Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. 331dot (talk) 02:38, 26 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Requested username:

Request reason:

I originally chose QueensNightMarket as a username to transparently indicate that I was trying to post an article about my own project, not for promotional purposes but because I noticed that Queens Night Market is now referenced in the Wikipedia article on New York City, so I was hoping to introduce a cross-reference

Accept reason:

Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest. That doesn't mean you can write what you like, you must follow the guidance below.

  • you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
  • The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
  1. significant coverage in
  2. independent,
  3. multiple,
  4. reliable,
  5. secondary sources.
Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.
  • you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
  • there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
  • you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:04, 26 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Although you had a list of references, they were not in-line, so I have no idea what fact each was supposedly verifying, which is what is needed. Just dumping a list of sites mentioning the market isn't enough, even if they are good-quality sources, each claim needs to be verified. Without that, it's just a list of unsupported claims and looks like promotion.
You haven't linked to existing articles either, such as New York City, Flushing Meadows–Corona Park
Even if your source is generally acceptable, such as the NY Post or WSJ, if they are just quoting claims by Wang, that's not acceptable. Claims about annual/nightly numbers of visitors need a source unconnected to the market to have any credibility
Sources like WSJ that need a subscription should be marked as such in the reference template using the parameter |url-access=subscription
I cannot tell whether the market meets our notability criteria because without proper in-line references, I don't know which of the statements are verifiable and which are just unsourced or sourced only to Wang or other COI sources

I've made these changes, please check and ask if you don't understand any of them. They are a mixture of ref formatting, MoS and toning down non-neutral wording Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:47, 28 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
