User talk:NYUSER07
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, NYUSER07, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:96.235.182.24/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.
Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.
New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at the our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions ask me on my talk page or you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of User:96.235.182.24/sandbox
[edit]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:96.235.182.24/sandbox, 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 consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

May 2023
[edit]Hello, I'm Garrettw87. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Stevie Awards—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. — Garrett W. {☎ ✍} 02:51, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- The content I added all coming from https://stevieawards.com/ directly
- The content available now is discouraging people to apply for Stevie business awards. Can you please review what I added and it is all coming from https://stevieawards.com/
- If you are not satisfied with the content, let me know which part - all the content I added are from the source NYUSER07 (talk) 04:22, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Stevie Awards. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. — Garrett W. {☎ ✍} 03:02, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Stevie Awards, you may be blocked from editing. Grayfell (talk) 04:15, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Can you please review my comment, it is all coming from source https://stevieawards.com/
- with what is currently it is not encouraging an individual to apply for the awards, I think we should provide a un biased truth about this award, that was my intention. If you still think what I entered needs more information or not correct please point out, so I can understand, thanks NYUSER07 (talk) 04:51, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion or advocacy. Therefor, whether or not this is discouraging people from applying is irrelevant. If people want information from the award's website, they can just go to that website. Instead, Wikipedia strongly favors sources which are reliable, independent, and secondary. The award's website may be reliable for some limited uses, but it is neither independent nor secondary. Further, any information about the award must be summarizes from a neutral point of view. Your edits were not neutral, they were heavily promotional, and were therefor inappropriate. Grayfell (talk) 05:06, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello NYUSER07! Your additions to Stevie Awards have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 05:08, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]Hello, NYUSER07. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. I have added this new message above to your page because your replies to the warnings we have given you, in conjunction with the content of your recent edits, make me wonder if you work for the organization or have ties to them in some other way. Please do not take the points listed above as mere suggestions; they are of utmost importance in keeping Wikipedia a neutral, unbiased source of information. I would further suggest that if you do not understand how your recent edits were not neutral, it might be best if you refrain from adding content anywhere until you have studied the NPOV page and understand it well. — Garrett W. {☎ ✍} 07:26, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
