  Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mineski, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Mskilight", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Your name, MineSkilight, suggests that you may be involved with this organization. Please consider if it is appropriate for you to be editing by visiting the conflict of interest policy pages. Hasteur (talk) 18:36, 5 July 2013 (UTC)Reply


Greetings sir, I've already requested for a username change. Mskilight (talk) 11:52, 8 July 2013 (GMT+8)

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mineski, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Your draft article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mineski

edit
 

Hello XOxO214. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Mineski".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mineski}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 10:00, 31 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
