Speedy deletion nomination of User:Peterneal[edit]

A tag has been placed on User:Peterneal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Linthorpe Art Pottery (January 19)[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 Robert McClenon was:

This draft is a request to spin out an article, a form of splitting. Proposals to spin out a topic from an article into another stand-alone article should be discussed at the talk page of the existing article.

This does not mean that the draft should be spun out, and it does not mean that the draft should not be spun out. It does mean that discussion should be on the talk page of the existing article. (If this draft is resubmitted without discussion on the talk page of the existing article, it may be Rejected or nominated for deletion.)

The article on Linthorpe discusses Linthorpe Art Pottery. Please discuss at Talk:Linthorpe Art Pottery whether to expand the coverage there or to spin out a separate article.

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 Draft:Linthorpe Art Pottery 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 Draft:Linthorpe Art Pottery, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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, 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.

March 2020[edit]

Hello Peterneal. 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:Peterneal. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Peterneal|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. GSS ^💬 09:04, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are indeed mistaken User:GSS. I am neither paid nor expect to receive compensation for my edits, furthermore recognising the potential of conflicts of interests to arise when I started to edit regularly, the first thing I did was to create my user page (based on that of another editor) to which I added details of my background, interests and my reasons for editing wikipedia. This page was speedy deleted within minutes on the grounds that wikipedia is not a website for self-promotion (for the record I have my own website on which I am able to "self promote" should I wish). Whilst I appreciate that a platform like wikipedia might be subject to abuse and how hard it might be to spot bad-faith actors, I think it is necessary to be mindful of how that can be experienced by volunteers when they begin to contribute and how what may appear like reasonable challenges from an administrative perspective do not appear so from the volunteers perspective and how that, in turn, discourages people from contributing. I am happy to recreate such a user page should you think it necessary (and assuming that it will not simply be arbitrarily deleted again). Peterneal (talk) 21:11, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Jessie Joe Jacobs for deletion[edit]
