Requested username:

Request reason:

I don't intend to advertise anything, but just publish an informative page on independent quality assurance in the humanitarian sector, which I created yesterday and I was only trying to save as a draft. I will not inadvertently submit anything that might be considered as an advertisement in the future, I am just new to Wikipedia publishing. Please unblock me! And if you could guide me to improve in the future, thanks in advance for the help.

Decline reason:

This account is not directly blocked. If you are unable to edit, please exactly follow the instructions which appear when you attempt to do so. Yamla (talk) 11:23, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "IndependentQA", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 13:54, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the username shouldn't violate any Wikipedia policy because it's not the name of a company or organization.

Role accounts are not permitted either, and it sounds like a position at the organization you wrote about. If it is not, okay. 331dot (talk) 16:17, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I confirm that Independent QA is not a position at the organization I'm writing about.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Humanitarian Quality Assurance Initiative (December 13)

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

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.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Humanitarian Quality Assurance Initiative and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of the content here is without any reliable source. The references are not sufficient to demonstrate notability – particularly as several of them (#5, #6 and #8 at least) do not even mention this body. The article creator has been asked to disclose any paid connection, but has not done so.
