December 2019

Hello Franciscowashere. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Sonder Design, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Franciscowashere. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Franciscowashere|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. Daylen (talk) 00:18, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sonder Design

The article Sonder Design has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails to meet the notability guidelines for companies. The article was also clearly written by someone with a COI and is promotional in tone. The same editor (Franciscowashere) has also been reverting edits by other users that represent the company in a negative light.

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.

Move at Dove Airlines

Hi, I saw you moved the article to Dove India AIrlines (in which you had a typo) even though all the sources and the airlines website state otherwise. However I believe this is related to disambiguating it from Dove Air the South African carrier right?, instead of moving either articles (for now) I'd suggest you to start an RM discussion so that we can figure out which carrier is the primary topic (if there is any), a possible disambiguation page and new precise title(s). Since, you're WP:AUTOCONFIRMED you can start an RM discussion easily using WP:TW. Thanks! Bingobro (Chat) 08:00, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Cape independence

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Cape independence. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Cape Party. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Cape Party. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions.   // Timothy :: talk  02:34, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
