Welcome! edit

Hello, Danieltannenbaum, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created 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! 220 of Borg 11:41, 21 October 2016 (UTC)Reply


Speedy deletion nomination of Call Wiser Insurance edit

Hello Danieltannenbaum,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Call Wiser Insurance for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheLongTone (talk) 15:31, 20 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello Danieltannenbaum, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 220 of Borg 11:44, 21 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Daniel Green edit

Please do not replace an existing article or page on Wikipedia with a completely different article, as you did on Daniel Green. Read WP:TITLE to learn about our naming policies and conventions, and ask for help when you run into difficulties. There are many important links in the welcome message above; please make use of them. — Gorthian (talk) 22:22, 27 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Gorthian, I never replaced an existing article, I just uploaded a new one and made amendments to it - why has it been deleted?
You replaced the content that was at Daniel Green with an article on a specific Daniel Green. The page there is what we call a disambiguation page. It's there so that someone searching Wikipedia for "Daniel Green" will land on that page, which lists all of the articles in Wikipedia that are about different people with that name, and they can click on the article they want. It's an important navigation aid.
I didn't delete the article—I reverted all the edits you made so that the page looks like it did before you edited it. All edits made to pages on Wikipedia are preserved in the edit history of articles; if you go to Daniel Green and click the tag that says "view history", it will show all the edits made to that page. Read Help:Page history to find out how to use that page.
And PLEASE read Wikipedia:Your first article before doing anything more. The process of writing and submitting an article for Wikipedia is not as straightforward as it looks. I highly recommend browsing around Wikipedia and making small corrections that you see are needed (spelling, typos, etc.). As you go, you'll learn more about how the encyclopedia works, and get a better idea of what is needed when writing an article. — Gorthian (talk) 20:26, 28 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Gorthian, thank you for help. I see what I have done and apologise for this. Can you please help me get the article reinstated for Daniel Green. Maybe it can be Daniel_Green_(Business)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

First things first: when you post on a talk page, always sign your comments by typing "~~~~" (that's four tildes) at the end. That automatically adds the time, date, and your user name.
I have posted a question for you at the Teahouse about how best to proceed. I have very little experience with new articles, and this situation is different than most.— Gorthian (talk) 17:37, 29 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of LAPADA edit

 

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 LAPADA requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion edit

Undisclosed paid editing edit

 

Hello Danieltannenbaum. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. 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.
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, 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:Danieltannenbaum. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Danieltannenbaum|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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:17, 26 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

July 2017 edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at User talk:Drm310, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:39, 26 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest and notability guidelines. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:15, 26 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:MT Finance edit

 

Hello, Danieltannenbaum. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "MT Finance".

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. JMHamo (talk) 09:55, 27 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
