October 2019[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Thank you. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:13, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bay Area International Children's Film Festival (October 24)[edit]

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Bay Area International Children's Film Festival and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Bay Area International Children's Film Festival, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

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

Request reason:

I'd like to submit a new username that is in accord with Wikipedia policies.

Accept reason:

Renamed, therefore unblocked. Note that you are required to start adhering to WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO going forward. That means no more writing about subject areas for which you have a conflict of interest, including the Bay Area International Children's Film Festival. Yamla (talk) 09:16, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Yamla. According to the advice I have gotten on the Teahouse forum, and in accordance with the above note from CptViraj to edit the page and try again, I am going to tweak the draft and wait to see if it is approved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse#Please_Help_Me_Understand_the_Content_Contribution_Policies FilmFestFan (talk) 21:26, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's reasonable. You sought out additional advice and have taken it to heart. Thank you for doing so. --Yamla (talk) 21:36, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bay Area International Children's Film Festival (October 25)[edit]

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Need more news sources besides the local papers to show it is a notable festival beyond the WP:MILL

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.
