Hello, I'm QuiteUnusual. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Wahoo Fitness have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. QuiteUnusual (talk) 14:09, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Wahoo Fitness. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Wahoo Fitness, you may be blocked from editing. tedder (talk) 06:38, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hoping you're getting the picture from the warnings. Use these talk pages to discuss things, but it seems like you're working in their marketing department. tedder (talk) 06:38, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How is my editing promotional? I added chronological timeline of products Wahoo Fitness developed, just like many other business pages have. The Wahoo Fitness Wikipedia page is inaccurate. The company makes more than the product listed on the pages, inside the products table. Don't you care about providing accurate and complete information to readers? Also, i do not work on Wahoo Fitness marketing team.

Do you work for Wahoo or are connected in some way to the company? The problem is that your edits look like they belong in a brochure for the company ("Built on KICKR technology, KICKR BIKE propelled Wahoo into the stationary bike category", listing the entire product catalog). Second, links to products don't belong in the article. Here's a good FAQ at getting started editing business articles, especially those of a connected contributor. Sticking to a neutral point of view is key. tedder (talk) 16:33, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Then why don't you just remove "propelled" if that feels promotional. "Built on KICKR technology" is an objective statement of the KICKR bike. I have no problem being accurate and provide correct information with an objective point of view. The purpose of this page is to provide that type of information, and be inclusive of all products, not display outdated information. However, removing everything that i added for accuracy reasons defeats the purpose of Wikipedia having business information pages that are supposed to provide accurate, updated information to readers. I understand the links issue - i did not know that's not advisable. Fitness forward (talk) 18:05, 15 June 2021 (UTC) Fitness forward Fitness forward (talk) 18:05, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to give you an example of a phrase that caught my eye. I'm not going to litigate every sentence with you. Please read WP:NPOV and WP:5P. The Wahoo page definitely needs improvement, but that doesn't mean turning it into a marketing page. tedder (talk) 03:50, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: CrossCountry Mortgage (June 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Lovkal 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 Draft:CrossCountry Mortgage 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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Fitness forward. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:CrossCountry Mortgage, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:51, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can certainly edit for an objective view. I also added the disclosure as Paid contribution to the page, but it says the template is wrong. Are you able to help with that? Fitness forward (talk) 18:06, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:CrossCountry Mortgage

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 Draft:CrossCountry Mortgage, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://topworkplaces.com/company/crosscountry-mortgage-i/cleveland/, https://crosscountrymortgage.com/crosscountry-mortgage-expands-support-for-hispanic-borrowers/, and https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/browns-crosscountry-mortgage-building-upon-successes-of-partnership-s-first-seas}. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: CrossCountry Mortgage (June 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DoubleGrazing were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is just promo blurb, nothing of encyclopaedic value. And none of the sources cited meets the WP:GNG / WP:ORGCRIT standard for notability.

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 Draft:CrossCountry Mortgage 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.
