Speedy deletion nomination of Amy Benz

[edit]

Hello Daniel Hopwood,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Amy Benz for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Hello GSS

Information icon

Hello Daniel Hopwood. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Daniel Hopwood. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Daniel Hopwood|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. GSS💬 10:06, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GSS: I don't have any financial stake. I've been trying to orient myself with some good Wiki articles to edit and I started with this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_needing_cleanup So I went from the beginning (2009) and figured I would gradually make my way through any and all articles that Wikipedia itself was requesting cleanup on.

I can assure you I am not connected in any way to the pages I edited, financially or otherwise. Can you suggest other pages that I could work on to help improve Wikipedia and that would help me be regarded as an asset to the Wikipedia community? I would be most grateful.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Børge, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Norwegian. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:29, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Television ratings

[edit]

Please note that disambiguation pages like Television ratings are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

  • Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
  • Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
  • Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
  • Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
  • Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
  • Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 18:00, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Dhananjay Datar

[edit]

Hello, Daniel Hopwood. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Dhananjay Datar".

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) 16:54, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
