August 2018

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Amusement Park Updates", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it implies you are here to promote certain amusement parks, which may be against Wikipedia's editing policies on advertising. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Your username suggests you may be here to post updates about amusement parks, which is not necessarily wrong. However, your username may attract additional scrutiny since it implies that you are only here to post updates about amusement parks. You may want to request to change to a username which is more personalized or general in nature through the link to the form given above. If you have any questions, please leave a reply below or on my talk page, and I will get back to you. EclipseDude (talk) 21:09, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So it is wrong to update only amusement park pages? If I am knowledgeable in this field, why should I edit pages I have no knowledge on? What difference does it make if I change my username and still only edit amusement park pages? Please leave a reply. Amusement Park Updates (talk) 22:17, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am not saying that you have to edit other pages that you don't want to edit. There's nothing wrong with wanting to mainly focus on amusement-park related articles. What I am trying to say is that your username may bring additional scrutiny to you because other accounts which follow similar naming patterns often post promotional material, advertisements, and/or other un-encyclopedic content in topics related to their particular username. This is why I suggest that requesting a different username which is more general or personalized in nature may be beneficial. Again, you do not have to change your username if you don't want to, and you are free to edit any pages you have access to. As long as your edits abide by policy, you should be fine. I will leave a welcome message at the top of your page which may contain information that is useful to getting started off here. I am not trying to run you off; I was just providing a suggestion which may improve your editing experience here. EclipseDude (talk) 22:37, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize if I came across as hostile in any way. EclipseDude (talk) 22:39, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wish I’d seen this earlier. As an administrator with many years of experience dealing with username issues I can assure that this username is fine, it is absolutely not a policy violation. Sometimes in our eagerness to prevent spam folks go a little overboard as apparently happened here, which thankfully has been acknowledged and an apology issued.

Notability of Winterfest (event)

Hi Amusement Park Updates. I am concerned that an article you recently created, Winterfest (event), does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for events. For an event to be notable, it must have received in-depth coverage in independent sources, among other specific requirements. The only sources you've provided in the article are the webpages of amusement parks that have hosted a Winterfest event. Are you aware of any independent coverage (e.g., newspaper or magazine articles) that would establish notability? In the absence of such coverage, the article is eligible for deletion. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 02:31, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Winterfest (event) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Winterfest (event), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) At the moment it is more promotional than encyclopedic. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your draft article, Draft:Winterfest (event)

Hello, Amusement Park Updates. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Winterfest".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:49, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
