User talk:Mike Uptimise

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy, which is summarized here.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Thank you.

Re: Your edits to Value engineering[edit]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! I wanted to touch base with you on your edits to Value engineering before taking any action on it, but I wanted to reach out and let you know that your edits have introduced more than a few grammatical, as well as capitalization errors. I'm going to revert to the edits for now, and I would recommend editing in the sandbox for a major rewrite like this to avoid making real-time edits to the public facing page.

Hi Nigel,

I have invested significant time in the content that is proposed, and would welcome insights to address the grammatical & capitalisation issues that you mention - so that my work is not lost. How can I edit the last update that I saved, to publish this in consideration of your concerns please?

Thank you,

Hi Mike, you are able to view your edits by looking at your past review here! You can create your sandbox here and work on the page there without affecting the current public page! There are quite a bit, just to call out the capitalization of Cost Cutting, Stainless-Steel and a few others in the article. Also, by working in the sandbox, you're not having to keep making new edits over and over, saving a bit of time for you as well!

Glad to have you here, excited to read your changes once you're satisfied with it! Nigel757 (talk) 01:58, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also just to add on as well, the single sentence paragraphs introduced as well as the formula as it's own paragraph. Hope this helps! Nigel757 (talk) 02:00, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Nigel,

Thank you for your suggestions.

I attempted to create a Sandbox, though am unaware if this eventuated as you wished? Likewise, I have addressed the grammatical points in good faith, though am limited by familiarity with the contribution process within Wikipedia.

In short, I request your assistance to finalise any outstanding issues, so the update can be published please Nigel.

Best Regards,

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (May 13)[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 TechnoSquirrel69 were:

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.

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

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 User:Mike Uptimise/sandbox 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.
