National varieties of English

[edit]

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. KNHaw (talk) 18:52, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Changing spellings

[edit]

Hello. I see that back in July you were asked not to change spellings between variants such as customise and customize. I'm a bit confused as to why you would come back today and do more of the same. Having a second go risks making you look like a hostile editor who won't cooperate with the way we work, which I am sure is not really correct. There is so much more to do here than worry about colour and color - why not look for other fields to work in? If you are stuck with getting started, it's a very good idea to visit the WP:TEAHOUSE where you can ask questions and get help. I hope this is useful. Happy editing and best wishes DBaK (talk) 16:39, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, Iamlwright22. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page MySmartSite, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 17:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article you created

[edit]

I have moved the article you created back to draft space, as it is nowhere near ready to become an article. The alternative would have been for the article to be deleted, as there is no evidence that it satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and it is also unmistakably promotional in tone. In fact I think it might well have been better to have deleted the article, but I decided to give it the benefit of what little doubt there is. I have searched for evidence of satisfying the notability guidelines, but found none, so it is virtually certain that it doesn't. If you can, however, find substantial coverage in reliable sources independent of the business, then you may be able to demonstrate notability. If you do so, then don't move it back yourself to main space as an article, but submit it for review by an indepoendent editor, in accordance with the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process. I also don't recommend submitting it until it is written in a less promotional tone. JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 17:23, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Wix.com into Draft:MySmartSite. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:02, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:MySmartSite

[edit]

Hello, Iamlwright22. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "MySmartSite".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 02:51, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
