Triad Transformers
Could you please truthly explain:


 * 1) Are you employed or have you been paid by Triad for creation of the article
 * 2) Why did you move the article to mainspace without having it approved via Articles for Creation (and the answer 'Because I could' is not acceptable
 * 3) Why is the whole article written like an advert?

 * I have moved the page back to draft space. Draft:Triad Transformers. It should have been submitted for review first. You were too hasty in moving it to main space. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:34, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello Anachronist and Rich T&#124;C&#124;E-Mail,

Thank you for reaching out to me. For the past 3 months I've been busy at school and have just come back for summer break. I decided to hop on Wiki just to see what's up and got bombarded by all of these comments.

Firstly, I'd like to say that I was not paid by the Triad company. As I mentioned, I am a hobbyist and am decently interested in old amps, but was also curious about the process of research and development of a Wikipedia page. I did this simply on my free time and with no (apparent) expertise.

As it has been said, the page was not made well and I guess I see that now, but this was my first time creating a page. I felt that I had made it in such a way that I was showing the parts of the Triad Transformer that make it significant, like the origin of the brand, the transfers of production of the parts, and the more important electronics that they were installed in. However, now I see that it does seem a bit sales pitchy, and with help I would like to correct that.

Finally, I decided to move it to the main space because I had to start school again. I was waiting for the draft to be corrected so I could edit it, and believe I waited several months, but when I went back to school I realized that the page would likely either die, as I wouldn't have time to update it, or be published anyway. I decided I would take what I thought was the better route, and just move it to the main space so that I would not have to worry about it anymore. I realize now that that was a mistake.

I would like to say that I aim to help fix this page, though as many said I may not be able due to my work evidently being "dreadful". I am sorry and I appreciate your understanding. 22:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Last thing, I would like to be able to post this message on the old thread in the Teahouse, but am unclear as to how I should do this. I don't think I am able to respond on the past thread and don't know if the new thread will reach the people that responded in the past. Thank you for your help.

Paid editing
As previously advised, your edits 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:UCLABruin03, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 08:06, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
