Hello, Jrtimms. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Juice: How Electricity Explains the World".

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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 12:52, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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 Juice: How Electricity Explains the World, 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.

Undisclosed paid editing

[edit]
Information icon

Hello Jrtimms. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Juice: How Electricity Explains the World, 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:Jrtimms. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Jrtimms|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. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:19, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not being paid. If there is a better way to submit this page I apologize, just trying to learn. My first time trying to add to Wikipedia Jrtimms (talk) 19:37, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any kind of personal or professional relationship with this film or the people involved with it? If so, please carefully read through our conflict of interest guidelines because they would apply to you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:50, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I know a couple people in involved, so I'm assuming that's a COI. I'm not personally gaining anything from this but I'm really not interested prolonging or complicating this. I see all kinds of documentaries have pages and I thought this would be a good addition. If there is a better way to suggest this film get added I'm all ears. Sorry for getting involved in this Jrtimms (talk) 20:46, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As long as you're transparent about your connection to the topic, then it shouldn't be a show-stopper... although I see now that the page has been deleted. I would recommend that you have a look at Wikipedia:Notability (films) and in particular the section "Future films, incomplete films, and undistributed films". For finding reliable sources, Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Resources has a fairly comprehensive list. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:00, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
