Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Hi, just an FYI - you can/should remove maintenance templates once you've addressed the issue. Some are added/removed automatically by bots but most need to be manually added/removed. I have removed the Orphan tag from Charlton Horn Fair for you. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 16:00, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

June 2021[edit]

Hello Pingbruise. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Bug Bite Thing, 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 very 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 extremely 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:Pingbruise. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Pingbruise|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. Kleinpecan (talk) 15:25, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kleinpecan. I am not being compensated – I'm a big believer in their product (I get skeeter syndrome really bad) and I'm a huge fan of Shark Tank. I'm also wanting to be more active in contributing to the Wikipedia community. Thank you. Pingbruise (talk) 15:39, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still new to this, why did this other user Fastily delete the page I'm working on? Pingbruise (talk) 15:50, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The page you created has been moved to Draft:Bug Bite Thing, so you can continue working on it there. From the edit summary, it would appear that the style in which the page is written was judged to be too promotional, and so would need to be amended to be neutral to be suitable for Wikipedia. — Smjg (talk) 16:10, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I will make edits. How will I know when to publish again? Pingbruise (talk) 16:11, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Kelley Higney[edit]

Hello Pingbruise,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kelley Higney for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

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

I am working on the revisions now! Thank you! Pingbruise (talk) 17:42, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Bug Bite Thing[edit]

Not sure why you thought it was okay to move a draft article into mainspace without waiting for it to be reviewed, but it's not - so it's back in draft space. Deb (talk) 17:54, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Where do I get it reviewed? Apologies and thank you for your help. Pingbruise (talk) 18:07, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can I please revise the Kelley Higney page? Pingbruise (talk) 18:25, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As you've said it's a "complement" to the other article, why not wait until the other article has passed review? Deb (talk) 18:42, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok will do. Thank you. Pingbruise (talk) 20:43, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bug Bite Thing (June 23)[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 Tol 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.

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:Bug Bite Thing and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Bug Bite Thing, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

The Bug Bite Thing article and Wikipedia guidelines.[edit]

In addition to issues with Draft:Bug Bite Thing already mentioned by others, you should probably read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine), since I strongly suspect that the use of the source cited in the 'clinical trials' section of the draft violates this guideline.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bug Bite Thing (June 24)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

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.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This still reads like an ad or press release for the company. Needs more neutral descriptions.

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.

Your draft article, Draft:Bug Bite Thing[edit]

Hello, Pingbruise. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Bug Bite Thing".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:31, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
