Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is simply a business PR listing because the sources are simply their own announcements, listings and mentions; we need major independent news and only that because it's what satisfies our policies; there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone else.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Cloudcommerce/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Cloudcommerce

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Cloudcommerce, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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 removed 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.

I don't have a problem with you getting unblocked, but you will have to do the following things: change your username, go through one of the training programs on Wikipedia, and use the WP:TEAHOUSE when revising your AfC draft in order to avoid any further concerns over promotion. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:00, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've also changed the block to a softer block, since you do seem to want to follow guidelines, you just have been going about it a bit of the wrong way. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:01, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok sorry if I'm in violation, I'm new to Wikipedia. How do I change my username? Can you help me change it? Update: I think I figured it out let's try this:

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

elderzninja (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I was told I need to change my username because it was too closely associated with a specific organization. But in full disclosure I am an employee of the organization I'm trying to get an article posted about on here. Cloudcommerce (talk) 18:20, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Superseded, below. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:17, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That username already exists (you can use the "account availability check" link in the template to check), so please change it to another one. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:34, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! Ok thanks for your help, here let me try a different one:

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Basketballninja7 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

basketballninja7 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I was told I need to change my username because it was too closely associated with the specific organization mentioned above. Sorry, I'm still learning how this all works :-) Cloudcommerce (talk) 20:05, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Accept reason:

New name is fine, renamed and unblocked, welcome back. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:19, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

AfC notification: User:Basketballninja7/sandbox has a new comment

Your submission at Articles for creation: CloudCommerce, Inc. (January 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft has notability issues and tone issues. Just adding a long list of references that are mostly the same does not establish notability for a stub.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:CloudCommerce, Inc. and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Hello! Basketballninja7, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk.

See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 05:52, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:CloudCommerce, Inc.

Hello, Basketballninja7. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "CloudCommerce".

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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 07:21, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
