User talk:Sarinashoe

 Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  16:54, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

You wrote in the draft "Each restaurant interior is unique combining the simple, earthy, cosy and homely atmosphere that our founder experienced on his travels"(my emphasis). So either you copied that text inappropriately from somewhere else(though that line is not cited) or you work for the restaurant. Which is it? 331dot (talk) 09:44, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

I wanted to create the page as correctly as possible and asked for a couple of press releases from the business to have real info. I did some copy/paste and this must've slipped, apologies.
 * Since you are in communication with the restaurant about this draft, you have a conflict of interest. It's also problematic that you copied the content from press releases, for several reasons but the most important one is WP:COPYVIO. Wikipedia is not interested in how a restaurant(or any business) describes itself, only in how independent reliable sources describe it.  Are there any other topics that you want to write about other than this restaurant? It's doubtful that you will be unblocked to further write about the restaurant at this time. 331dot (talk) 09:55, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

I totally understand, should've taken more time reading the guidelines and regulations. They're a local restaurant I really wanted to support in this hard time; doesn't exclude the fact that I might be writing about others. So, if I'm unblocked I cannot re-write about this restaurant even if I have now understood what's allowed and what not? Apologies for the nuisance, I am a Wikipedia-newbie and clearly haven't informed myself enough.
 * It would not be a permanent prohibition, but you will need to show us with your other edits that you can make contributions that abide by guidelines first, by building up a good edit history. This is why I asked if there are other topics that you want to edit about. 331dot (talk) 10:02, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Ah ok got it, thank you 331dot.I sure would like to make more contributions to already existing articles - ideally revolving around my origins and culture (Italy, Italian food) and my background - Psychology and Modern Languages. As of now, though, I cannot think of any other small business I'd like to go the extra mile and support by creating a Wiki page for. Could I maybe create a bio page of a professional that inspires me, like a photographer or a journalist?

PS. I worked as a translator in the past, so if you'd like me to translate IT-ENG articles, that'd be my pleasure!
 * It's better to think of the pages here as articles; "page" has a broader meaning. It doesn't necessarily support a business, and is not necessarily good for people, to have a Wikipedia article about them, there are good reasons to not want a Wikipedia article.  It's a double edged sword; yes, you can tell the world about the good things they do, but people can also tell about the "bad" things they do. A Wikipedia article summarizes what independent reliable sources state with significant coverage, be it good or bad, showing how the special Wikipedia definition of notability is met(that is WP:BIO for people and WP:ORG for organizations).  I think it would help you greatly if you used the new user tutorial, read Your First Article, and first spent time editing existing article first, before attempting to create a new one. Creating a new article is the hardest thing to do on Wikipedia, and those who dive right in often end up with frustration and guilt, and I don't want to see that happen here. Would you agree to do those things before attempting to create a new article again? 331dot (talk) 10:18, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Sure - thank you for the piece of advice! Will surely do that! Thanks.

Is this conversation going to be saved here? I'd be great for me to refer back to this and use your links and words directly.
 * Yes, it may stay here as long as you wish it to. 331dot (talk) 10:42, 4 February 2021 (UTC)


 * 331dot happy to leave this in your capable hands, I'll post a welcome after this to give some guidance Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  13:22, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Emilia&#39;s Crafted Pasta, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created 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.
