Notice

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Goest Ryder a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Goest Ryder Brand. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 15:09, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Christopher Odhiambo, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Lafiosa Enterprise Record Label, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Speedy deletion nomination of Sam Enrico Williams

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 Sam Enrico Williams, 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.

Kindly provide the deleted page Sam Enrico Williams, so I can make improvements on it.Christopher Odhiambo (talk) 11:42, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the history of that page, it has been deleted at least 3 times under A7 and G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. The version of the page you just created looks to me to be pretty much identical to the deleted versions, and thus could be deleted on sight.

I would be happy to restore the deleted page and move the whole thing to draft space for you if you can convince me that you understand why it was deleted, and that you intend to fix the problems that lead to deletion. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 15:44, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I only know of the 2019 deletion to be sure since I just started wikipedia editing like a month now. Through my daily learning researches I met this topic and saw it worth creating an article for it.

I understand the current deletion reason G11 and will rework the article to the required standardsONUnicornChristopher Odhiambo (talk) 15:51, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please, in your own words, what does G11 mean? What do you think needs to be done to fix it? ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 16:00, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

G11 criteria for speedy deletion is based on articles that are exclusively promotional. Articles that fall here can be notable, but needs to be re-written in order to be in line with the wikipedia's guideline on non promotional articles. ONUnicornChristopher Odhiambo (talk) 16:07, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good enough. I have restored the article history and moved the whole thing to Draft:Sam Enrico Williams. When you think it's free of promotional language, well sourced, and demonstrates notability, put {{subst:submit}} on top of it and someone will come along to review it. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 16:12, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, reworking on the subject.ONUnicorn.Christopher Odhiambo (talk) 16:15, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Admin Help: Deletion of Draft Articles

Hello everyone, just had one simple question please. I encounter an important note everytime before creating a draft article; the note is here below

Important

   Please note: Once you click the "publish" button, your draft is saved in a public drafting area. You may continue to work on your draft as long as you like; there is no deadline, but bear in mind that if the draft isn't edited in six months, it may be deleted.
   If the draft is declined, you will still be able to edit it. It is simply marked as declined.
   When you feel your draft is ready to become an article, you can request a review (or a re-review).

The question. Is this note of any importance when drafts are deleted within a few days of creation like even less than a week? kindly I request the page Draft:Lafiosa Enterprise be recreated so I can continue editing it.Christopher Odhiambo (talk) 22:49, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Special enforcement measures apply to blockchain and cryptocurrency related content

Hello Ecuadedem. 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:Ecuadedem. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ecuadedem|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.

Please read this notice carefully.

You are receiving this notice because you recently edited one or more pages relating to blockchain or cryptocurrencies topics. You have not done anything wrong. We just want to alert you that "general" sanctions are authorized for certain types of edits to those pages.

A community decision has authorized the use of general sanctions for pages related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after the editor has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

You are required to strictly adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, and the letter and spirit of the conflict of interest guideline. You are also required to cite reliable sources to support blockchain or cryptocurrency content you add. Cryptocurrency enthusiast websites, social media and the company's own website are not reliable sources. MER-C 16:38, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks MER-C. I basically do not understand the sanctions on blockchain. Trying to go through the templates but failing to grasp the exact reason why there should be sanctions in such pages based on the fact that blockchain technology or cryptocurrency stuff has an increasing influence in the whole world.

Let me make myself clear; I am in no way have a conflict of interest in the article I am drafting, Sam Enrico Williams.

I kindly ask you to give me a few sentences lecture on this topic blockchain/cryptocurrency sanctions and blocks in Wikipedia, when am I allowed to continue editing.

I am just a person who wishes to enjoy editing, learning new things and practicing what I do best, writing. Kindly let me know few things here because I have other articles I am currently preparing to create just on this topic, blockchain and cryptocurrency.Christopher Odhiambo (talk) 08:44, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Sam Enrico Williamson Knightbrides Apartment 2019.jpg

Blocked

Your contributions, consisting solely of promotional content, and your combative tone towards other users challenging your edits have resulted in you being indefinitely blocked from editing Wikipedia. You may appeal this block by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Appealing a block but be aware, before I or another administrator considers lifting this block, you will need to explain your previous paid editing/promotional activities and the poor attempt at sockpuppetry.
