Your submission at Articles for creation: Muslim Pro (app) (January 15)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Muslim Pro (app) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Muslim Pro (app), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Declare any connection

Hi,

Please find my following response:

I'm an Employee of Bitsmedia, which is the parent company for the Muslim Pro app.
The purpose of putting up a wiki page for Muslim Pro has nothing to do with any sort of advertising or promotions. It is because of the number of users that our app has (121 million) and how we want them to have a proper understanding of what Muslim Pro is from the perspective of others.
We simply wanted to kickstart the process and eventually get edits from the general public so that there is information provided about Muslim Pro from the majority.
I submitted this in our own capacity instead of putting it up for 'articles for creation' is because this is a religious utility app and we wanted it to start off from the right perspective, in case it cause issues within the community if different people proposed its existence differently.

I hope this clarifies. It would be very grateful if you can lead me in the right path moving forward. We also have no issues with all disclosures.

Apologies if my reply is not in the right format as I'm quite unfamiliar with the formatting here.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Bitsmedia. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Muslim Pro (app), 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:Bitsmedia. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Bitsmedia|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. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:44, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Muslim Pro (app) (February 13)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

For example, the phrase "Muslim Pro’s rapid uptake can be attributed to the focus on software development to create a better, more simplified user experience;" is not supported by the source. Much of the remaining content is problematically unsourced.

Thank you for acceptance of the new username. I will henceforth comply by the guidelines of the COI and WP contribution. If there is a need to edit, than will request for changes and not directly edit myself. I love what wikipedia offers the world in the bigger picture and like to contribute to other articles if something engages me. I am looking into writing with regards to futurist movements and new technologies if something is not already listed. I am exploring what is new and is not yet written, Bitsmedia (talk) 06:25, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AfC notification: Draft:Muslim Pro (app) has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Muslim Pro (app). Thanks! DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:09, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing! Re your comment:

Comment: FWIW, I think this is quite an interesting app, and possibly even notable, but I will not do a proper analysis of the sources, because I couldn't approve the draft in its present state. If the author can rewrite this in a neutral, factual tone, instead of sounding like it came from the marketing department, I'm happy to take another look. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:09, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could you specify which sections/sub-sections should be edited? I've significantly revised the entire copy down but will need a clearer and detailed feedback what exactly needs to be revised. Thank you. Bitsmedia (talk) 10:55, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can I get updates on this please? Thank you. Bitsmedia (talk) 07:36, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DoubleGazing, have made all the changes without source support or anything that feels as if it was written from a marketing rather than a factual standpoint. totally understand your issue with it. Its been some time since your last input, really looking forward to hearing your feedback. Bitsmedia (talk) 08:50, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

June 2022

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. GeneralNotability (talk) 15:00, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have been trying to respond to the messages or comments that the page has gotten from other admins. I am not able ot even reply to the comments because of this block. The new username was accepted, but the block has not been lifted.

Not sure how I I can make my case if i Am not able to reply. Please let me know how I can move forward. Bitsmedia (talk) 05:07, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

bungamawar889 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

The account under which I had initially started was when I was new to writing in for wiki. So, I had created the username under the company name thinking it needed to be relevant. Somehow, there was a paid contribution tag that came about with more rigorous guidelines. I had followed through with the guidelines after which. Bitsmedia (talk) 07:57, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your choice of new username would be acceptable. Please tell us in another request how you will comply with guidelines like WP:COI and WP:PAID going forward, and also describe any subjects unrelated to your company or its products that you might edit about. 331dot (talk) 08:58, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for acceptance of the new username. I will henceforth comply by the guidelines of the COI and WP contribution.

Hi, I am still blocked and am not able ot respond to the comments on the talk page. This app is the most downloaded app in the global islam community. And I need to be able to make my case with alot of the responses which are not true. Please let me know a resolution.
