First Post!
editHello fellow Wikipedians,
A while ago, I tried to create a post, but it was deleted because it was "promotional". So now I'm still a little uncertain about what's promotional and hat's not. Anyway, leave notes or whatever on this talk page, or just visit my user page for literally no reason at all.
P.S. I kept the deletion messages in an archive. I dont know why.
Speedy deletion nominations
editHello S, and congratulations on recently passing your 1-year anniversary on Wikipedia. A request: before nominating blank articles for speedy deletion, as you did with DaVita Inc., please ensure the page has not been vandalized and confirm there is no good version to revert to. You can check this by looking at the article's history; please let me know if you need any help with that (or with anything else). UnitedStatesian (talk) 21:39, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, I forgot about the history. Thanks! Swaggerding 18:16, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:NØM4
editIf 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 Draft:NØM4, 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.

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
Hello, Swaggerding. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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.Deb (talk) 12:04, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
Concern regarding Draft:Anthony Kos

Your draft article, Draft:Anthony Kos
editHello, Swaggerding. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Anthony Kos".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If 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! 22:31, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
