User talk:Bill3602

Welcome!

Hello, Bill3602, 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!

Use of non-free files on Draft:Political violence in the United States during the Cold War

Please be aware of our policy on the use of non-free media. In particular, the use of such media outside of actual, live articles is no permitted, per the 9th element of that policy. Even if this were accepted as an article, the use you are attempting would never be permitted. We do not iconicize non-free images to put them into infoboxes as you are attempting. Further, even if that were acceptable, you'd have to add a rationale for every use of non-free media in addition to the rationales already on the image description pages, and such rationales would never be acceptable because of the nature of their use. Please stop restoring non-free images to the draft. You are effectively edit warring with a bot that removes such images from non-articles. If you have questions, let me know. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 02:36, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

August 2023

Hello, I'm ObserveOwl. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kai Cenat Union Square giveaway, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ObserveOwl (talk) 18:55, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CS1 error on Political violence in the United States during the Cold War

Your submission at Articles for creation: List of people killed during the 2020–23 United States racial unrest (August 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at List of people killed during the 2020–23 United States racial unrest instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion.

If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

This draft is either essentially the same as the article with the same name, or a subset of the article with the same name. The draft will be replaced by a redirect from draft space to the article.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:List of people killed during the 2020–23 United States racial unrest and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

I wened a head and created some of my drafts because I didn't realize that normal users were still able to do so. I had though that was removed at some point sorry.--Bill3602 (talk) 21:42, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Bill3602! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 21:33, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
