to do so, makes you a paid editor by Wikipedia's definition. Therefore, disclosure of this fact is required under the paid editing disclosure policy and terms of use. It is also an inherent conflict of interest to write about your employer - in fact, any topic with which you have a personal or professional connection.
 * Please also be aware that a company isn't entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists. All topics on Wikipedia must be notable to merit inclusion. In the particular case of a company, it must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for companies and organizations. For this to happen, the company must have already received significant coverage from multiple reliable and independent sources. We have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:28, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The company does have coverage. https://www.zerodigital.com.au/
 * Bring back my draft and post it live. Sarahinterplay (talk) 22:19, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * What we need is coverage by sources both reliable and independent of the subject matter. Pretty much any company or organization is going to be covered by its own website. As DRM310 says, there is no real interest in what the company has to say about itself. If the only coverage is by the company itself or in paid sponsorship, then it isn't notable.
