Welcome!
editHello, Wenura101, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Best practices for editors with close associations
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

The article Theology.lk has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Newly formed website with no indication of satisfying WP:NWEB.
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.

"Experience has unfortunately shown that most (but not all) people with experience in PR cannot be taught to write a proper article, because they are so completely oriented to writing advertisements or quasi-advertisements that they honestly cannot see the difference between that and a proper encyclopedia article." -- User:DGG.Please be aware that until you can demonstrate the ability to edit non promotionally, it is unlikely you will be unblocked to edit about Theology.lk or any subject with which you have an off-Wikii connection. I'll leave you my standard deletion notice in hopes of helping you become a constructive Wikipedist instead of just another spammer. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:56, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Wenura101. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. The page Theology.lk has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising.
Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.
Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.
Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see this page on citing sources and Wikipedia:Common sourcing mistakes (notability). This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{Reflist}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chat, as well as Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.
New article creation can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:57, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Deepfriedokra, Thank you for taking the time to provide me with detailed feedback and guidance regarding the deletion of the page Theology.lk on Wikipedia. I appreciate your efforts in maintaining the standards of the encyclopedia and ensuring that the content aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines.
- I apologize for any unintentional violation of the guidelines. I understand that the page needed to be fundamentally rewritten to meet the encyclopedic standards and avoid any promotional elements. I will make sure to thoroughly review the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations to gain a better understanding of the requirements.
- Regarding the block, could you please provide me with information about the duration of the block and any steps I can take to have it lifted? I would greatly appreciate your guidance in this matter.
- Thank you once again for your assistance and valuable feedback. I look forward to hearing from you. Wenura101 (talk) 18:16, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am writing to request the lifting of the block on my account, Wenura101, as well as the ban on my IP address. I apologize for any misunderstanding caused by my previous actions, and I assure you that I will be more responsible in the future. It has been almost two weeks since the block was imposed, and I have had time to reflect on the importance of adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines. I genuinely value the integrity of information on Wikipedia and have never engaged in promotional or undisclosed paid editing. I kindly request your reconsideration and the opportunity to contribute responsibly to the Wikipedia community once again. Thank You Wenura101 (talk) 06:04, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Yes, you have engaged in promotional editing. If you don't realize that, I am not confident that we will not see more of it if you are unblocked. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:01, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
Thank you for your response. I understand that my previous actions involved promoting content, which goes against Wikipedia's rules. I want to assure you that I have learned from my mistake and will never engage in such behavior again. I fully comprehend the importance of maintaining Wikipedia's integrity and promise to contribute responsibly and without any bias. I kindly request that you reconsider and give me the chance to prove my commitment to upholding Wikipedia's high standards. Wenura101 (talk) 08:21, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
This is a nice general platitude but it tells us nothing. Your chance to prove yourself is now. Please describe any connection you have to the subjects of your edits, as well as if you are compensated in any manner(declaring paid editing is a Terms of Use requirement). Tell us how your edits were promotional and what steps you will take to avoid doing so again; lastly, please tell what topics you will edit about. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 09:07, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
