  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Draft:SageTea. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted or removed.

  • If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
  • If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. It appears that the author of this draft is repeatedly making minor edits in the hope of finding a reviewer who will accept it into article space regardless of the previously noted issues. This is tendentious and may result in nomination of the draft for deletion or a block. The author was advised to request advice from experienced editors but is choosing to resubmit persistently, which strongly suggests an effort to game the system by getting an easy reviewer.

If you were to be through AFC, you would still have AFD. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:01, 9 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Draft:SageTea. Bradv 21:18, 9 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Draft:SageTea. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. If this draft is resubmitted without addressing all of the questions and without requesting advice from neutral experienced editors, a block will be requested.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Longfamily417. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Draft:SageTea, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. You have not made the required conflict of interest disclosure. If the Paid editing disclosure is required, it must be made or you will be blocked.

Reply to your post to my talk page

You, User:Longfamily417, still don’t seem to be paying attention, or, more likely, you are paying attention, but are ignoring most of what is said because your only objective is to get your company article accepted without regard to Wikipedia policy.

You wrote:

Thank you for your recent feedback. I have modified the first line so that it is not self referencing. I also removed the reference to the Ottawa Citizen circulation size. Regarding the performance analysis section, what do I do to put it in paragraph format? Regarding your rejection, what other writing recommendations would you make for it to be acceptable? Perhaps I simply cannot write this kind of article myself? I would have thought the published research would have stood on its own since it was independently reviewed and went through a peer reviewed process. Interested in your advice. thanks, David

You conclude with "Interested in your advice". Why do you say that when it obviously isn’t true, when you have more than once blown off my advice to ask for help at WP:Teahouse? Do you think that saying that you are interested in my advice, when you have ignored it, will make me believe you? Do you think that I am so stupid that I will believe your statement that you are interested in my advice, when it is obvious that all that you are interested in is finding some device for getting your draft accepted?

Normally, with an editor who asks for advice about a draft article, I would go ahead and write up the issue at the Teahouse for the new editor. In this case, I won’t, because you ignored my advice and are trying very aggressively to push the reviewers into accepting your article, but doing so annoys the reviewers. (At least, it annoys me. I don’t speak for the other reviewers, except that I think that one other reviewer is also annoyed.)

You ask how to put a section into paragraph format. You know very well how to put a section into paragraph format. The rest of your draft is in paragraph format.

You wrote: "Regarding your rejection, what other writing recommendations would you make for it to be acceptable? Perhaps I simply cannot write this kind of article myself?" You were cautioned to read the conflict of interest policy, which discourages you from trying to write about yourself, your company, etc. It doesn’t forbid submitting a draft about your company via the AFC process, but it does discourage it. You appear to be precisely the sort of editor who needs to be discouraged from writing about their company, because your insistence on ignoring advice and getting your draft accepted is tendentious and disruptive.

You did resubmit the draft again without addressing all of the points and without asking for help. Are you really looking to be blocked, or do you just believe that you can be so persistent that it will be easier for the reviewers to accept your draft and leave it to AFD than to keep declining it?

If you have any more questions, you may ask for advice at the Teahouse or the Help Desk. Maybe you may find an editor who is willing to help you. Maybe.

Your userpage is wrong

edit

Your userpage says that you'll be getting an ex-employee to edit the article for you. I'd like to point out that's incorrect, because:

  1. The draft is non-notable and so will be deleted pretty soon anyway (within a week)
  2. You'll no doubt be blocked soon, and so getting another editor to edit for you is meatpuppetry which is not permitted. Thus, that user will get blocked straight away too.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is stop trying to use Wikipedia to promote your non-notable stuff. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:15, 10 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

The term "meat puppet" seems derogatory. I suggest let the author write in their own words. He is free to do so, I have no other comments, unless asked. Respectfully.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Longfamily417 (talkcontribs)

I won't stop using commonly used Wikipedia terminology just because you don't like it.
Honestly, the sooner you're blocked and your company spam deleted the better. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:30, 10 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Articles

edit

Perhaps you need to reconsider the basic purpose of what a Wikipedia article is. It is an encyclopedia article. It is intended to provide a summary of existing reliably sourced information about a topic, in a formal neutral tone, for the benefit of readers. It should not contain information that is directed to editors, whose mission is to maintain the encylopedia for readers. You have at least twice tried to insert into your draft article, Draft:SageTea, material that isn't about the company, but is for editors. The first was an argumentative statement about the Ottawa Citizen. More recently, you tried to insert the COI disclosure in the article itself. If you don't understand what an article should or should not contain (and an article draft should only contain what the article will contain), ask for advice or help rather than just pushing your effort to get free advertising that will only be worth what you paid for it. If you really don't understand what should and should not be in articles and article drafts, ask for advice rather than guessing. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:28, 10 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I am on day #2 of Wikipedia here. Still learning.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:SageTea

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:SageTea, 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, product, group, service or person 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 removed 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.

Talkpage ban

edit

As I do not believe that you are here to contribute positively to the encyclopedia, I am indefinitely banning you from my talkpage. Also included in the ban are any editors you ask/pay/hire to write about your non-notable stuff on Wikipedia. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:57, 10 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Well, all I can say is that the requirements for notability are well understood, and I would therefore request that you consider if the article meets those requirements instead of establishing your decisions based on your "beliefs". I am actually a positive contributor, although somehow we have not yet connected on that. Perhaps we need to work harder on our relationship as fellow academics. I am open to learning from you, and I hope you feel the same. If not, well, what can I do?
