March 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Constant314. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Laser engraving have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Constant314 (talk) 10:41, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the report, but I simply added the source to a page explaining what "laser engraving" was that I found on the Internet (and deemed the most thorough). For my part I have no link to the link or benefit or advertisement. Thank you Maltra82 (talk) 10:43, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Gerald Charles (company) (August 25)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

This submission appears to be taken from A lot of these images are taken directly off the company's website (and as far as I can tell are not freely licensed), plus the duplicate submission at draft:Gerald Charles Swiss clearly signals, at best, undisclosed sock accounts.. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Draft:Gerald Charles (company) may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page. or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

February 2024[edit]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Laser engraving. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. [1] Apparition¹¹ ^Complaints/Mistakes 12:25, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
