Re: "STFU"
[edit]Hi, your additions to STFU have been reverted because you were adding them to a disambiguation page, which serves to list articles which may be referred to by the same name. As such, only topics with Wikipedia articles about them may be listed there. If you think the band is notable, you may consider starting a draft about it and submit it through the articles for creation process. Before doing so, you should consult the notability guidelines for pages about music, musicians, and groups. An article about a band not found to be notable is likely to be rejected.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:STFU-Band
[edit]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 Draft:STFU-Band, 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. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:4C4B (talk) 05:28, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]Hello, Hpomeroy89. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:STFU-Band, 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, clients, 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 Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- 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. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:40, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
Need for care
[edit]Your editing of the article Caroline Redman Lusher appears to have introduced at least one error, perhaps more. The date you gave for her gold badge award is not supported by anything I have been able to find. Obviously, if it was a mistake, as seems to he the case, please be careful to avoid similar mistakes in future. JBW (talk) 09:43, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
