Welcome![edit]

Hello, Smart Retract, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Smart Retract, Inc., 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.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! •Cyberwolf• 14:35, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Draft:Smart Retract, Inc., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. •Cyberwolf• 14:35, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

  • Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
  • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
  • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
  • Provide a new username.

To do this, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I realized I inadvertently created a username that violates Wiki policy (company name) so instead of applying for a name change I created a new username, which then violated the same IP address rule. I'd like the Smart Retract username to be changed to JC1925 (which already exists because I created it) and be unbanned from this IP so I can fix the article correctly for reuploading/reconsideration. I understand, appreciate, and applaud Wikipedia's rules and want to fix the errors of the article. Thank you for your assistance. Smart Retract (talk) 19:07, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This account is blocked directly, the IP address is autoblocked to prevent account creation. As you have this account, focus on getting your account unblocked. We cannot rename this account to an existing account name(I have now blocked the other account you created and edited from). You will need to propose a different username. Please read about conflict of interest and paid editing(which includes general employment). You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your company. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If you are interested in being a more general contributor, please tell what other topics you will edit about in the short term. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 09:34, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

Thank you for the information. I request to be unblocked to continue to be a general contributor to Wikipedia. As you can see from contributions since May, I'm interested to continue to contribute and learn. Topics of interest include general copyediting contributions and eliminating words that encourage bias. Please consider this request. Thank you.
Please include a decline or accept reason.

Requested username:

Request reason:

Reason to be unblocked: I understand the reasonings and wish to be unblocked to continue to contribute to Wikipedia through copyediting and helping Wikipedia always align with the 5 pillars: 1.) Encyclopedia, 2.) Neutral point of view, 3.) Free content anyone can use & edit, 4.) Treat each other with respect, and 5.) Wikipedia has no firm rules. Thank you for this consideration.

Decline reason:

The requested username still represents the business. Cabayi (talk) 16:32, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

I am conscientiously trying to follow the directions provided in the above talk area to follow the rules and change my username. Thank you for your attention to this.

Decline reason:

Your proposed username looks okay. You still need to:
  • Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
  • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
  • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
