Welcome! edit

Hello, AndrianSogocio, 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 Draft:Baruch Gartner, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  DGG ( talk ) 09:51, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Baruch Gartner edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Baruch Gartner, 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 Wikipedia: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 deleting administrator. DGG ( talk ) 09:51, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

COI edit

Thanks for message. You are correct that drafts are intended to be a means of gaining feedback, but they are not immune from deletion if they are blatant breaches of our policies regarding, in particular, promotion or copyright violation.

You have an obvious conflict of interest that you must declare, please don't write about yourself, your friends, relatives or spiritual leaders or anyone who is paying you to do so.

I can't see that you are blocked from editing, since you have posted here. Have you used another account previously? In any case, hiring a paid writer is a really bad idea. If you write directly or indirectly for a person or an organisation, or otherwise are acting on their behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the person or organisation you are writing about, 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:AndrianSogocio. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=AndrianSogocio|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. That applies to you if you work for the rabbi or his organisation, and to any paid editor.

Also read the following regarding writing an article

  • you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that he meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Your references included his own books, some way from being an independent source, I think.
  • you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. This is anything but. One example: Living Aligned[7] provides the reader with the tools needed to live with greater vitality, connection, and joy[8]... described in language that you can understand and are organized into an accessible system that you can engage today... Whether you are already familiar with the riches of this tradition or are a complete newcomer, Living Aligned has a fresh approach that will help you move away from unproductive and unhealthy patterns and start out on the road to a life of compassion and connection. —All that's missing from this blatant promo is Buy this book now!. The rest of it is similar, a blend of hagiograpghy and spam for his book.
  • there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. You mustn't link to YouTube or social media anywhere
  • you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

There is nothing in this blatant spam worth keeping, I'm not going to restore.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:07, 4 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

I also notice now that that the image you used was a copyright violation of a page marked as copyright FaceBook 2019, clearly not free to release here Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:01, 4 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
