Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (February 28)

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

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 User:Skem first/sandbox 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. Please go to User:Skem first/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

February 2022

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 Wikipedia: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|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. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 16:09, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Dave Beeston (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I am new to Wikipedia and am not conversant with the rules and regulations - apologies if my choice of original name was in breach of regulations

Decline reason:

If you wish to use your real name, you can, although we advise against it. Note that your username is only one small aspect of the block, you need to address your inappropriate edits. 331dot (talk) 20:22, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

I have no financial interest in the subject I wish to write about. I don't know how to edit the other issues you mention?

Decline reason:

Financial interest or not, you clearly have a conflict of interest; see WP:COI. This is based on you personally owning the copyright to the logo, File:Skem first logo.jpg. Yamla (talk) 21:22, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am a new user and I'm trying to resolve the issue that have caused you to block this account - including a name change request. I am unable to delete the copyrighted image you complain about because your page simply won't allow me to? For you to block my IP address is a little excessive don't you think? May be a little friendly advice on how to use your system wouldn't go a miss - because, lets' be honest - it's hardly intuitive is it?

Decline reason:

The IP address being blocked is somewhat key, as otherwise you'd have just broken your block restrictions, which would have made it very hard to appeal in the future. Blocked users can only edit their user talk page (this page). More generally, deleting the logo wouldn't inherently remove the COI (you'd still clearly have your link to the topic), though it's possible it might reduce the actual execution of any issue. Finally, yes, we definitely aren't intuitive, especially in aspects such as imagery. That said, we can provide lots of friendly advice at places like the WP:Teahouse, but you'd need to be unblocked first. Nosebagbear (talk) 09:56, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
