<b> [[:Hyperwallet]] has been deleted</b><br /> |
|||
Hello, WeTalkWiki. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest<b> [[free content]] </b>encyclopedia. |
|||
I'm sorry, but [[:Hyperwallet]] has been deleted as meeting [[WP:CSD#G11]]. "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with [[Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION]]." These must be rewritten from scratch from "reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject." See [[WP:RS]]. |
|||
'''[[Wikipedia:Identifying blatant advertising#Typical signs of blatant advertising]]''' contains information about content to avoid. For more information on content that may be perceived as promotional, click [[ User:Deepfriedokra/promo]]. These are just rough guides. Pages can avoid all those pitfalls and still be glaringly obvious ad copy. Sometimes pages meeting [[WP:CSD#G11]] give the appearance of an editor violating [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest]] or [[WP:PAID]]. Please read and heed them if they apply to you. Please read [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations]]. |
|||
There is a very common mistake of assuming that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to promotion for commercial gain, but that is not so. Sometimes creators of promotional content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write or spent some time writing corporate documents or mission/vision statements or anything similar, they may simply be blind to the promotionality. It can be hard to unlearn. |
|||
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet [[WP:N|notability guidelines]] with [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] that are [[WP:IS|unconnected with the subject]] and providing [[WP:V|verifiable information]]. '''That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. ''' Please see [[ Wikipedia:Citing sources ]]. [[Template:cite]] has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template <nowiki>{{references}}</nowiki> at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. |

The [[WP:TWA|new user tutorial]] can help you avoid future problems. --<b>[[User:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:black">Deep</span><span style="color:red">fried</span><span style="color:DarkOrange">okra</span>]] [[User talk:Deepfriedokra|(<span style="color:black">talk</span>)]]</b> 15:29, 2 July 2020 (UTC) |

[[User:Deepfriedokra]], Thank you for you advice in advance. Have a nice day! |
