Welcome!

Hello, Misletoe20, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Justin Kingsley, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Misletoe20. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Justin Kingsley, 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. Possibly (talk) 20:23, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

requested a copy to be emailed to me so I can work on and improve it. will resubmit only when I am confident that it is ready and acceptable. thank you Misletoe20 (talk) 12:36, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Justin Kingsley

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:Justin Kingsley, 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.

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.Deb (talk) 16:28, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm pretty sure the reason I didn't do anything about it was that the last message I had from you was [1] - "thank you, I replied to your comment on my talk page". But as far as I can see, you've never posted on your Talk page. Also, since we were last in touch, you haven't done any editing. Does this mean you aren't interested in helping with the encyclopedia, only with getting an article for Justin Kingsley? Deb (talk) 08:37, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and thank you for the reply. It is true that I haven't continued editing since the deletion I think because I felt so discouraged at the lost work. However I will happily continue to edit and learn this weekend. Then, of course, I would like to also continue to improve this article. Hopefully my first full wikipedia article. Please let me know, thank you very much Misletoe20 (talk) 16:18, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Deb, it has been about two years since you deleted my first article attempt and I would very much like to work on it to improve it and make it suitable for wikipedia. could you please allow me to access the work so that I can use all of the research I did yet correct the errors that were made, and that led to deletion. thank you Misletoe20 (talk) 14:01, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done at WP:Requests for undeletion#Draft:Justin Kingsley. You may want to respond to the COI notice at #Managing a conflict of interest. I see you had responded on the COI at Deb's page and it is now in the archives, but it'll help if you respond at the above section too, for the benefit of other users looking at your talk page.
