User talk:Poppodoms

Welcome!

Hello, Poppodoms, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

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. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Hello Poppodoms. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to HarmonyOS, 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are 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 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:Poppodoms. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Poppodoms|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. Amigao (talk) 03:06, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello Amigao,

I understand the importance of transparency and adhering to the Wikimedia Terms of Use. I am not receiving any direct or indirect compensation for my edits. My contributions are made in good faith to share knowledge and improve the content on Wikipedia. I appreciate your vigilance in maintaining the integrity of this platform.

Best,

Minor means minor

Tags edits as Minor only if comply with MINOR rules. David notMD (talk) 04:36, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello David notMD,

Thank you for your guidance on marking edits as minor. I understand that minor edits should only be used for changes that are unlikely to be disputed, such as spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without content modification. I will ensure to comply with these rules in my future contributions.

I appreciate your patience and support in helping me become a better contributor to Wikipedia.

Best,

Poppodoms Poppodoms (talk) 09:17, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Please take a moment to read Help:Minor edit, as you have continued to mark edits as minor that are not minor edits. This edit to EulerOS and this edit to Template:Web browsers are not minor edits, for example. - Aoidh (talk) 21:25, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

I get it now, I am learning. I apologise for that. Poppodoms (talk) 23:05, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of ArkWeb

The article ArkWeb has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable. Not a single of the references mentions an "ArkWeb engine", nor does a web search reveal anything about it. (And it's unrelated to the Arc browser).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Pmffl (talk) 01:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

I apologise for the inconvenience, I have improved the source of the page, by adding a source that confirms the browser engine existence and I made sure there is a distinction by moving from "ArkWeb" to "ArkWeb (browser engine)" from the unrelated Arc (web browser). I removed the "proposed deletion/dated" because it's no longer necessary. I will continue to improve the page with citations. Thank you for notifying me.

Nweb (software engine) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Nweb (software engine). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Padgriffin ^{Griffin's Nest} 05:21, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for that. No worries! :) Poppodoms (talk) 09:59, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Confusing writing, lack of edit summaries

Hi there! While I appreciate your clear technical expertise and eagerness to contribute here, I've just spent a lot of time cleaning up articles you created and I think there's much more to be done.

Your recent technology articles are full of content that is inappropriate for Wikipedia in various ways: some of it is technical documentation so in-depth it only belongs on manpages for the tools themselves, some of it is too promotional like an advertisement, and huge chunks of the writing are sentence fragments that are incomplete, not just grammatically, but in terms of delivering any meaning at all.

I would ask that you use the Articles for Creation process to save volunteers time here, as many of your published articles have been tagged after the fact for cleanup or even deletion. It would benefit you to slow down as well, because then your hard work won't be deleted!

Let me know if you'd like me to share some examples of the more concerning things I found and why they are a problem for Wikipedia, I'd be happy to do so.

If you're interested in collaborating, I have almost 20 years' experience as an English language editor, but am a bit of a noob in a lot of the topics you're writing about (I taught Docker deployment at the grad level, so I understand core computing concepts and architecture, but I'm pretty rusty on what's being built now!) so I would be happy to read drafts as you work on them and give feedback/ask for clarification where needed. If we do something like that, it means we can work out any problems before the wider readership of en.wiki clicks through to the content, and make sure it's accessible to as many people as possible!

Finally, I want to point out that some of the reason it is hard to follow the reasoning in your edits is that you do not include edit summaries with them. Edit summaries are not just useful to the encyclopedia, they are polite to your fellow editors, allowing them to check more easily what you're contributing and not have to scroll through the changes and attempt to "read your mind."

I suspect that including simple but specific descriptions of the changes you're making would really help your contributions reach the impact they deserve! Feel free to review my "contributions" and see some examples of how I do edit summaries - I probably say TOO much, which is a problem I try to work on, but somewhere in the middle would be a nice compromise.

Let me know if you'd like to continue the conversation (please ping by username, or click through to respond on my user talk, so I can your response when I log back on), and have a great day either way! Chiselinccc (talk) 08:38, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the message, I really appreciate it, I will take in all the advice. I really want to improve and make sure I am transparent in editing on the contributions. @Chiselinccc Poppodoms (talk) 15:16, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply @Poppodoms, and no worries! I can see you're using some great, detailed edit summaries now- it helps us all along when we can immediately see what other editors intended with each change.

If you ever have any questions, or want input on a given article or text additions, feel free to ping me via username and I'll happily take a look. I'm still pretty new on the "policies" side of things here, but I have significant experience in English-language editing and I'm always excited to review copy.

Happy editing, and thanks for your awesome attitude and desire to contribute so much here! Cheers :-D Chiselinccc (talk) 05:45, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

No worries, I really appreciate the support! :) Poppodoms (talk) 17:24, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Nomination of Oniro OS for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Oniro OS is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oniro OS until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Aoidh (talk) 15:10, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Rather than deleting the page, you should decide on drafting the page. Thank you very much for the notice. Poppodoms (talk) 10:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

I recommend putting on the draft as soon more third party sources comes out on this operating system. Poppodoms (talk) 10:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

If not drafted, the page will be in a draft. Poppodoms (talk) 10:10, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited HarmonyOS NEXT, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page JS. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 06:11, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
