Hello, Shanechew, 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 User:Shanechew/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at the our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

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 ask me on my talk page or you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Hi, I would like to ask if this is the correct way to disclose that I am an employee writing about MR.DIY.

Thank you for your help Shanechew (talk) 01:24, 24 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yep. Place it on your user page. SK2242 (talk) 03:20, 24 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Got it! And thank you for your help. I have updated on the user page. Is there anything else in the sandbox article that needs to change or not following the guidelines? Shanechew (talk) 06:06, 24 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

No problem. Regarding the sandbox there are some parts that are too promotional, for example "MR.DOLLAR’s vision is to be the dollar store of choice in Malaysia and its mission is to uplift the shopping experience through in-store layout improvement, to offer a wide product range so it provides customers greater convenience and more savings with every purchase.". SK2242 (talk) 06:43, 24 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Noted on that. I have made some amendments on the article to remove promotional content. Shanechew (talk) 07:24, 24 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Shanechew/sandbox

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 User:Shanechew/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello Shanechew. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to User:Shanechew/sandbox, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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:Shanechew. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Shanechew|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, do not edit further until you answer this message. SK2242 (talk) 08:49, 18 November 2020 (UTC)Reply



 User:Shanechew/sandbox has been deleted
Hello, Shanechew. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia.  User:Shanechew/sandbox has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD#G11, as it was seen as unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see this page on citing sources. This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{references}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE --Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:54, 18 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

 

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Shanechew, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Shanechew|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. SK2242 (talk) 12:31, 23 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, which section of this page should be rewritten in order for this page to be published? Shanechew (talk) 01:26, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

I see you recreated the same promotional article in the sandbox in essentially the same form as it was deleted. This is totally unacceptable, and I have deleted it once more.

You ask me above what part was promotional  : the entire article would have done very well for an advertisement or a web page, but was wholly inappropriate for an encyclopedia . If an article on the subject is possible, it must be written by someone not affiliated with the store. It is possible for a paid COI editor to write an acceptable article, but experience shows that it is extremely rare. DGG ( talk ) 05:51, 28 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

I thank you for your cooperative attitude. I urge you to consider making real contributions of subjects of interest ot you that are very clearly notable, and where you have good referneces--and no coi. Use draft space, and don't copy anything previously published. DGG ( talk ) 11:21, 11 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
