Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Enterprise Rent-A-Car, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Michael Greiner 05:32, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the heads up, Michael! I'll be sure to read into the style manual in the near future.

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Graeme Bartlett, and I thank you for your contributions.

Speedy deletion nomination of Take Five Hard Seltzer


A tag has been placed on Take Five Hard Seltzer, 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.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:30, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Request to Unblock UncommonJane
{{unblock reviewed|reason=To the Wikipedia community of editors and administrators:

I'd like to submit a second request asking for review of my account and activity. All of my edits within Wikipedia have been made with good, fair, and honest faith. I feel that I've been wrongfully accused of receiving monetary compensation for my contributions. It's been brought to my attention that my edits are consistent (which is what I thought editors were supposed to do?) in style, but I've been denied explanation of exactly how my edits go against guidelines. It seems like this is the reason I was accused of writing in a promotional way, and dins blocked, but I truly want to understand where I am wrong so I can be a better writer.

Please review the conversations on my talk page pertaining to my first request. I am being as honest as I can be stating that I have not received any sort of incentive or compensation, or have a direct relation to any of the pages I've tried to improve.

Unblock UncommonJane
There are certain clues with your edits that suggest paid editing. How did you come to edit about the topics you did? It doesn't seem like it would have been by chance. 331dot (talk) 22:26, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Well, I used to work in the technology and software industry in Chicago and then Southwestern Florida, so that remains to be an interest of mine. I also travel quite a bit and learn about new companies, products, and people along the way. But I mostly stumble upon pages needing edits or reviews by clicking around and following linked articles within other articles. Would you mind giving me examples of tendencies my edits have shows that suggest paid editing? I certainly want to avoid this from happening again.

That's very disappointing to hear from you. I know one of Wikipedia's core values is to make edits with good faith, and that is truly what I have been doing. It's disappointing that you can't honor my honesty, willingness to learn, and continue to contribute to the community. All of my contributions have been honest, without receiving money in exchange for such. I'd like for you to again reconsider unblocking my account. I've worked hard on it over the years, and perhaps one thing I can do is go back to the basics and brush up on fundamentals to make sure I'm on track. I would greatly appreciate if you would reconsider.

To Wikipedia administrators and fellow editors:

I'd like to request reconsideration for my account, UncommonJane, to have its block lifted. I've worked har don building this account with good and fair interest for all Wikipedia pages and topics. I'm not sure why the user 331dot assumes my contributions have been paid edits, but I assure you that is not the case. I have not received compensation of any kind, have no stake in brands/topics I've contributed towards, and have no direct affiliation.

I would really like the block to be lifted so I can continue to learn the best editing skills and contribute towards making Wikipedia a factual, honest resource for all.
