Welcome!

Hello, Jordankk, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Hello, Jordankk. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. The page Draft:Uloq has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see this page on citing sources and Wikipedia:Common sourcing mistakes (notability). This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{Reflist}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chat. Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

New article creation can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:18, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you did it again? Maybe it's time to trot out WP:BOSS. I mean, PAID editing is allowed if you follow WP:PAID, but it's really hard to write a neutral, non-promotional article about your company or your boss's company. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 11:05, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've put a lot of time and effort into my message explaining why I delete promotional content. Does no one read it? Does anyone heed it? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 11:07, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Block notice

@Jimfbleak: Dontcha think one would be a oood idea? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:33, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra: the side bar block doesn't automatically create one (unlike Twinkle} so presumably it's not required, and in my many years as an admin you are the only person who has suggested it. I can see why, but I don't see the necessity myself Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:39, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That being the case, how are users to request unblocking, and in SPAMU blocks, know what issues to address? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:46, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Probably no one else has noticed because users wind up at UTRS to request unblocking, and I redirect them to their talk pages. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:47, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to yo-- @Jimfbleak:-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:49, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra: OK, I'll try to mend my ways Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:57, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
