Minor edits

Hi Valleyboy2! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 20:43, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ah, thanks mate . I'm new at this and having fun getting involved. I'll make a note of that. Valleyboy2 (talk) 09:40, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Rami Cassis

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 Rami Cassis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

Hello, I don't know what's going on. please help? I wrote a submission as to why the biog I wrote shouldn't be deleted - and even changed certain things, but now it has gone. Apparently it was deleted by someone called cryptic, but I don't know how to message them. Please help as I'm learning and want to do the right thing. many thanks.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Storm Ventures (August 27)

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

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Storm Ventures 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.

Hello, Valleyboy2! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Speedy deletion nomination of B2C2

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 B2C2, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

Draft:B2C2

Your article has been moved to draft, where you can work on bringing it up to standard before submitting for review. Please do not move it yourself. Deb (talk) 15:16, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

hello, I don't have any connection with this company.

I really feel like giving up, as every page I've tried to create from scratch hasn't worked, so I've kept asking advice and thought this followed guidelines. I think I'll just stick to editing pages if this =doesn't work. Please can you tell me what I have to do to "bring it up to standard" as I would just like to succeed? cheers Deb. Valleyboy2 (talk) 15:21, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to have a close connection to the subject on Wikipedia that raises concerns about a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged.

Anyone with a conflict of interest must avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing articles related to you, your family or colleagues, your organization or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
and you must always:
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Note that 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. Even if you are not being paid, you are expected to disclose any close connection with the subject of the article, using the connected contributor template.

For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you.

I don't understand why I appear to have a close connection to a company I have never met? cheers Valleyboy2 (talk) 15:22, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neither do we - and yet you keep advertising them. Deb (talk) 15:57, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ok, I'm really confused. I researched this over the last week or so. I had submitted a draft for about company a while ago and was told it had too many references generated by them so I looked at lots of others to write about. I found this B2c2 as they had been listed by price Waterhouse so I looked for lots of stories about them that were written by independent journalists. There seem to be lots of companies on the editing pages that are listed as looking like adverts. you say I keep advertising them but I only put up a draft today. I thought id put it int he sandbox but I kept getting stuck. after looking on tube vids I thought id worked it out. shall I give up or are there any clues you can give me as to how I can write about this co without it looking like an advert. I thought I was collating info, not advertising. I really appreciate your chelp. cheers Valleyboy2 (talk) 16:14, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please go to Wikipedia:Teahouse for help, as previously advised. No one is seeing your comments here - I only came across them by chance. Deb (talk) 18:31, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

cheers. that looks helpful, I hadn't heard of teahouse. Valleyboy2 (talk) 19:52, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:B2C2

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose discretionary sanctions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
