Hill Glider article

Hello, Bildakid, I noticed your hill glider article deletion. First bit of advice: do not despair or get angry! The standards for articles are not intended to push you away.

Please understand that it is not unusual for new users to join Wikipedia and try to create an article concerning a subject they care about deeply. In point of fact, it is how a great number of established editors and administrators started. The community rarely tries to actively drive off new users.

That said, it is undoubtedly frustrating for new users to read "Anyone can edit" as a promise from the site, and then be told over and over again that their edits are not wanted. That's not exactly what's happening, but I know that's what it feels like.

The basic issue is this: Wikipedia has, over the course of many discussions, reached three decisions that affect you personally: 1) People directly connected to an article's subject should not be the ones to make the biggest contributions to that article, 2) There need to be significant, independent, verifiable sources to each claim an article makes, and 3) Hiring PR firms or others to write an article about you is a violation of the trust editors place in one another. There are good reasons for this site to have made those decisions, but they can easily feel discriminatory to those caught against them.

I suggest you might want to request another editor to create the article for you.

Click This Link.
Click the link in the Table of Contents for the category of article you would like created.
Click the link for the the section heading that most closely applies to your article.
Hold down the Shift and Alt keys and hit the "E" key (this brings up the edit window).
Find a blank space under the subsection heading you think is applicable. These are set off from the main text by rows of equal signs on either side. For example the "North America" subsection heading for "History" looks like this: ==North America==
Start a new request with a blank line.
Type * {{req|MISSING_ARTICLE_NAME}} and replace "MISSING_ARTICLE_NAME" with the article name you think needs to be added.
Add more information about what the the article is about, what the issue is, why it matters, and whatever links about the article you can supply.
Finish your posting by typing four tilde characters in a row to sign your post. Like this: ~~~~
Below the main text box is a smaller one that has the label "Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)". Type something like: "requesting new article about ..."
Click "Show Preview" to make sure it looks good.
Scroll all the way back down to the bottom where you will see the edit window again.
Make any changes necessary
Click "Save Changes"

I can't guarantee that this will get your article created, but it may be your best shot. Cheers. (talk) (contrib) 15:35, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Eggishorn Thank you so much for this, I am very new to Wikipedia and want to make sure I'm doing things correctly. I will follow your steps and I'm sure it will work out. Thanks keep a look out for my invention

I'm glad to have helped. As for keeping an eye out, I'm well over 40 and have previously greatly damaged my ankles. I think I'll pass. Good luck. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 04:56, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Bildakid. 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, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the 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 take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 20:43, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bildakid. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. 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.
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, 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:Bildakid. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Bildakid|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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. — JJMC89 (T·C) 20:43, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
