Thanks for the heads-up. I've updated our account name from [Navicore Solutions]. FinEd234 (talk) 14:17, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NavicoreSolutions! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Thank you for the clarification. I'm on a learning curve! FinEd234 (talk) 14:15, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Philipnelson99. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Celine's laws because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Navicore Solutions

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 Navicore Solutions, 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.

Request reason:

Your reason here Hello, I was trying to fix the page when I was blocked. I copied the type of information used in the Navicore Solutions Page from other company pages in the same industry. Can you please provide more feedback regarding the blocking of this account and the information provided in the Navicore Solutions page. As a new user I'm reading help pages and trying to work within the guidelines. A permanent block seems premature given my attempts to fix the problems. Please advise. Thank you. :

Accept reason:

Per agreement to follow COI and paid disclosure rules going forward. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 02:23, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is what the issues were. Firstly, of course, there is the issue that the article was promotional, hence why it was deleted. Secondly, especially given your prior username, it is clear that you are affiliated with or being paid to edit by this organization. Editors in such a situation are required to disclose that, as described here. You did not do that. Finally, paid editors or others with a conflict of interest must not create or edit articles directly in mainspace about the COI subjects. For creation of a new article, such editors should instead create a draft and request review by articles for creation, so that an editor without a COI is able to review it. You also deliberately dodged around that requirement by making just enough edits to put it straight into mainspace. Paid editors are expected to not be a timesink, and should not need any handholding from volunteers. I shouldn't need to be telling you any of these things. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 21:11, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback. I was unaware that I was unable to create the page due to COI. I can read more about this and submit the page via the correct route. As for handholding, I apologize for not being up to speed enough but am working to rectify the issue. I'm just trying to create the same page as many of our competitors and tripping up in the process. Are you willing to reinstate my account as I tread more carefully, please?
