Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (October 23)

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

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.

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 User:Signol waves media/sandbox 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.

October 2024

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Secretlondon (talk) 18:22, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

EmodiaOgonda (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

EmodiaOgonda (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand that my account was blocked for appearing to promote my organization and for having a business-related username. I apologize for these actions and realize Wikipedia should not be used for advertising purposes. Moving forward, I intend to make constructive, neutral contributions to articles without any promotional intent. I also request to change my username to "Emodia Hallan" to comply with Wikipedia’s username policy. I will disclose any paid contributions and edit responsibly according to Wikipedia guidelines. Signol waves media (talk) 15:02, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You have been renamed, which resolves that aspect of the block- you now need to address the rest of it; you're being evasive. 331dot (talk) 08:36, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What edits do you intend to make? (such as what articles or topic areas) Are you agreeing to abandon efforts to edit about your company? 331dot (talk) 15:12, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response, 331dot. I understand that Wikipedia’s purpose is to provide neutral, reliable information without promoting any business interests. Moving forward, I will abandon any efforts to edit or create content directly related to my company, Signol Waves Media.

Instead, I intend to contribute to other topic areas where I can add value, such as improving articles related to Kenyan media, African technology developments, and local agricultural practices. I am committed to following Wikipedia’s guidelines and ensuring that my edits remain neutral, informative, and properly sourced.

Thank you for considering my request, and I apologize for any misunderstanding caused by my earlier edits. Signol waves media (talk) 06:38, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I moved to rename you, but it appears that your choice of new username was taken two hours ago; you'll need to propose something else. 331dot (talk) 08:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I removed your duplicate request and replaced your username choice- only one open request is needed. Did you or someone at your company create the "Emodia Hallan" account? 331dot (talk) 09:44, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying, 331dot, and for consolidating the requests. Regarding the "Emodia Hallan" account, I want to confirm that I did not create that account, nor did anyone else at Signol Waves Media to my knowledge. I understand Wikipedia’s guidelines on single-user accounts and am committed to complying fully with all policies.

Thank you for your assistance, and please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide. Signol waves media (talk) 11:09, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, 331dot. Thank you for your previous guidance. I followed the instructions to request an unblock, but it seems my account is still blocked from editing. Could you please let me know if there’s any further information or action required on my part to complete the unblocking process? I appreciate your help in resolving this.

Thank you! EmodiaOgonda (talk) 14:41, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. "I understand that my account was blocked for appearing to promote my organization" contains the weasel word "appearing" and you have not addressed your paid editing disclosure, or rather your lack thereof. That's ok. I'll place a proper, formal question below.

There is no deadline for any admin to make the decision to unblock you. What is your hurry? 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:25, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello EmodiaOgonda. 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged 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:EmodiaOgonda. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=EmodiaOgonda|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. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:25, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing.
Since you have now had two level one warnings for paid editing I am omitting level 2 and jumping directly to level 3. There are a finite number of levels. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:09, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is important that you note that "any additional edits without complying" includes any edits here, on this page.

I tell you this in case there is any small chance of a misunderstanding. As I have said below, I am pedantic. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:22, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regarding undisclosed paid editing. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:44, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The order you do things now is important.

First deal with the question on paid editing. Do nothing else until you have done so.

Second if, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:51, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:EmodiaOgonda/sandbox

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:EmodiaOgonda/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. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 14:53, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Being charitable I have placed a level 1 question. There are several escalating levels. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:26, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, FiddleTimtrent, for your guidance and patience. I understand that there are levels of review, and I appreciate the chance to address this at the first level. I'm committed to fully cooperating with Wikipedia’s policies and contributing constructively to the platform. Please let me know if there’s anything further I should clarify at this stage, and thank you again for your assistance. EmodiaOgonda (talk) 15:34, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You thanked him and said you were committed, but otherwise didn't respond to his concern. 331dot (talk) 15:40, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

can you just delete the sandbox edit draft l am ready to write another one. EmodiaOgonda (talk) 15:50, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has been deleted anyway.

You are not yet in a position to write another one. You are blocked, and seem unwilling to take the steps which may result in your block being lifted, as 331dot has noted. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:13, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~Kind~~A guide? Yes.

Patient? Definitely.

I am also pedantic and determined to uphold and to see upheld Wikipedia's policies on Paid Editing. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:11, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

what can l do now? EmodiaOgonda (talk) 15:46, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What you have to do is to understand why you are blocked, and note that this response of yours has triggered a final warning for undeclared paid editing. You now must deal with this 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:44, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the guidance, FiddleTimtrent. I understand that my account was blocked due to a perceived conflict of interest related to paid editing and promotional activity. I want to clarify that I am aware of Wikipedia’s policies regarding neutrality and the prohibition of promotional content. I apologize if my previous edits seemed to contradict these policies. If you unblock me l won`t repeat l will follow everything. EmodiaOgonda (talk) 07:11, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're evading the question. Do you have a conflict of interest, yes or no? Do you have a paid relationship of any form with the subject of your edits, yes or no? 331dot (talk) 07:20, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your questions, 331dot. To clarify, I do not have a conflict of interest, nor do I have any paid relationship with the subject of my edits. My intention is simply to contribute constructively to Wikipedia and provide neutral, well-sourced information. 41.90.68.58 (talk) 07:46, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regrettably we have no idea who this IP editor is, so this answer is invalid. If you are the user of this account please log in and make an answer. I make no comment on the answer itself. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 08:57, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is my IP. 41.90.68.58 (talk) 09:04, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then log in. 331dot (talk) 09:40, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

331dot With this history of question evasion, dissembling answers, plus IP messages from some unknown individual representing themselves as this editor (this would be construed this as block evasion were it on any other page), I am finding it hard to see that this editor will achieve a lifting of their block. It is not a set of behaviours to recommend them as an editor here, where they need to understand that trust and transparency are highly prized. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 10:40, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help me now please. EmodiaOgonda (talk) 14:47, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You talk about "my organization" and then say you have no conflict of interest. Both of these things cannot be true at the same time. You're quickly running out of trust with us and are close to losing access to this page until you change course and be open and honest with us about your association with this organization. 331dot (talk) 15:17, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reaching out and for emphasizing the importance of transparency. I understand your concern, and I’d like to clarify that while I have some association with the organization, my only intention here is to ensure the article is accurate and up-to-date in accordance with Wikipedia’s standards. I apologize if I gave any impression otherwise.

To avoid any conflict of interest, I’d be happy to propose any edits on the Talk page for community review, rather than editing the page directly. Thank you for your guidance and understanding as I work to align with Wikipedia's policies. EmodiaOgonda (talk) 17:27, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may make a new unblock request for someone else to review. You'll also need to speak to why you said you didn't have a conflict of interest when previously asked if you had one. 331dot (talk) 17:36, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand why I was blocked due to potential conflicts of interest and any appearance of bias. I apologize for these past actions and assure you that I am fully committed to Wikipedia’s policies. I’ve reviewed the guidelines on neutrality and conflicts of interest and would like to contribute constructively. Going forward, I will make any suggested edits through the Talk page and seek guidance if needed. Thank you for considering my request. EmodiaOgonda (talk) 17:43, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't actually made a request yet, you need to follow the instructions in the block notice. I would also suggest that you click "edit" and not "reply" to post your request. 331dot (talk) 18:21, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

l Rest my case just delete this account. Because l don't know what exactly you are asking me even after l have told you everything and replayed to your messages, explained 41.90.65.43 (talk) 13:20, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have done my best to respond to your questions and explain my intentions. However, it seems there is still a misunderstanding, and I am unsure how else to address your concerns. As such, I would like to rest my case and kindly request that this account be deleted.

Thank you for your time and consideration. EmodiaOgonda (talk) 13:22, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to have started to rely on a Large Language Model (AI) to write your replies. This is not an appropriate behaviour.

Accounts cannot be deleted. You can abandon it, but may not edit further, even when logged out while your block remains, except on this page in order to discuss your block. I suggest you stop using AI and rely on your own human intelligence.

To be clear, the only person who cares about your block is you. No-one else here has anything except transient interest in it. Go, stay, it is your choice to request, properly that the block be lifted. It will only be lifted if you obey the instructions in the original block notice, and that will only happen by the decision of an uninvolved administrator after you make a formal request. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:38, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

okay EmodiaOgonda (talk) 13:42, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
