User talk:SamuelCostanzo

Welcome!

Hello, SamuelCostanzo, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Cold Engines, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! ☆ Bri (talk) 05:15, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Cold Engines

The article Cold Engines has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NBAND; multiple non-trivial works etc.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ☆ Bri (talk) 05:15, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing at Wikipedia

Hello SamuelCostanzo. 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 Cold Engines, and that 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:SamuelCostanzo. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=SamuelCostanzo|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:01, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Response by Samuel Costanzo

I absolutely have not received and do not plan to receive any compensation either direct or indirect from my edits. That was never an intention for me writing the page. On a side note I have been involved in Boston music for almost 20 years and during this time witnessed this group's (and members of this group) accomplishments. Thank you, SamuelCostanzo (talk) 03:07, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
