Gevorg Ghazaryan

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of Samuel Arakel

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 Samuel Arakel, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

April 2023

Hello Gevorg Ghazaryan. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Gray and Sons, 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:Gevorg Ghazaryan. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Gevorg Ghazaryan|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. Sam Kuru (talk) 16:14, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Dear Sam Kuru, thank you so much for your message and for your concern. However, I would like to let you know that I didn't have a financial stake in promoting a topic. My own personal interests are watches and jewelry. Therefore, it was pretty interesting to write about this company. I would also like to note your edits in the article, as you deleted a few sources that I think are trustworthy. The blog of Gray and Sons was used as a primary source in a couple of Rolex articles (Rolex GMT Master II, Rolex Day-Date), and so on. Thank you so much for assisting me in the development of this article. I look forward to hearing back from you.--Gevorg Ghazaryan (talk) 19:58, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Dear Sam Kuru, I wanted to know the main reasons for moving the article from the mainspace to draft. If we consider that there were sources and refs in the article that were also used in other existing pages of Wikipedia, can we move it to the mainspace from draft? If not, what would you suggest me to work on? Also, about the namedropping changes that you made in the article. From my experience of looking at the articles of retailers, I realized it is common to include the names of companies that the retailer worked with. If its not okay and it is considered namedropping, please let me know and I will take it into account for my future articles and edits. Thank you so much!--Gevorg Ghazaryan (talk) 17:37, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Both references [1][2] to that blog were added by the same paid editing sock farm (Packistani). The other editor (Angel X) that added similar material to your article, five minutes after you created it, is also a paid editor. You've also used fabricated SEO/PR "news" sites run by a scam marketing group. Any chance you're willing to be transparent here? Sam Kuru (talk) 20:42, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Dear Sam Kuru, thank you so much for trying to help me. However, I would like to note that you are talking about my transparency, even though I already stated that I do not get compensated for my edits. About Angel X, he is my Armenian friend, who is only trying to help me in creating my first article in English Wikipedia. I am sorry for not checking who added the sources to the articles mentioned above and having no idea about paid editing sock farms. Concerning the SEO/PR refs, it is common in Armenian Wikipedia to add sources from news websites, which I think is not in English Wikipedia. Therefore, I assure you that for my next edits and articles, I will try to check as closely as possible before adding them to the article. For one more time, I am trying to tell you that I am not being paid for this article, and just trying to succeed in creating my first article. Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing back from you. All the best, --Gevorg Ghazaryan (talk) 22:28, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Gray and Sons

Hello, Gevorg Ghazaryan. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Gray and Sons, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.

Your draft article, Draft:Gray and Sons

Hello, Gevorg Ghazaryan. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Gray and Sons".

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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:41, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
