Welcome!

Hello, Dsalinasgardon, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

Mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements

Hello Dsalinasgardon. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Raw Engineering, 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:Dsalinasgardon. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Dsalinasgardon|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. Template:Z159 ☆ Bri (talk) 16:28, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of material on Contenstack

I noticed you removed some material that looked pretty well sourced. I put it back in and asked you to share your reason for removing it... and was disappointed to see you took it out again without comment.

I would really like to hear your thoughts on why you feel this doesn't belong on that article, please share them on the talk page here [[1]] TantraYum (talk) 03:27, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I honestly don't recall any previous conversation. You could be right and I might've done something wrong. Could you please help me remembering? Dsalinasgardon (talk) 04:21, 28 April 2018 (UTC)Dsalinasgardon[reply]

Hi- thanks for responding!

My appologies- my language was a bit imprecise- I asked in an edit summary, not directly to you.

Still very curious to hear your thoughts on the material you removed..... we can dialogue on the article talk page. TantraYum (talk) 21:12, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Technobabble bullshit

Hi. Forgive the sarcasm, but is there any chance you could create articles, as you did at Five9, that normal human beings can understand? Rather than use terms only marketeers can follow, it would be nice if editors keen to promote a topic were capable of dropping the hype and reverting to normal plain English, and not copy the phraseology of the company website. Please delete all content that has not been reliably described by independent sources. Just an 'external link' to the company website will suffice for those who want the full monty. Many thanks. Nick Moyes (talk) 00:56, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Totally, Nick. I'll add more independent sources. Forgive me if I added too many buzzowrds. I hate those myself :/. Dsalinasgardon (talk) 01:09, 24 May 2018 (UTC)dsalinasgardon[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Five9

Hello Dsalinasgardon,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Five9 for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

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.

Hi, SamHolt6

Here I state the reasons why I think this page shouldn't be deleted.

First, I believe SaaS companies deserve a space in the Wiki because customers and consumers need a place to inform themselves and get knowledge about the products and services from a netral source. In a way, letting these articles be part of the Wiki protects people like us from falling prey of terrible products and services.

If I didn't comply or used overtly-promotional language, that wasn't my intention or idea. I'll revise the article until it's done.

It might be true that it uses buzzwords and "technobabble" as other editor pointed, but it's sometimes hard to not use those terms, especially because they are super ubiquitous and seep into my language. I'll try and fix those issues tomorrow. If I closely paraphrased something, it wasn't my intention either. I understand Wikipedia's need for neutral, encyclopedic content and will revise those instances and follow the rules. I might've acted too fast and added the page just too quickly,

Similarly, if the article lacks sources, that's something I could also fix and improve, there are many sources out there for me to find and I will do it. In my defense, I followed the template of this software's competitors to create this wiki. I didn't know that might lead to a deletion notice.

Paid editing disclosure

Because it appears that you have edited several articles on behalf of clients, and because it is required that you identify every article where you have done so, I advise you to use the following code on your userpage:

{{paid|employer=[[Shift Communications]]|userbox=yes|list=yes|articles=
* [[A]]
* [[B]]
* [[C]]
* [[D]]
}}

where A, B, etc. is the title of each article that you have edited for a client.

I also advise you to place the following on the talk page of each of the affected articles:

{{connected contributor (paid)
|User1=Dsalinasgardon |U1-employer=[[Shift Communications]] |U1-client=article title |U1-EH=yes |U1-otherlinks=Disclosure on user page.
}}

Using Wikipedia for promotion

Thank you for disclosing your conflict of interest. However, the Built.io and Contentstack articles were irretrievably promotional in their content, and would have required complete rewrites to be suitable for inclusion here. I have therefore deleted them per WP:CSD#G11. SmartSE (talk) 08:23, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Contentstack

Hello Dsalinasgardon,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Contentstack for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

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.

Paid 2

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:Dsalinasgardon, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Dsalinasgardon|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Template:Z160

Note specifically that you need to disclose on an article by article basis on your user page. See User_talk:Dsalinasgardon#Paid_editing_disclosure for details. jcc (tea and biscuits) 23:49, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Totally, I'm on it :)
