Proposed deletion of Village Sounds Agency edit

 

The article Village Sounds Agency has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no indication of meeting notability guidelines. While references are given, they are either trivial mentions or primary sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. noq (talk) 12:08, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Are you a paid editor with a conflict of interest? edit

 

Hello Johnmtheory. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Johnmtheory. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Johnmtheory|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:37, 6 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Response: Hello Cwmhiraeth I am not being paid for my edits either directly or indirectly. Johnmtheory (talk) 16:04, 9 August 2018 (PST)

Ways to improve Village Sounds Agency edit

Hi, I'm Rosguill. Johnmtheory, thanks for creating Village Sounds Agency!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article spends too much detailing the careers of Ducrou, Piticco, and related agencies. In order to improve the article, consider removing content that isn't directly relevant to Village Sounds Agency.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Speedy deletion nomination of International Woo-Ah! Day edit

Hello Johnmtheory,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged International Woo-Ah! Day for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
