Welcome![edit]

Hello, GeneratorWiki, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Generator Hostels, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Your submission at Articles for creation: Generator Hostels (March 31)[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 Wiae 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.

The comment they left was:

"unique design-led accommodation options", "completely un-hostel-like in appearance, amenities and vibe", "hailed as the fastest growing hostel brand in Europe", "Characterised by their cutting-edge design", "the final touches that make Generator the place to stay for savvy travellers who want to truly get under the skin of the cities they visit", "push the brand to further expand its potential", "Being social in every sense of the word is what makes the Generator concept unique and different from that of a boutique hotel", "highlight the uniqueness of each location and the special features of each building", "events at Generator are a very important affair" and the like are unambiguously promotional in nature. This sort of prose may be appropriate for a PR piece or the company's own website, but it is in no way neutral in tone, which all Wikipedia articles must be. Further, since it appears that your account may be connected to the subject, then you may have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia, as people who are connected professionally or personally with a subject will find it virtually impossible to write objectively about it. Thanks,

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:Generator Hostels and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This still reads like a brochure for the hotel. The unsourced, unencyclopedic sections "Brand DNA", "Timeline" and "locations" must go unless reliably sourced and made neutral tone.

April 2016[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.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

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. Thank you. v/r - T P 04:19, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
