Welcome, HKSGGP!

Welcome to Wikipedia, HKSGGP! I'm GoldRomean, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then make a new one.
If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Thank you. Waggers TALK 11:06, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:HKSGGP/sandbox

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 User:HKSGGP/sandbox, 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.

Requested username:

Chiefeditor444 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Trying to follow up with Wikipedia rules and provide neutral username, to avoid any complications against the regulations here. I want to set up a clear and appropriate username that can make it easier for others to identify me as an editor and help Wikipedia. HKSGGP (talk) 13:25, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This choice of new username is not acceptable, as it suggests you have a position of authority on Wikipedia("chief editor") that you do not have. Please choose something else. 331dot (talk) 07:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is another issue I have seen, in that you claim that you personally created the logo of AR Pay. If so, that's fine, but by uploading it to Commons you have made it available for anyone(including competitors) to use for any purpose with attribution, something the company may not want to do, as by doing so someone else could take, use, and sell the logo and the company would not be entitled to any money from the sale of its own logo. If you did not create the logo, or do not want to make it available in such a way, you need to immediately go to Commons and request its deletion. Commons only hosts "free" images where the copyright permits reuse for any purpose by anyone with attribution. Logos are typically uploaded to this Wikipedia directly and used under "fair use" rules.

The underlying point here too is that you seem to be associated with this company, if so the Terms of Use require that to be declared, see WP:PAID(which includes employment in any capacity) as well as WP:COI. 331dot (talk) 07:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot Since AR Pay is owned by the HKS Global Group (which is the current username) it's really a obvious PAY/COI issue. Nobody (talk) 07:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I suspected a connection due to the logo but wasn't clear on what they acronym meant. I've decided to harden this block to prevent account creation and IP editing. 331dot (talk) 07:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of AR-Pay

Hello HKSGGP,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged AR-Pay for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

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

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

Hi, I am writing to appeal the block placed on my account. I understand that I was blocked for inappropriate username but I have tried to change it to new username which I'm using regularly on other website(blogs, socials). There's a new username I have sent few days ago and still waiting for response, so I please to change it after the review. If my edits violated Wikipedia's policies, I sincerely apologize. I am still under development as a beginner Wikipedia editor, and I am committed to learning from this experience. I'm going to improve my edits, as well as no promotional content will be added but only informative, educational and historical, in order to be more encyclopedic and the readers can get more value. I will provide as more accurate infromation as it's possible with plenty of research before edit on Wikipedia. I value Wikipedia as a valuable resource and would love to continue contributing positively.

In additional, I'd love to add that I have found out that there are 8 connected accounts to my personal account and I want you to know that I'm using common router WIFI signal and I believe you started catching accounts from the IP address that are not related to me. As far as I'm aware there is only one account, Wabbler444, that I have created after this one was blocked. Thank you for you time and considerations. HKSGGP (talk) 10:35, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action, or you have not responded to questions raised during that time. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 18:46, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've merged your requests, you don't need separate requests for your username and the block. 331dot (talk) 12:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You shouldn't be creating any other accounts, attempting to use another account is block evasion. You personally are blocked, not just your account, you may not edit under any account or IP until this block is removed. Please respond to my comments I made higher up this page. 331dot (talk) 12:31, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I understand but creating a another account was an option from the source above as it written "Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy." However, I'd love to use this account rather than any other as it's my personal account.

What can I do to get unblocked? HKSGGP (talk) 13:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was unclear- I changed the block upon seeing your edits and that you seem to have a connection with the topic. The block now prevents account creation. Please see my earlier comments above. 331dot (talk) 16:32, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation. What do I need to do to get unblocked? HKSGGP (talk) 08:45, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is your relationship with AR Pay, and did you personally create its logo as you claim in the image? 331dot (talk) 08:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a casual customer on their website and I found they don’t have a wikipedia page, so I decided to contribute with an article as this is a popular website. Although this was my first article on wikipedia, I had no clue what I had to do and I made several mistakes in the process of publishing this article. The biggest one was that I misunderstood some of the regulations about writing promotional content. My purpose wasn’t to promote the company but to publish accurate encyclopedic information such as overview, purpose and other details. However, that helped me to understand how to improve and correct my mistakes and make more like encyclopedic changes such as adding a History section. As I mentioned above, I write sometimes in blogs, so I wrote the article about this company and wanted to simply publish it on Wikipedia as I thought that I’d contribute with new information. The logo was found on Google, as I wanted to represent it in the article, unfortunately, I chose the selections poorly as I haven’t read any of them. Overall, I’d like to excuse myself for the beginner mistakes I made and would love to receive a second chance to upgrade myself and contribute to the Wikipedia community. HKSGGP (talk) 12:51, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the logo, you can't just use any random images you find on the internet here. Logos generally may not be uploaded to Commons, as by doing so you made it available for anyone to use for any purpose with attribution(such as competitors of the company). If you are casual customer as you claim, you don't have the authority to do that, so you must go to Commons and immediately(as in right now, this moment) request deletion of the logo. Logos are typically uploaded to this Wikipedia locally under "fair use" rules, which does carry some restrictions(such as being unable to be used in drafts) but does allow limited use in articles.

Wikipedia doesn't merely want to know overview, purpose, etc. as the company sees it- nor its history as the company sees it. That's considered promotional on Wikipedia, you don't have to be soliciting customers or selling something. Wikipedia articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about a topic, showing how it meets notability as Wikipedia uses the word, such as a notable company. Not every company merits an article.

I digress somewhat; I might- emphasis on might- have bought your explanation had your username been "AR Pay", but your username is an abbreviated form of the parent company's name. Since I think you are attempting to deceive us, I won't remove the block. If you can convince another admin to, they may do so without consulting me. 331dot (talk) 14:05, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
