Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (May 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Timtrent 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 User:Mattwiik22/sandbox 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Mattwiik22/sandbox

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 User:Mattwiik22/sandbox, 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. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 22:06, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Block appeal

Hi, I have recently got into the defence tech industry as an enthusiast and want to start sharing posts over new companies, funds and things happening in our industry in our region. Recently I published the first article and was blocked for undisclosed paid editing.

I was never paid for this so I am not sure what can be done here. I provided ALL sources within the text so I am not confident why this block was here in the first place. Please let me know what to change and I will be happy to edit this to be more encyclopedical.

Thanks for the resolution.

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Mattwiik22 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Wasn't paid for writing this page. I am a new editor and want to cover our newest industry companies, funds and trends. You haven't provided any specifics why this was blocked. Everything written is backed by the sources provided. Please let me know what to change and I will be happy to edit this to be more encyclopedical. Mattwiik22 (talk) 10:43, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=Wasn't paid for writing this page. I am a new editor and want to cover our newest industry companies, funds and trends. You haven't provided any specifics why this was blocked. Everything written is backed by the sources provided.

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

When a new editor arrives on the scene and immediately creates a promo piece on a business, the obvious assumption is that there is a reason for that, ie. that you didn't just pick that subject at random. If you have some sort of IRL relationship with this business, please describe its nature, in your own words? Thank you, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:30, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You said "our newest industry companies" which strongly suggests you are much more than a mere enthusiast of the defense industry. Do you work in the defense industry? Even if you don't work for this company, it could still be a conflict of interest for you to edit about a competitor. 331dot (talk) 13:50, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! When getting started on Wikipedia, many people have trouble getting used to writing in a neutral point of view. Can you please review our guidelines on neutral point of view? You may also want to take the quiz. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:21, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
