User talk:Eemakagoma
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed the above-linked article which you created and wanted to mention a few things:
- First, thanks for your contribution! The article is relatively well-formatted for a first creation.
- I have requested a history merge, as generally copy & paste moves are unwanted on Wikipedia, the reason for which is to preserve the attribution to other users who contributed. Next time, please request that somebody move the article for you (eventually, you will be able to do this yourself.)
- I noticed that you placed an "advertisement" tag on the article which you yourself created. I wanted to take this opportunity to ask you if this was meant to be a declaration of conflict of interest? If so, you should know that you are required by wikimedia policy to declare if you have any financial stake in this article, this includes declaring if you work for or are affiliated with the subject, regardless of whether you are being paid specifically for writing the article. Please be sure to declare this if it is the case.
That said, thanks again, and happy editing! A S U K I T E 16:31, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello, thank you so much for the assistance, I appreciate the help!
- The "advertisement" tag was in error. I am not an affiliate of/ or work for the subject I wrote about. Please let me know how I may go about removing this tag.
Much appreciated! EemaKagoma 12:52, 1 May 2021 (EST)
One final question:
- Is there away to make it more intuitive to get to the page- as in showing up in Google search?
Thanks so much again! EemaKagoma 1:15 PM, 1 May 2021 (EST)
- I've replaced the history merge tag on the page as I believe it still needs to be merged. The purpose of this is to move the edit history from the original page to the new one to preserve attribution. Please do not remove it, an admin will remove it when they either merge or decide that a merge is not necessary. As to your question, please see the info here WP:PROMO which explains Wikipedia's policy regarding advertisement. If further reviewers agree that the article as it currently exists is suitable (and not purely advertisement) it will be released for indexing by google. Although I can do this myself, I tend to shy away from doing so right away (as do many editors) until enough time has elapsed such that other reviewers have had a chance to look over it. Wikipedia is not to be used for advertisement or Search engine optimization, and if that is your sole intent for writing the article, I would call into question your declaration that you are not affiliated. Hope this helps. (TL;DR, give it some time. Other editors will likely also review the article before it gets approved) A S U K I T E 17:30, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Studio of Contemporary Architecture (SOCA)[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 Studio of Contemporary Architecture (SOCA), 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. Onel5969 TT me 00:01, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
