Speedy deletion nomination of Gramercy, Hong Kong

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 Gramercy, Hong Kong, 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, product, group, service or person 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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Orphaned non-free image File:Aedas logo.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Aedas logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 23:24, 1 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

edit

  This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. Brianhe (talk) 20:53, 31 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Whywhy99. 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. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Citobun (talk) 03:36, 22 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I have read thru all pages suggested neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies and am clear on everything now. Thank you for guiding me thru. I am a student who is interested in arts and science related topics and not getting paid by editing them. Perhaps this message can be removed? Whywhy99 (talk) 02:21, 22 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Reminder

edit

You need to disclose any WP:COI. Citobun (talk) 07:26, 4 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello Citobun. This is to confirm that I do not have WP:COI. I am not have any benefits from editing posts here. Whywhy99 (talk) 02:23, 22 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello Whywhy99. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, 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:Whywhy99. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Whywhy99|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Jytdog (talk) 22:46, 3 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

No I am not being compensated by anyone editing posts. I am a student who is interested in arts and science hence like to research about related topics --Whywhy99 (talk) 02:11, 22 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Aedas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Middle Island (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:29, 22 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Aedas. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Citobun (talk) 10:31, 23 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

What about the images I inserted? It's no longer considered to be 'sandwich'. I will put it back shall you do not have further concerns. I also have left message on your talk page before but no response. Please advice.Whywhy99 (talk) 02:46, 24 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Blocked for sockpuppetry

edit
 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Whywhy99 (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I edited on different articles on different categories since the day the account was created. For all information I edited were facts with citations and not promotional contents. I welcome any constructive suggestions on improvements at all time. I put suggestions on talk page based on Help:Maintenance template removal. I must stress again that I am only a single account user with no benefits received from any party. I do NOT work with / know any other users at all. The assumption being made is clearly an unreasonable accuse.

Decline reason:

So sorry. I cannot unblock you at this time. This is a WP:check user block. AS BMK has said, check users can see an incredible amount of detail about each account you have used. Please read the section of the WP:GAB pertaining to checkuser blocks carefully. A further problem is you seem to be writing about a particular company and its people while removing content from articles about competitors. You'll need to affirm that you will find something else to write about. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:58, 25 January 2019 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

  • Perhaps you don't understand, Bbb23 is a CheckUser, an admin with special rights who can see behind the accounts used for editing to determine whether the same person is operating those accounts abusively, which is a violation of our WP:Sockpuppetry policy. He has determined that you are using 4 other accounts, and blocked them all as well as you. While CheckUsers sometimes make mistakes, Bbb23 is one of our very best, and it's highly unlikely that he is mistaken, so it really is useless to ask for an unblock on the basis that you are "only a single account user." In any event, only a CheckUser can unblock an editor blocked by a CheckUser. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:41, 25 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
