Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with Eithidolls. If you do not believe the article should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. --Nehwyn (talk) 23:39, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:FullMakeda.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:FullMakeda.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 15:25, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

September 2019

Hello Hightones. 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:Hightones. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Hightones|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 (talk|c|em) 18:59, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the reply but I am not being paid to make or edit this document and do not expect to be paid for it. If needed the page can be removed but it would be good to save the citations which took a while to gather. Can the page be used as a "starting point" in the requests for creation process? --Hightones (talk) 20:08, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I found the info about putting the article in the draft namespace as part of the articles for creation process but not how to move from the main set into drafts. That would be fine with me and may save someone a lot of work later. Given your instructions not to edit, I am hesitant to try anything right now --Hightones (talk) 20:20, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

AppHarvest have been trying to hire a writer to create content for them on Wikipedia for several months, so we are deeply suspicious of anyone claiming to have "spontaneously" decided to write an article about them. Paid editing is permitted on Wikipedia, but only if the correct disclosure is made. You get one more chance - more than I normally give - are you sticking to your claim that you have not been paid by AppHarvest or their representatives in any way? Yunshui ^雲 _水 08:13, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have not been paid by anyone in any way. Every key stroke on that article was voluntary. I follow the company on facebook, linkedin and twitter and originally learned about them from the ton of publicity. Seeing KY get publicity for technology is refreshing. The google link was broken and I saw they had a page removed. Frankly, I'm losing interest in this. So my question again: Now that the article is in draft can this be put into the request for writing list? Someone else can take this on someday.--Hightones (talk) 22:26, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:AppHarvest

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

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! Roller26 (talk) 15:16, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
