Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!  

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Blue2berry. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Help

edit

Thank you wiki community for all your help. I am very green and learning. I could use your assistance with posting a new article about a new company which I have placed in my sandbox. I understand that it is extremely difficult so I am seeking your assistance with this article on a brand new company. Blue2berry (talk) 12:13, 11 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

First, you should read Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). This will explain whether the topic of your draft merits a separate article. If the topic is not notable by these guidelines, you should not try to fight it and instead find an article that is notable to create. Unfortunately, I cannot presently offer more guidance, but I've left the help open so another editor can help you. E to the Pi times i (talk | contribs) 00:13, 12 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
I have moved the page to Draft:Hitco Entertainment and added a messagebox with a "Submit your draft for a review" button. However, I don't think the company currently meets Wikipedia's standards of notability; it seems too soon to write an encyclopedia article about them. Huon (talk) 01:23, 12 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Now that you have disclosed, please read the below very carefully:

  Hello, Blue2berry. 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. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

Your draft article, Draft:Hitco Entertainment

edit
 

Hello, Blue2berry. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Hitco Entertainment".

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. CptViraj (📧) 14:17, 15 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

A warning on plagiarism and copying content

edit

Hi! I am reverting Special:Diff/1090312051 this edit you made, because even though you cited a source, you copied the wording directly (including the external links, which generally should not be included in the body of an article). Please do not copy sources word-for-word, as this still constitutes plagiarism — see the second example at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Avoiding plagiarism.

  Hello, I'm Apocheir. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Alexander Hamilton Institute for the Study of Western Civilization seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. In cases like yours where you have a flagrant conflict of interest, it is often better to request changes on the talk page of the article and let uninvolved editors evaluate, as described in Wikipedia:Edit requests.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

edit

Hello, Blue2berry. Thank you for your work on Dev Pragad. 9H48F, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia! In my review, I added content from sources about Pragad's ownership and legal issues - I felt it's a little disingenuous not to include that info. There was some information that I was unable to attribute to the sources cited and sounded rather like PR, so that was removed.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|9H48F}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

License tagging for File:2-ceo-dev-pragad.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:2-ceo-dev-pragad.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:30, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

I added some more tags to the image and to his BLP.--FeralOink (talk) 12:18, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:2-ceo-dev-pragad.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:2-ceo-dev-pragad.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation of https://www.newsweek.com/dev-pragad-image-gallery and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.
