Hello!

Hey Lorraineador! My name is FrancessO, and I'm also taking the GPP 105 course this Spring semester. I am currently a third-year pre-med student studying public health here at Cal. I wish you the best of luck with the remainder of the school year- finish strong!

Hey Lorraine!! I hope I did this right.. Nzahid (talk) 22:17, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there!

Hey Lorraineador! I'm still trying to work the kinks in Wikipedia, so I hope you don't mind me talking on your page :) I'm kimdo1, and I'm in the Tuesday section for Spring 2018 GPP 105. Hope things are going well for you! Kimdo1 (talk) 21:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of YOGO

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 YOGO, 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.

In case you don't see my response before Talk:YOGO is deleted: You wrote "I created this page to highlight the sustainable business ethics of YOGO, an eco-friendly athletic wear company. I felt that it was necessary to highlight current sustainability efforts and responsible commerce practices that is not very common in the yoga & fitness industry. ... This page is not unambiguously promotional, because its primary focus is to talk about the company relationship with sustainable consumerism and responsible commerce. Please reconsider the deletion."

I responded: "Right there. You're still doing it. You're using the article as a soapbox for sustainable consumerism and eco-friendliness and responsible commerce and promoting the company's adherence to conforming practices while contrasting it to competitors. Your argument that the article isn't promotional is itself highly promotional." Largoplazo (talk) 22:09, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
Hello, Lorraineador. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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.Deb (talk) 09:16, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
