Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (September 13)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere 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, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Stephenyiu. 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:Stephen Yiu, 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 article subjects 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 {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Kaizenify (talk) 15:51, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

November 2024

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for advertising or promotion.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:53, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

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

Request reason:

I was blocked on November 25, 2024, presumably in response to the deletion of Draft:Stephen Yiu about me at Articles for Creation, which occurred the same day. It probably didn't help that I made some promotional edits years ago, directly into article-space. I have since become more informed on Wikipedia's neutrality, citing, and conduct policies.

If unblocked, I promise to:

Never edit article-space again
Make a COI disclosure in more places, including the top of any AfC submission
Make better, more neutral contributions to Articles for Creation
Leave gracefully on my own if I am unable to make better contributions to AfC

I understand now that, even when submitting to draft space in AfC, I was wasting the time of volunteers by submitting sub-par promotional content. I think there are independent press articles that tell my life story from birth to current that meet Wikipedia's criteria to qualify for a page (see e.g. here), but I have done a poor job putting together neutral content and focusing on the best citations. If unblocked, I will do better, and if I am not successful at doing better, I will leave on my own rather than continue to burden volunteers. I'm requesting one more attempt to do it right.

Best regards. Stephenyiu (talk) 16:13, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You've edited without disclosing your conflict of interest/paid status(as I presume you earn a living with your company). You've only edited about your company, your partner in founding the company, and yourself.(the latter of which is problematic, if not forbidden) That seems to be all you are interested in editing, so there are no grounds to remove the block. We want you to edit in article space, so you can demonstrate your knowledge of relevant policies. 331dot (talk) 16:24, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
