Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Garywilson76, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Dashboard Builder, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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 Dashboard Builder, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Garywilson76. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Dashboard Builder, 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:

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. TLA (talk) 08:46, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for disclosing, but I strongly suggest you submit this through WP:AFC. TLA (talk) 08:46, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Information icon You persist in creating spammed or promotional drafts, despite the previous explanatory message we sent you.

We remind you that spam and promotional content are prohibited and that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Be aware that creating several articles of this type is liable to blocking against you.

The help summary is at your disposal to guide you in learning Wikipedia and prevent your next pages from being deleted. For any questions, leave me a message.

Thank you for your understanding.

Can you tell me how other people are create pages like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafana ? Aren't they fall under the same category? Why these kind of pages are not block? Can you explain me that? Garywilson76 (talk) 10:16, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon 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.Deb (talk) 15:07, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Deb Please answer my question Garywilson76 (talk) 08:06, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's obvious that English is not your first language so I'll try and keep it simple. The Grafana article exists in several Wikipedias, which suggests (but does not prove) that this product is well-known and widely used, which your product is not. As far as I can see, the person who created that article had no conflict of interest - you have, and you have been advised not to create the article that's been deleted. You haven't attempted to create any other articles, which suggests that you came here purely to promote the product with which you are connected, not to help build the encyclopedia. Having said that, the Grafana article needs work and I am tagging it accordingly. Now please tell me why you think you should be treated differently from all other users.
