Welcome!

Hello, SCopeland97, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Amulet Hotkey page, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Amulet Hotkey page

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Amulet Hotkey page, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. creffett (talk) 18:55, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

April 2020

Hello SCopeland97. 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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:SCopeland97. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=SCopeland97|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. creffett (talk) 19:00, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, SCopeland97! 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! Robert McClenon (talk) 19:13, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Two things

I put the Paid declaration on your User page, which is where it belongs. You CAN create a draft as an employee. And then submit it to Articles for Creation, for review. IF it is accepted, going forward after that a paid editor is supposed to no longer edit the article directly, and so instead propose changes at the Talk page of the article, which another editor will either implement or decline. Second, your draft is heading toward Speedy deletion as promotional, so make sure to copy all you want to save into your Sandbox, so you can try to major change and resubmit.

An important thing

What Amulet Hotkey wants to say about itself has no place in an article. All that can be written is what other, independent people have written about AH. Words like powerful, reliable, custom solution, precise customer requirements, enterprise-class, mission-critical, commitment to quality, etc., have no place in the article. You only path toward writing neutral point of view is to act as if you have never heard of AH, and are paraphrasing what you find that others have written about the company. All that, and you might get to having your next attempt Declined rather than Speedy. David notMD (talk) 19:54, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation, I really appreciate it. I have a locally saved version of the article so I will work to edit out that language before I resubmit. Also, thank you for fixing the location of the PAID declaration and explaining that, I really had no idea what I was doing. SCopeland97 (talk) 18:30, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Amulet Hotkey page (April 30)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

I feel that this is the appropriate method, not speedy.

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:Amulet Hotkey page 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.
