User talk:Fast Forward Marketing

November 2022[edit]

Hello Fast Forward Marketing. The nature of your edits 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:Fast Forward Marketing. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Fast Forward Marketing|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. Uhai (talk) 08:58, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

not paid Fast Forward Marketing (talk) 09:33, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Would you care to explain how there is a company called Fast Forward Marketing whose listed address is located on the same street and in the same city and country as the listed address for Montecasino, an article that you have made extremely promotional-sounding edits to, e.g. this one, which reads like prose from a brochure?

On https://ffrwd.co.za/: The Pivot, Block E, 4th Floor, 1 Montecasino Boulevard Fourways, Gauteng

On https://www.montecasino.co.za/: Montecasino Boulevard, Fourways, 2055, South Africa

If you are a compensated employee of Fast Forward Marketing, and the companies whose articles you have been making edits to are paying clients of this company, then this constitutes paid editing whether or not you have been explicitly asked to edit Wikipedia. If this is pro bono work done by your company or there is some other explanation for how your edits cannot be considered paid editing, then there is still a serious Wikipedia:Conflict of interest here and I highly recommend you cease editing of these articles.

On top of this, regardless of everything else, your username is a violation of Wikipedia's policy. I am posting a notice below with information about actions you need to take. Uhai (talk) 09:15, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Fast Forward Marketing", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it implies shared use. Shared accounts are against Wikipedia's policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Silverstar Casino (November 22)[edit]

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

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.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. 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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Silverstar Casino 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.

See you there! Storchy (talk) 11:03, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022[edit]

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 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. Glen (talk) 08:27, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Silverstar Casino[edit]

Your draft article, Draft:Silverstar Casino[edit]

Hello, Fast Forward Marketing. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Silverstar Casino".
