Hello, I just moved an article from my sandbox to Wikipedia. It seemed to work fine except the published page has a Title in two places with the following message:

This sandbox is in the article namespace. Either move this page into your userspace, or remove the {{User sandbox}} template. I tried a few things but as a new user I'm stuck. I appreciate your help in resolving this matter. Thanks in advance. The title of the article is TEK-Energy Systems Inc.

Please help me with...

Hi HelpfulHopper,

First of all: Welcome to Wikipedia, and no worries. This will be fixed; you do not need to make any further changes.

Please take a moment to disclose your connection to the company, if any; your user page does not mention the company name at the moment.

Best regards,

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, HelpfulHopper. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page TEK-Energy Systems Inc., 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:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:21, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TEK-Energy Systems Inc. moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, TEK-Energy Systems Inc., does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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.

January 2020

Hello HelpfulHopper. 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, and if it does not, 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:HelpfulHopper. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=HelpfulHopper|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. Praxidicae (talk) 00:16, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See Special:Diff/937745361 for the response; see User_talk:ToBeFree#Response_to_your_assistance. for the discussion. HelpfulHopper, if you do not intend to make any further edits with a conflict of interest, the answer seems to be sufficient. If you do intend to contribute further about topics you have a connection to, please disclose the connection precisely on your user page. Please also note that the term "compensation" is not limited to monetary compensation, and that It makes no difference if the paid editor writes the content off-site or in userspace and then another editor moves the material into mainspace on their behalf. Both editors are required to make a disclosure. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:36, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

April 2021

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at SatCon Technology Corporation, you may be blocked from editing. You seem to be continuing an edit war started by an IP editor. Your edits (unexplained blanking of verified information) are disruptive: stop. Discuss on talk page, if you want to achieve anything.

Your draft article, Draft:TEK-Energy Systems

Hello, HelpfulHopper. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "TEK-Energy Systems".

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 deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. 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. ✗plicit 10:42, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
