Also I was trying to add Ciera Roger's social media pages below and it wasn't working it kept adding my name instead

Davo

Hi can you help move this page from draft to published article?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Davo

AfC notification: Draft:Davo has a new comment

edit
 
I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Davo. Thanks! Fiddle Faddle 19:20, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
It is not acceptable to remove reviewer comments form draft articles. Please do not do so again. This one is not ready. It will be deleted if you move it to become an article (0.99 probability). There is work to do here. Fiddle Faddle 19:24, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
You asked for help at the help desk. I gave you that help, and now I have pushed the draft back to you for further wok. You will see that the notice on the draft instructs you not to remove review messages.
You can always bypass the AFC process, of course you can, but the article as it stands will fail to stay as an article. An editor may move it back to draft space or may simply nominate it for deletion. If you want other opinions please ask for them. They may disagree with me. Fiddle Faddle 19:32, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes I want to bypass the AFC but I keep getting this error message "You cannot move a page to this location because the new title has been protected from creation. " why?

Please understand why we review drafts

edit

Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles.

Everyone who has looked at your draft has wanted to find a reason to accept it. People have spent time trying to show you what you need to do, or what is in the way of the draft becoming an article. Our role is to accept a draft if we thing it has a better than 50% chance of surviving an immediate deletion process.

So far everyone has agreed that the gentleman does not pass WP:NMUSIC, at least yet, and at least as the draft is written. So we have each of us prevented the article from being deleted.

No-one here is paid. All of us are volunteers. We are giving our time to you. So far in return you have not been particularly pleasant. We have thick skins. We can take it. But we are also human. Humans react when poked with sharp sticks. Pease stop poking us with sharp sticks. Instead why not try working with people to see of the draft can be accepted.

If Davo is not notable today he will be in a year, if his career takes off. There is no deadline here.

Most important, Wikipedia does not create reputations. It reports on them. Please try to understand that it is an encyclopaedia, not a blog. PR cannot happen here. So please tell us, what's the great hurry? Have you see deadline you have to hit, maybe a promise made, maybe a fee to earn? Or are you just Davo's number one fan?

Davo (Musician) moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Davo (Musician), does not have enough sources and citations 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 (specifically WP:NBIO) and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. — IVORK Talk 06:45, 3 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Nomination of Davo (musician) for deletion

edit
 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Davo (musician) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Davo (musician) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Fiddle Faddle 07:15, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

as your profile page states "I am not now, have never been, and do not wish to be an administrator here." so leave it to professional Wikipedia staff to consider the submission and stop harassing me and this page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christinagirgis (talkcontribs) 23:22, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Administrators are volunteer editors who have chosen to take on the hard task of clearing up behind the rest of us, and have been approved by the community to do so. There are a very few Wikimedia Foundation staff, but they tend not to involve themselves in the minutiae of article maintenance in their professional categories.
I am absolutely not harassing you. I have offered you advice, analysed your references and tried very hard to educate you, treating you with calm politeness at every step. The community decides, not an administrator. Any editor may nominate any article for deletion provided they have the reason to do so within our policies here. I have nominated this article for deletion because it is not of the quality that Wikipedia accepts. but, and this is important, the community will decide whether I am correct. Fiddle Faddle 22:43, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

There are Wikipedia pages for far lesser known artists with citations from every press website available. How can you continue to state an artist with over millions of Youtube views, spotify streams and signed to a major label with 2 of the hottest rappers on their album is not notable? I removed every single piece of Davo's press and instead put third party objective references. How am I supposed to reference that he has a Youtube video with 1.3 million views featuring Tory Lanez if I can't cite the Youtube link or any website that has posted the video? It makes absolutely no sense. I"m literally using citations like Billboard charts and you're saying well maybe it's reliable. I've included citations from direct instagram and twitter links from artists acknowledging the fatherhood of their child or that they've been frequent collaborators. You are being unfair, and the last page I created for Ciera Rogers which was accepted included all press links about her. Check other artist pages and see that citations include magazine and website articles about them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christinagirgis (talkcontribs) 23:48, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

No article on Wikipedia sets a precedent for ay other article. Each stands or falls on its own merits. There are many inferior articles on Wikipedia. In time they either get deleted or improved, depending on whether the subject has gained suitable referencing and/or notability.
Please read WP:42.
I'm very happy to have a look at Ciera Rogers in due course. Fiddle Faddle 22:59, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Davo (musician). Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Fiddle Faddle 22:28, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

 

Hello Christinagirgis. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Davo (musician), 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:Christinagirgis. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Christinagirgis|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. Fiddle Faddle 17:11, 9 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Concern regarding Draft:Davo

edit

  Hello, Christinagirgis. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Davo, 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. Bot0612 (talk) 22:53, 12 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Davo

edit
 

Hello, Christinagirgis. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Davo".

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 deleted. If 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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 03:17, 18 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Dawn Dickson

edit
 

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 Dawn Dickson, 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. PRAXIDICAE🌈 23:39, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, Christinagirgis. I have been informed that the article is no longer up for speedy deletion. It has nevertheless been criticized for looking like advertising. If you could make it sound a bit more neutral, that might help.--Ipigott (talk) 16:27, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

You may be blocked from editing without further warning if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regarding undisclosed paid editing. PRAXIDICAE🌈 23:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for advertising or promotion.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  --Blablubbs (talk) 14:10, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi. I'm just seeing these comments. I became a fan of Dawn after watching her interview on the Breakfast Club and saw she didn't have a Wikipedia. I've created a couple pages in the past. I edited it so it didn't sound like a bio/resume although some of the places I pulled info from sounded like that. It has been edited. I do not know Dawn personally nor have I been paid anything. I'm not a paid writer. I just wanted more people to become familiar with her work in the tech community Christinagirgis (talk) 20:24, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, but given your history of promotional editing, combined with this and some off-wiki indicators, I am not willing to lift the block. You may appeal it using the unblock procedure outlined above, if you wish. --Blablubbs (talk) 10:10, 22 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
what is promotional editing? You make these accusations out of nowhere. You have no proof that I've been paid by anyone to write anything. You have nothing to substantiate anything you're accusing me of, you just have nothing better to do than harass people trying to contribute noteworthy people to Wikipedia. Because over the course of 5 years I've created pages for maybe 2 or 3 people all of which are still up and backed by tremendous press citations? This last page is a woman with like 100 press articles and TV interviews. You're upset I created a page for her and cited everything I researched?

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Christinagirgis (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I've created maybe 3 Wikipedia pages over the course of like 5 years I do not do this for promotional or paid gain but a genuine interest in artists, all the pages I created were cited with numerous third party/press references and all facts were accurate. There is no valid reason to why I'm blocked except some random administrators making "guesses" at why I would create a page. You can't just accuse someone of making a page for money. Anything that sounded "promo" was because I got the information from a site where it may have been written like that. The people whose pages I created deserve pages, they have hundreds of mentions in the press and are notable figures who didn't have Wikipedia pages and I contributed by doing research and adding them. The page I just created for Dawn Dickson was relevant and I did it after I saw her interview on the Breakfast Club as I saw she didn't have a Wikipedia page. I should not be blocked for this Christinagirgis (talk) 15:56, 23 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Wikipedia has articles, not pages. Maybe you are a paid editor and maybe you are not, but I share the concerns of the blocking admin and also see the same indicators. I'd like to know who "we" is to start(in the aforementioned linked message you made). "Hundreds of mentions in the press" is irrelevant; we prefer quality sources over quantity. I'm not comfortable lifting the block. Maybe someone else will, but not me. 331dot (talk) 13:00, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

So instead you let other people come in to these articles and start making edits that are completely erroneous and un-sourced? Look at the article for Dawn Dickson now. While I spent real time researching this woman putting together a good quality write-up you block me and other people come in to create disinformation? Hundreds of press articles were mentioned because it means that someone may actually deserve an article. Instead it's so hard for you to comprehend that someone would want to contribute to a page/article/whatever without being paid. You guys are jaded. You don't have a quality page for Dawn Dickson now.
