Welcome![edit]

Hello, Timtanman, 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:Momni, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. 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:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Momni[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:Momni, 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) 01:52, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May 2019[edit]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:49, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Timtanman. 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, and if it does not, 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:Timtanman. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Timtanman|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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:49, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

Thank you for replying to my conflict of interest. Even if you don't have a COI, that doesn't mean you can write what you like, you must follow the guidance below.

you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Several of your sources seem to be interviews or otherwise not independent sources. Local publications are usually not significant enough anyway.
The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:

significant coverage in
independent,
multiple,
reliable,
secondary sources.

Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability. I can't see any indication that this meets the notability criteria linked above. You have nothing on its staffing, income, expenditure on anything else that makes it more than just another local group. I suspect this simply isn't notable enough for a Wikipedia article

you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, without unsourced claims such as it's "affordable and safe"
there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:47, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

July 2019[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. MER-C 11:10, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Timtanman (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

To whomever is reading this, Thank you for taking the time to read this appeal. As I'm sure you can see I was blocked for "covert advertising". I have heard about the Momni company over the internet and thought that it was a great idea, and that it was notable enough to be on Wikipedia seeing that it is a multi million dollar company. This is my first time making an article, so of course the first drafts that I attempted to publish did not follow all of the guidelines, but I learned and studied them as I hope to be making more articles for the site in the future. I fine tuned the article so it would meet the standards of this site and eventually it was published, and was up for a few weeks as well. I'm just not sure why someone would delete the page I worked so hard on to make it acceptable. I was hoping to write more articles but this really put me off. I'm disappointed in the community when I try to put up a completely viable page, that is very similar in nature to Airbnb, and it gets taken down. I'm not being paid for this, I just think that it was worth putting up on this site. I would ask respectfully to be unblocked so I may move the Momni article back onto being an article. Thank you for your time and I hope your understanding as well.

Decline reason:

User unresponsive. You may make a new request if you want to answer the questions below. 331dot (talk) 16:06, 23 July 2019 (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.

What is your relationship to User talk:SlushyOrangutan, who appears to share your interest in Momni? --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 21:59, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) So you learned that the company was a multimillion dollar company just in hearing about it? What other articles do you want to potentially write? Please review the notability criteria for businesses; the sources offered in your draft are routine business announcements that do not establish notability. 331dot (talk) 22:02, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Momni[edit]

Hello, Timtanman. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Momni".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Lapablo (talk) 21:31, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
