Seeking help
[edit]Hi,
I am a first time writer on wikipedia and my page was taken down 5 times. I noticed the peer review section that could help me with this. I'd be truly grateful if you could help me out.

- Hi Shamlan propertyweb, it is highly likely that you are a promotional account designed to advertise a particular service - probably Shamlan property. Those type of advertisments are not accepted as parts of Wikipedia, so that is why your page was taken down. Please feel free to contribute in other ways to our encyclopedia though - I'd suggest Wikipedia:ADVENTURE as a good place to start. Cheers --Tom (LT) (talk) 08:55, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Tom (LT),
Thanks a lot for the response. Is it because of my user name that the page was taken down? Because it hints at being considered being promotional? Is my content in par with wiki's standards or is there a problem with that as well? I have made sure to cite third party references and write as neutrally as possible too. So I don't really understand why it keeps getting denied... Please help me with this.

- I'm sorry. Firstly, I worry based on your username that you might have a conflict of interest. Secondly, it's probably because the article was not considered to be notable enough. Lastly, I'd advise you to create future articles by article for creation - this might help you address concerns as they arise. Cheers, --Tom (LT) (talk) 09:22, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Lanka Property Web
[edit]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:Lanka Property Web, 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.

[edit]Hello Shamlan propertyweb. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Lanka Property Web, 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:Shamlan propertyweb. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Shamlan propertyweb|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. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:55, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Justlettersandnumbers
I have included the paid disclosure on my talk page. And I am not aware of that user. Shamlan propertyweb (talk) 10:18, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
