Draft that was on your "user" page moved to 2nd sandbox

I moved your user page, User:Maverick2554, to User:Maverick2554/sandbox2. Your user page is meant to tell other editors about your activities on Wikipedia. You can leave it blank if you choose. It is not for draft articles. Draft articles should be created as "user sub-pages" or as pages whose name starts with Draft:. For more information on user pages and user sub-pages, read Wikipedia:User pages. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 03:39, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Justin Bateman

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:Justin Bateman, 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.

Paid editing

Hi Maverick2554. You need to comply with our mandatory paid editing disclosure policies. Do not edit further until you have. Normally, we post a template asking the person if they are a paid editor, and then request that they not edit further until they reply to that question, but you have stated so already, so it's not in question—so make the disclosure before doing anything else. Because the template we use has a lot of useful information on how to comply, where the paid editing policy is located and so forth, I am going to post it below purely for information purposes.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:17, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello Maverick2554. 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:Maverick2554. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Maverick2554|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. --Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:17, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Justin Bateman moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Justin Bateman, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

You had included nine references in the article. Four of them were publications of the same press release. When different newspapers publish a press release, it is still only one source (and it is not WP:SECONDARY). The "Press Reader" reference was a copy of the Portsmouth News article (Press Reader is not a source, it's just a place where sources can be accessed). The "Canada News" reference looks like a news aggregator so that's not a source either, and no information about Bateman could be found there anyway. And Reddit is not a reliable source.

If you add more sources to the article, make sure to include citation markers so readers can understand which parts of the information are supported by which source. And you must declare your connection to the subject before making any other edits, per the information in the section above this one. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 09:01, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Final warning

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to my post above regarding your undisclosed paid editing – the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Maverick2554, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Maverick2554|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you make any additional edits without complying you may be blocked from editing.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 11:58, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Justin Bateman

Hello, Maverick2554. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Justin Bateman, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 05:02, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:Maverick2554/sandbox2
