Ally Soudy moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Ally Soudy, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Responding to your email[edit]

I've received your email but prefer to discuss things on-wiki for non-private matters. Alyn Sano was deleted last year because the text was copied from another website (one which, for what it's worth, is not sufficiently reliable to be used as a source for biographies of living people). You can try again, but anything you add to Wikipedia needs to be written in your own words and supported by reliable sources. DanCherek (talk) 19:28, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

December 2023[edit]

Information icon

Hello Pfomma. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Christopher Muneza, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Pfomma. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Pfomma|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. You created the article Christopher Muneza, but you later added and undisclosed paid editing tag to the article here.

Manual of styling[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Jaysix Abdalah, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Otuọcha (talk) 01:01, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to Rufai Waris. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Rufai Waris is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Nufashwa Yafasha[edit]

Hello Pfomma,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Nufashwa Yafasha for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Stop icon Please do not remove the {{copyvio/core}} template from articles, as you did with Nufashwa Yafasha. Your action has been reverted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept non-free text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted, and removing copyright notices will not help your case. You can properly contest the deletion at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. If you are the owner of the material, you may release the material under the Creative Commons and GFDL licenses, as detailed at WP:IOWN. Alternatively, you are welcome to create a draft in your own words at Talk:Nufashwa Yafasha/Temp. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators and/or removers of the copyright notice templates will be blocked from editing.

A tag has been placed on Category:Children's charities based in the Rwanda indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 20:32, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

The reason I was blocked was because there was another user who used the same browser to edit the same article.The productive contribution I wish to make is to add references that show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. Pfomma (talk) 07:21, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:GiantSnowman, scroll up to see previous chatter. What does "the same browser" even mean? This was a CU block--I'm surprised they haven't come up with a better reason/excuse/etc. Drmies (talk) 18:49, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It appears to be an excuse for the socking - sharing the same computer as a sock? Nonsense IMHO. GiantSnowman 20:36, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the reason I was blocked, so What do you want me to do? To be honest I wish to make the productive contributions. Pfomma (talk) 01:46, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You keep saying that you understand why you were blocked, as if this by itself is a reason to unblock you. Anyone can say that. When you were in school, did you write, "Trust me, bro, I know the answers to all these questions" on every exam? If you did, would you expect to get a passing grade? You have no made any effort to explain why there's another person editing the same articles as you from the same IP address. You just keep talking about browsers. Look, I'm sorry, but you had enough chances to explain this. The unblock queue is overflowing with people who keep making bad unblock requests. To cut down on the number of outstanding requests, we need to say, "No, you already made four unblock requests. That's enough chances already." If you can explain exactly what was going on, you can make an unblock request via UTRS, as below. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:48, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.
