Jakefortinsky

Welcome!

Hello, Jakefortinsky, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was User:Jakefortinsky/sandbox, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia

Speedy deletion nomination of Herd and 10 Podcast (A Buffalo Bills Podcast)

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 Herd and 10 Podcast (A Buffalo Bills Podcast), 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. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 15:40, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

First, thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia. If you haven't done so already, please read Help:My first article.

I am not the editor who nominated the page for "speedy deletion" but I agree that it does not belong in the encyclopedia as written, and possibly not at all. Why?

Most topics are not "notable" enough to qualify for a stand-alone article. Even those that are need to have articles written from a neutral point of view that is free of any "promotional tone." They also need to be adequately referenced from independent, reliable sources.

Because your contribution appears to be written in a very promotional tone and it is inadequately referenced, it will probably be "speedy deleted."

If you are wise, you will make a copy of this page and save it to your local computer before it is deleted, then go to Talk:Buffalo Bills and ask if it is appropriate to mention this podcast in the Buffalo Bills article, possibly by changing the section title of Buffalo Bills#Radio and television to Buffalo Bills#Media outlets or something similar. Please do NOT be WP:BOLD about this, ask first. Unless that podcast clearly meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines, it should not have its own article. Even if it does, Wikipedia and its readers may be better served by it only having a sentence or two in the Buffalo Bills article or one of the articles related to Buffalo Bills in the media, rather than a stand-alone article.

Although it is time-consuming with its 3-month backlog, you may wish to use the Articles for creation process to have someone review your next submission, so you can get feedback. If the feedback says "don't bother submitting again" then you won't waste any more time. If it says "needs improvement" then you will know what needs to happen before it is accepted. If it is accepted, then you will have higher confidence that your future submissions won't be nominated for deletion right away, or, hopefully, not at all.

On another topic: Your oldest visible edit in Wikipedia is the first edit to that page from 16:32, 13 November 2020 (if the page is deleted, this link will no longer work for non-administrators). The edit summary reads "This page has been created for the show Herd and 10. This is a podcast focused on the NFL team the Buffalo Bills. This page was created without bias and is basic information regarding the show." This suggests that you might have a WP:Conflict of interest or possibly even be a "paid editor" (read WP:Paid editing disclosure to find out if you are, and what to do if you are).

If you intend on editing on this topic in the future, I am going to strongly recommend that you disclose if you have a "conflict of interest" in the topic and that you read and carefully follow the guidelines in WP:Conflict of interest, just to avoid future misunderstandings. If you ARE a "paid editor" then Wikipedia policy requires disclosure. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:01, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Followup I made the highly unusual request that administrators wait 24 hours before deleting the page to give you time to see the edit history and make a copy to your own computer. This is NOT the way things are usually done and my request MAY be ignored.

I see by your subsequent edit that you have seen the speedy deletion notice and no doubt have been alerted to my message from a few minutes ago, so I am going to change the "24 hours" to "1 hour." davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:07, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Page moved to Draft: In light of the conflict-of-interest issues raised on the talk page, I have moved the page to Draft:Herd and 10 Podcast (A Buffalo Bills Podcast) where you can continue to work on it. Please read WP:Conflict of interest, Help:My first article, and WP:Notability and reply acknowledging you have done so before you submit the article. If you need my attention, put the green text that follows: {{ping|davidwr}} at the beginning of any message to me on this page or on Draft talk:Herd and 10 Podcast (A Buffalo Bills Podcast). I'm usually on Wikipedia at least every 2 or 3 days. You might find additional assistance on the talk page of WP:WikiProject Podcasting. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:43, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Just so you know

Pages that have been "articles" for less than 90 days are typically not indexed by search engines until they have been "patrolled" by an experienced editor. This can take awhile. Pages less than 90 days old that have been marked for "speedy deletion" are typically not indexed even if they have been "patrolled." davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:10, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

{{ping|davidwr}} Hey David, are you able to help me ensure that this goes through, maybe having you actually make some of the adjustments to ensure this is as objective and unbiased as possible? jakef (talk) 16:46, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Jakefortinsky, It is impossible to guarantee a page gets accepted, especially with your COI (This is, in my eyes, blatantly promotional intent as having this page benefits your show and earns you money.) —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 16:48, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

@Jakefortinsky: No, I cannot guarentee it won't go through. Quite the opposite. If the topic turns out to be non-notable, I may personally reject it. Rejection is stronger than decline. Decline means "fix the problems and try again." Rejection means "don't bother."

However, for topics that are clearly notable (yours is not, yet) and clearly best served by a stand-alone article (most notable topics are, but whether yours is or not should be discussed at another forum, possibly Talk:Buffalo Bills), a well-written, neutrally-written, well-referenced ("well" means quality, NOT quantity!) encyclopedic page without undue weight to less important elements has a very good chance of being accepted. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:00, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

@Jakefortinsky: Also, to make the ping work, just copy and past the text in green, NOT the "wiki-code" you see when editing: {{ping|davidwr}}. If you do it correctly, it will show up as @Davidwr: and I will get a "notification" as described in WP:Notifications, provided you "sign" your comment in the very same edit (notifications don't work if you try to go back and "add a ping" later). davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:00, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
