User talk:Khanable

Welcome!

Hello, Khanable, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

Hello, I'm Schminnte. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Sharjah English School seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 19:38, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Khanable. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. The page User:Khanable/sandbox has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see this page on citing sources. This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{Reflist}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chat.

New article creation can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 11:11, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Metana

Hello Khanable,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Metana 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!

Hi Umakant,

I tried writing the content very similar to Udemy and Udacity articles, but I have no idea why we are being tagged as promotional. Also the reason we want a page is that because when people google search for metana, google gives an article from wikipedia related to Methane on the side.

I would love to know how to make this article non promotional as we aren't even trying to get a backlink out of it. Would really appreciate your help in this case.

Thank you. Khanable (talk) 09:49, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for email.

You are editing on behalf of a company and have an obvious conflict of interest since you are employed by the company. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, 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:Khanable. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Khanable|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. You did not do that, so I have blocked your account.

Also, your text was basically spam, with no independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Nothing about the company {headquarters, number of employees, turnover and profits?) except what it sells, and the text is just spam, not facts, eg specialized training in cutting-edge technologies... and has rapidly established itself as a reputable tech education provider... committed to providing high-quality education and so on right through to Metana is an excellent choice for anyone seeking to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the modern world.

Thanks Jim! I appreciate the advices, any other thing I should keep in mind, and is the block permanent? Khanable (talk) 14:08, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
