Very bad form

edit

It's very bad form to create your article in main article space in spite of it being rejected as a draft. I have deleted it. Please work on getting your draft approved instead. It is far from being ready for main article space. See WP:MUSICBIO to get an idea of what the person needs to merit an article in Wikipedia. At the moment, the sources you cite don't demonstrate notability of the subject. See Wikipedia:Golden rule for an overview of what we expect. Thanks. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:45, 3 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

PPCsteph, as you can see from the red links above, Draft:David Raiklen has been deleted as a copyright violation, as it was copied more or less word for word from th various sources. With a few rare exceptions, everything you write in Wikipedia must be entirely in your own words. If you have some personal or professional connection to Raiklen you should disclose it; if you receive or expect to receive any kind of financial benefit from him or his agents, disclosure is obligatory.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rand Rusher

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 Rand Rusher, 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.

Conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, PPCsteph. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page David R. Raiklen, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. – Athaenara 06:22, 22 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Hello! I do not have a personal relationship with anyone that I posted about nor have I received compensation. I wrote about individuals whose careers I’ve followed and shows I’ve watched. I have not received any monetary compensation for the articles that I’ve written or edited. Please remove my block. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PPCsteph (talkcontribs) 08:01, 22 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

User unresponsive. You may make a new request should you wish to answer. 331dot (talk) 09:03, 1 November 2019 (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.

You say that you "do not have a personal relationship with anyone that I posted about"; do you have a non-personal relationship, such as a professional relationship? 331dot (talk) 18:13, 28 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

This editor has a history of posting articles that have been declined in AFC to main space, and creating copyvio content, requiring others to clean up afterward. Overall I am not seeing unblocking as a net benefit for the Wikipedia project unless this editor agrees to change past practices. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:59, 29 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
