Welcome!

Hello, Worldproskitour, 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:

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! davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

You should change your username

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Worldproskitour", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Why I will be rejecting your draft

edit

Most companies, organizations, and events do NOT qualify for a Wikipedia article.

In order to qualify for an article, a topic, whether it's an event, organization, or any other topic, must meet Wikipedia's rather stiff notability guidelines. There are also special versions for various topics. For example, organizations must meet WP:Notability (organizations and companies).

How can you demonstrate that a topic meets Wikipedia's requirements? First, read the notability guidelines along with read WP:What Wikipedia is not and WP:Spam.

Then read WP:Reliable sources, WP:Independent sources, and WP:Citing sources.

Of course, since you are connected to this company, read WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Paid editing disclosure.

The short answer is that unless a topic has received "significant" coverage from independent, reliable sources, any article about the topic that is created will likely be deleted, either immediately under one of the criteria listed here, after another editor recommends the page be deleted and nobody, including you, objects within a week using the WP:Proposed deletion process, or after a discussion typically lasting a week using the WP:Articles for deletion process.

I will be rejecting your draft because 1) there are insufficient independent, reliable sources that, taken together, demonstrate the topic is notable. 3-5 sources is probably all that is needed. 2) As written, the submission seems to exist primarily to advertise the topic.

In many case, please take care of your username issue before making further edits to Wikipedia. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your submission at Articles for creation: World Pro Ski Tour (October 2)

edit
 
Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Davidwr was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: The page reads like an advertisement and will have to be fundamentally re-written to be of any value to Wikipedia. Also, even if it were re-written, it could not be accepted unless it were clear that the topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Pages that do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines are routinely deleted.

Your draft article, Draft:World Pro Ski Tour

edit
 

Hello, Worldproskitour. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "World Pro Ski Tour".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
