Your submission at Articles for creation: The BIG Jobsite (June 4)[edit]

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 Draft:The BIG Jobsite 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.

June 2024[edit]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
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; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to 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 still available.

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|reason=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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

dbradshaw78 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I have changed the username so it no longer reflects the corporate entity I work for. I do intend to create a page about the company I work for, but only to include it as others have for reference to the organisation and to allow to me link to it from other pages such as your list of employment websites, of which we are one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_employment_websites

Decline reason:

This does not address your violation of WP:COI and WP:PROMO. Wikipedia isn't the place to tell the world about your business. If this is your only goal here, this is the end of the line. Yamla (talk) 15:16, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yamla - thanks for the response. I'm not really clear how I am violating those policies though.

By rejecting my name change to something which is personal to me, rather than associated to the business I work for, am I not disassociating myself from the business and therefore coming in line with the violation policies? Thebigjobsite (talk) 16:05, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good start, but it's not sufficient. You seem to think Wikipedia is the place to tell the world about your business. It isn't. Wikipedia is not a business directory. See WP:NOT. --Yamla (talk) 16:59, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
