Speedy deletion nomination of Bob Ulrich (Mayor) edit

Hello PageEditor2000,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Bob Ulrich (Mayor) for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

September 2022 edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Harder Hall, you may be blocked from editing. Bbb23 (talk) 23:51, 29 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please cite specifically where neutrality has been breached on the page. This is not "disruptive editing". I have given dozens of in line citations to every single sentence and fact displayed. There is complete neutrality and point of view, backed by citations, brought to a page that had been recently cleared due to lack of citation. I anticipate and appreciate your response.

Welcome! edit

Hello, PageEditor2000, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

So here is the thing. You write up Draft:Robert G. Blackmon, a highly promotional draft of an article on a politician/real estate person, and then you add a whole bunch of stuff to Harder Hall that User:Bbb23 and I both thought was promotional--and it turns out that Blackmon is the current owner of Harder Hall. I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but I'm left with only two questions--first, whether you simply are Blackmon or just work for him, and, second, regardless of who you are, whether you will properly declare that conflict of interest here on your talk page, and elsewhere according to the best practices laid out in the pages linked in the above template. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 15:04, 30 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

What should I do? I did not mean to make either one promotional. I am neither, by the way. I also attempted to make a page for "Bob Ulrich (mayor)" as a stub to come back to after the Harder Hall page, though it was flagged as well. That was my next endeavor, which I had planned to tackle next week. And I was planning to next develop the "Rudy Bradley (state representative)" page. Each page that I do takes me about a day. I have a deep appreciation and knowledge for Florida politics and history. Of course, I do know of all of these individuals- that is how I have the information. But now I seem to have hit a stumbling block.
I cited all resources and did not want to be disparaging in my writeups, as I know that is a violation; anything "positive" is because that is how it is presented in the press. To go negative would be opinion, typically. But I spent multiple days on the first two drafts, only to have the Harder Hall one be flagged. It was previously deleted because whatever former version was up was without citations (which I had nothing to do with). The citation at the top said it needed more points of reference and citations, so I did just that over a multi hour period.
I truly did not see the promotional nature of that edited article. I used the Vinoy Hotel and Don Cesar Hotel wikipedia pages as templates for the Harder Hall page; both of those have wild claims on them with no substantiation or documentation. I attempted to avoid that.
I used the Rick Kriseman, Rick Baker (mayor) and Ken Welch wikipedia pages for references to the Robert Blackmon page. I cited every single sentence in both of those articles (including the third article I had flagged, for Bob Ulrich, though I predominantly used two articles and just attributed quotation marks to them- that is a different story).
But nonetheless I am trying to learn. Though it is difficult. What should I do to make the Harder Hall article palatable? It says it is a stub that needs expanding, and I tried to do so with thorough in line citations over the course of a 100 year period. But now that I have done so, you have said it is too positive. I don't know what I can do to make it more "negative" or "neutral" when every line is cited from a reputable news source. But I do appreciate the help, sincerely!
