Your submission at Articles for creation
editI noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Zahra Al-Harazi. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.
Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, or website etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.
Here's an example of how to add references:
He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>
== References ==
{{reflist}}
That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.
Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat channel at #wikipedia-en-help connect.

editI realise that your current article development here is in the draft phases using our Articles for Creation system but I think that you need to be made aware that your username is not acceptable according to our policies because users are not permitted to assume a name that appears to represent a group. You should also take account of our attitude regarding conflicts of interest and - probably - a read of how things work regarding promotional material would be beneficial. Best wishes. - Sitush (talk) 09:53, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

editWhy can't I edit Wikipedia?
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
- What can I do now?
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}
on your user talk page. - Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
- Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
{{unblock|Your reason here}}

Hello! FoundryComs,
I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you'd like to drop by the Teahouse and discuss the article, the experienced hosts at the Teahouse would be glad to see if they can offer improvement suggestions... and that may lead to the article becoming accepted.

Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
Decline reason:
I've just looked at your submission to Articles for Creation, and feel that you need to read WP:USERNAME, WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV (neutral point of view, as well as WP:CORP rather than just trying to add references. At present, it appears very promotional and shows little in the way of notability. Peridon (talk) 22:41, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
