Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (November 20)

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

November 2023

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account 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 go here to search and 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 available to be taken.

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. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 17:24, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I'm not convinced that you understand how to edit consistent with WP:COI. You may try to convince a new admin with a new request, I am declining this one. 331dot (talk) 20:19, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Dear Wikipedia team, I am new to this platform and have a keen interest in contributing valuable content to Wikipedia. My initial intent was to write an article about a company, but I mistakenly set my username to match the company's name. I want to clarify that I have no intention of posting spam or violating Wikipedia's policies. On the contrary, I am eager to adhere strictly to Wikipedia's guidelines in all my contributions. I kindly request the unblocking of my account so that I can start contributing positively to the Wikipedia community. Thank you for considering my request.

Decline reason:

This reads like an AI chat bot wrote it. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:45, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prior declined requests must remain until the block is removed, per WP:BLANKING. 331dot (talk) 13:49, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi im not an ai i am a real person and i don't understand y you think i am an ai. when i wrote my first message i used Grammarly to write a nice good message. please unblock my account i would really apricate it thanks. Blogbamba (talk) 18:02, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't want you to use Grammarly to write your request. It's not Grammarly that is blocked, you are blocked. We want you to write it in your own words. It does not need to be grammatically and stylistically perfect. 331dot (talk) 18:14, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fairly new to this platform and am excited about the opportunity to contribute valuable content to Wikipedia. Initially, my intention was to create an article about a company, but I messed up and accidentally set my username to match the company's name. I want to emphasize that my sole purpose here is to share knowledge and follow Wikipedia's policies all ways. I promise, hand on heart, that I have zero plans to spam or break any of Wikipedia's rules. In fact, I'm genuinely enthusiastic about following Wikipedia's guidelines and being a responsible contributor. I wholeheartedly request that you consider unblocking my account so I can begin making positive contributions to the Wikipedia community. Blogbamba (talk) 07:38, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may make a new request for someone else to review. 331dot (talk) 07:43, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your request here, which again appears to be AI generated and thus clearly indicating you lack sufficient competence to be unblocked, doesn't convince me of anything. Your comments below convince me you plan to violate WP:NOR. Clearly, the block is appropriate. Yamla (talk) 11:37, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welp, this looks identical to what Grammerly wrote before. (sigh). The question only you can answer is, "what constructive edits would you make." Please describe, in your own words, concisely and clearly, what constructive edits you would make. Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:40, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

so over the past 15 years i have travelled to over 35 countries i have a lot of knowledge about traveling to difrent countries and i also attend a lot of software conferences and would like to contribute to Wikipedia about travelling and software and a lot of other topics.
