Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at Megan Van Petten. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Hello, Mvp-vpg. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. —SpacemanSpiff 06:43, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give ESports Trade Association a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Esports Trade Association. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. 82.132.212.241 (talk) 19:47, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wikipedia Rep 82.132.212.241, thank you for your feedback regarding how to change the title of an article. The article title should be Esports Trade Association (not ESports Trade Association). The Esports Trade Association (ESTA) is not the same as "Esports". ESTA is a non-profit 501(c)6 organization, while Esports is a sport, so please consider our page without redirecting it to the Esports article. Please reply letting us know that you understand that the 'Esports Trade Association' and 'Esports' are not the same things. We understand that the Esports Trade Association page that we created yesterday needs work in getting approved and we are happy to comply. Thank you, Megan Van Petten

Hello Wikipedia Rep, what do you suggest we do to get the article about Esports Trade Association approved? The Esports Trade Association (ESTA) is not the same as "Esports". ESTA is a non-profit 501(c)6 organization, while Esports is a sport, so please consider our page without redirecting it to the Esports article. Please reply letting us know that you understand that the 'Esports Trade Association' and 'Esports' are not the same thing. We understand that the Esports Trade Association page that we created may need work in getting approved and we are happy to comply. Please let us know what you suggest that we do to get the article approved. Thank you, Megan Van Petten, Managing Director of the Esports Trade Association
