User talk:Burlman54

November 2020

Hello Burlman54. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Motion RC, 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:Burlman54. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Burlman54|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. SK2242 (talk) 21:01, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. Just noticed other big RC companies had pages and they didn't. I am a hobbyist and noticed some missing/dated info on other radio control pages and thats when I figured I'd try to make my first page--Burlman54 (talk) 21:27, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alright then. Thank you for the swift reply. SK2242 (talk) 21:39, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Motion RC (December 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by 4thfile4thrank 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

One example: "Motion RC sells products in about 30 countries. Corporate headquarters, along with the main US distribution facilities and product service center, are located in Cary, Illinois. In 2018, Motion RC expanded into the EU by opening a distribution facility in Breukelen, Netherlands as well as launching a separate website www.motionrc.eu"

Hello, Burlman54! Having an article 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! 4thfile4thrank (talk) 13:10, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

okay. I will continue working on it, I just figured more info was better than little. I see 2 other hobby companies have wiki pages with minimal info, so trying to discern what makes those acceptable if you could help? Horizon Hobby and HobbyKing are just as prominent in the RC community, but those pages have dead links and links to their own pages etc. Overall its fun to search and edit wiki especially in a field you have knowledge of.--Burlman54 (talk) 00:16, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ƒirefly, Is there anyway you can elaborate a bit more for me? Where does it read like an advertisement? The only things left are facts about this company with references from the most notable publications within the RC industry like the Academy of Model Aeronautics and Model Airplane News. I used the template from other notable RC companies that have approved Wiki pages like Horizon Hobby and HobbyKing. Not sure exactly where this doesn't work? --Burlman54 (talk) 22:55, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Motion RC (February 25)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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.
