User talk:SurvivingEconomicAbuse

Welcome!
Hello, SurvivingEconomicAbuse, 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:SurvivingEconomicAbuse/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:SurvivingEconomicAbuse/sandbox


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:SurvivingEconomicAbuse/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 appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:21, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. While user names that are the names of organizations are not permitted, you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Foundation", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you.

That would be an acceptable username. I don't mean to move the goal posts on you, but please review conflict of interest and paid editing and explain how your edits will be consistent with those policies. Wikipedia is not a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves or the good work they do; Wikipedia summarizes only what independent reliable sources have chosen on their own to say about an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Things like "mission" and "vision" are impossible to independently verify and thus have no place in a Wikipedia article. We are interested in what others say about your organization, not what it wants to say about itself. 331dot (talk) 11:21, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have read them and I think I get it. I'm so sorry for breaking the rules! If I include on the talk page will that cover it? Or I can put something into my user page to say I'm employed at Surviving Economic Abuse. I wanted to make a page on Wikipedia to explain what the charity is, but I get now that I need to do that more as someone from outside the organisation rather than it being like a publicity thing.

 * Please place new posts at the bottom for proper discussion flow. I would correct you in that Wikipedia has articles, not mere "pages". "Explaining what the charity is" is considered promotional, you do not have to be soliciting customers or selling something to be promotional here. To be successful in writing a Wikipedia article about your charity, you essentially need to forget everything you know about it and everything the charity website says, and only write based on what independent reliable sources say about your charity with significant coverage, showing how it is notable as I mention above.  Staff interviews, press releases, announcements of routine activities, and other primary sources do not establish notability. Is this something that you think you can do?  In my experience the vast majority of people are unable to do that, but I will give you the chance if you truly think you can do it. 331dot (talk) 11:38, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * A simple statement about your conflict of interest would be sufficient. If you are compensated in any way by the charity(not just money) or even if you are an unpaid intern, you are a paid editor and must declare that per the Terms of Use.  If you are just a volunteer giving your time, it is not considered paid editing(but still a COI). 331dot (talk) 11:41, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

I guess I'll just leave it. :( Sorry. I feel super out of my depth given your responses. Going to go have a cry instead.
