Welcome!

Hello, Erikamehiel, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Voyage.tv, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Proposed deletion of Voyage.tv edit

 

The article Voyage.tv has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:ORG

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 13:46, 1 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, thanks for your message. I would like to understand more about the citations so that I can update them to be more in line with what Wiki requires. I also have drafted new copy which is more neutral in tone. Can you let me know which of these qualify and which do not? Thank you CityGirl1978 16:31, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:William Siff 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:William Siff, 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.

September 2023 edit

 

Hello Erikamehiel. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, 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:Erikamehiel. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Erikamehiel|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Seraphimblade Talk to me 05:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi there,
I am not being paid to create this article, however I do know the subject and have offered to help. I have rewritten the copy to be neutral in tone, but I can't figure out how to disclose our relationship on my user page. The instructions say to paste
 This user has publicly declared that they have a conflict of interest regarding the Wikipedia article Title of your draft.
on my user page but as a replacement for a title, and I don't see that field. I would like to comply, I just can't figure out how. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks CityGirl1978 16:33, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
