  Please refrain from hijacking pages, as you did with AIOS. Should you believe the subject you were writing about deserves an article, please use the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version that you can then get feedback on. Please also see Wikipedia's disambiguation guideline which indicates how to handle separate subjects with similar names. If you continue to hijack an existing article, you may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you.

Apologies for my mistake, but that was not a page and just redirect from what I've seen as the page is - wiki/Algerian_Institute_of_Standardization Al Comane (talk) 15:53, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Work on the draft to see if this company is notable enough for inclusion in the first place. If it is accepted, then a disambiguation hatnote may be required at the top.
Do you have any personal or professional affiliation with this company? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:33, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Drm310 I was reading the Disambiguation guidelines and wanted to ask if the article published under the Algerian Institute of Standardization, which is redirected from AIOS, does not fall under broad-concept articles. How is this different from the Institute of Standardization in Albania, Austria, Australia, Argentina, Azerbaijan, or any other countries with a similar institution?
  • A Supreme court, National trust, or Finance minister (or Ministry of Finance) is each a kind of entity occurring in multiple countries and possibly in other political entities and serving the same purpose in each. Rather than having disambiguation pages at these titles linking to existing articles on these entities by nation, each should contain an article describing in general terms what the concept is and how the different examples of this concept relate to each other.

Concern regarding Draft:AIOS

edit

  Hello, Al Comane. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:AIOS, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 23:09, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:AIOS

edit
 

Hello, Al Comane. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "AIOS".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:42, 30 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Al Comane. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:AIOS, 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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 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 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:Al Comane. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Al Comane|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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:27, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
