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 User:Moseley101/sandbox, 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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. — kikichugirl speak up! 00:58, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

editNo, the reasoning has never been "this is the inappropriate place" * - it has been every time "inappropriately promotional". Your sandbox IS the appropriate place. But you need to learn to write from encyclopedic tone and approach rather than PR promotional tone and approach. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:57, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
*(although User:Moseley101 IS an inappropriate place for an article, that space is for non promotional content about you as a user and editor of Wikipedia WP:UPYES.) -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:59, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- for an article about a company , try starting with
"ACME INC. is a NATIONALITY company founded in XXXX by JOHNDOE that makes WIDGETS." (footnotes to reliably published sources that discuss Acme and its founding)
- as a person with a conflict of interest, you should probably not be creating or directly editing an article about that subject. If you have reliably published sources that are not related to the subject that discuss the subject in depth you can submit a request to the requested article process. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:23, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
