Welcome![edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Additional information[edit]

I see that you were notified before [1] about creating a page for Keith Sherman & Associates. Your username suggests that you represent this company. Please be aware that if you write about the company or any of its clients, you are required to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. Please review Wikipedia's non-negotiable policy on paid contribution disclosure before making any edits of this nature.

Also, this is your user talk page, and it is meant for notification and discussion with other editors. Please do not use it as a work space for article content; instead, please use your user sandbox, which is located here: User talk:Patksapr/sandbox. You are free to clear the contents of this page (with some exceptions), although others may take this as a sign of ignoring notices and an unwillingness to engage with other editors who are trying to communicate with you. We recommend that you archive your talk page if it becomes too full of messages. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:06, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

Hi, thanks for message on my talk page. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. Please add your messages to the bottom of the talk page, or they may be overlooked. I deleted your article because

it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that you meet the notability guidelines. (organizations and companies) (music) (software) (films) (video games) (academics) It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation company, press releases, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what she or her company claim or interviewing her. After the lead, none of the text was refrenced, and although you gave three references in the lead, one was your own website, one was a review of the restaurant (although it does support the claimed fact) and the third was clearly a press release. Note that references should not be bare urls
it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. For example, there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. that's particularly the case when they are spamlinks to affiliated sites. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: featured on many different cooking and travel shows
I saw that this account recreated text formerly created by Dianekochilas, so you are clearly the same person and you have an obvious conflict of interest that you must declare. You are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your affiliation.. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest and WP:Autobiography.

Not reasons for deletion, but I note that your management of this talk page has given rise to some concern. Messages to you can be easily recovered, so no particular point in deleting them. You seem to have changed your account name in an attempt to conceal that you were writing about yourself. You have been told earlier on this page to be careful about using multiple accounts, although I don't think this case merits further action.

It's not the worse I've seen, and I'll shortly post the deleted text to Draft:Diane Kochilas and clean it up a bit. You must also respond to the COI request above.
