Your submission at Articles for creation: Plastiq (August 30)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reasons left by SamHolt6 were: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Rejecting the topic out of hand; the draft is substantively unchanged since the last rejection, and has not been noted as being a likely WP:NCORP failure by several previous editors. Even if these notability questions were to be answered, the draft has been primarily edited by a blocked undisclosed paid editor (part of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Josher8a), a definite violation of Wikipedia's terms of use. As such, I am concluding that the topic infringes both on WP:NOT, WP:NOTADVERTISING, and as such is unsuitable for the encyclopedia.

AfC notification: Draft:Plastiq has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Plastiq. Thanks! Worldbruce (talk) 15:30, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Worldbruce: Following up, Thanks for sharing Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources it was really helpful. I replaced the references from crunchbase, techcrunch and some I don't remember the name with the wsj, the daily dot, and venturebeat ones. I think the article is now more solid thanks to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Plastiq

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Plastiq, 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.

@QueerEcofeminist: I never got the chance.My opinion doesn't matter JamesRodir (talk) 19:19, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

September 2019

Hello, I'm QueerEcofeminist. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions 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. QueerEcofeminist^{"cite! even if you fight"!!!} [they/them/their] 03:27, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@QueerEcofeminist: @DGG: I guess I do not know how to write a not promotional article because I really believed the article was written in a neutral tone and spoke about the subject in a similar way of any other company in wikipedia. Was it necessary to delete the draft? it was just a draft awaiting for a review. You could have:

Reviewed it and comment what do you think is promotional to help me understand.
Send me a message to explain what I am doing wrong.
Tell me why Plastiq cannot get his own article.
Not do anything.
or review it and approve the submission.

Instead, you chose to delete the draft and block me which its just overkill because I was just working a draft through AfC and trying to make the best draft. JamesRodir (talk) 19:35, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Hello, JamesRodir. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See WP:PAID. Thank you. – Athaenara ✉ 05:24, 18 September 2019 (UTC) @Athaenara:[reply]

Hello I've disclosed COI on my userpage and in the talk page of the draft, and I have read WP:COI that is why I sent the draft to AfC in the first place. btw, 'we welcome your contributions' is not well recieved after you delete my contributions and block me. JamesRodir (talk) 19:43, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

– Athaenara ✉ 05:24, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Athaenara: do you hate me? I have done nothing wrong. My user page clearly states that I am going to maintain plastiq articles, I am not trying to do advertising. Trying to have an article isn't advertising and trying to give a company its place in the encyclopedia isn't wrong. I want the article to be neutral and well referenced, if you thought that what I was doing was wrong, you could have message me and tell me what it was so I can think about it and find a solution because we can talk JamesRodir (talk) 20:03, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

JamesRodir (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

this block is unfair, I've disclosed and regarding what you think, that I am doing advertising. I am not or at least it is not my intention. I just want to give Plastiq an article. I don't think Wikipedia forbids my edits. My intention is to maintain Plastiq articles while following WP:PROMOTION WP:NOT and WP:COI. Deleting and blocking is just an authoritarian and dictator like move, If the article I wrote before was promotional I was unaware and I would like to discuss it so I can be better JamesRodir (talk) 11:30, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

"I just want to give Plastiq an article." ... so that you can collect a paycheck from them. Our readers expect our articles to be reliable, independent and encyclopedic. Your article is none of these things; it is promotional because you were commissioned to write it. MER-C 16:35, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@MER-C: its unfair to say that. Not promotional just because I wrote it. I don't think you read my article. why isn't it reliable or independent? references are independent. People at wsj, the new york times or any press are comissioned to write and Wikipedians use their articles as reliable references. Just because someone is tasked to write something doesn't automatically makes it wrong or promotional. That logic might be a little wrong, let's go deeper. Why do you think my article wasn't independent? I definitely used sources following Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources. The history section did not use any positive adjective or praised the company, it was just a timeline of the company doings. The service section was a little less neutral but I can always rewrite. I don't follow your logic of commissioned and COI edits are permitted in the encyclopedia as long and we use AfC and respect the guidelines. JamesRodir (talk) 22:13, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

JamesRodir (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am not doing advertising or at least it is not my intention. I am a paid editor for plastiq just as stated in my user page . I don't think Wikipedia forbids my edits. My goal is to maintain Plastiq articles while following WP:PROMOTION WP:NOT and WP:COI. Can we just discuss this? why are you so against my edits in particular? Paid editting isn't illegal and people learn doing, I am not an expert and maybe my tone wasn't the most neutral but I want to improve. You can ban me for this because you are an admin but I've never really done anything to hurt the encyclopedia and I wish to work with you so we can all be happy.Remember, according to Wikipedia:Sanctions against editors should not be punitive I quote 'If you have a problem with the actions of a user, why not try to discuss the matter with her or him before blocking? There is accountability for administrative actions.' and 'Some editors, even some administrators on Wikipedia forget why we are here and begin to adopt a punitive model for Wikipedia politics. They support blocks, bans, and enforcement of Arbitration Committee sanctions in order to exact retribution on "bad users" rather than helping to create and improve encyclopedic content. This is regrettable and problematic, not to mention contrary to the reason for blocks, bans, and enforcements as stated in the Wikipedia guidelines and policies linked in the previous sentence' JamesRodir (talk) 22:24, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I think you'd have to explain your connection to Derekfisherfl (talk · contribs) (who is on the same IP address as you) and why you're editing the same articles as Josher8a (talk · contribs). NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:59, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@NinjaRobotPirate: Derekfisherfl is a coworker, we don't really edit from the same Ip, I guess it happened a few times. Right now, I am only editting Plastiq and I cannot check the history but I do not recall if Josher8a editted it and if he has I do not have any connection with him. JamesRodir (talk) 01:47, 24 September 2019 (UTC) @NinjaRobotPirate: I don't get what does this have to do with my block... JamesRodir (talk) 01:48, 24 September 2019 (UTC) @NinjaRobotPirate:@SamHolt6: Can you stop deleting my draft? why don't you let me edit? what do you want? What do I have to do to edit Plastiq draft without it being deleted? I created user:Cannot&wont but just because this account is blocked, I need to work and I am not getting answers. Turns out you are faster to delete my draft than to answer. I just want to be able to write a draft and get AfC review like everyone else in Wikipedia. I don't even have any connection with Josher8a, what did he do so bad? is plastiq damned? JamesRodir (talk) 02:04, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@JamesRodir: hello again. When I first interacted with you (you contacted me to request an AfC draft be reviewed), I found it to be highly disingenuous of you to have removed comments placed by a past AfC reviewer. After that revelation, I had no interest in interacting further, noting that their are other AfC reviewers that would be willing to offer you assistance—I am also under no obligation to provide timely responses. However, when I noticed a very clear copy of an draft I had looked at before, I felt a strong obligation to file a Sockpuppet investigation; taking license with AfC volunteers is one thing, but violating SOCK policy and Wikipedia's terms of service—which you have done—is quite another. Best. SamHolt6 (talk) 02:37, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If the block is a CheckUser or Oversight block, was made by the Arbitration Committee or to enforce an arbitration decision (arbitration enforcement), or is unsuitable for public discussion, you should appeal to the Arbitration Committee.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.

hey lets talk it out

@MER-C: I want to be unblocked, I accept my mistake but as long as we live we can improve. I still want to edit for Plastiq following Wikipedia guidelines. I do not want to do ads, I just want to contribute something like this IZettle. It should be possible for me. I presented sources that meet WP:CORPDEPTH and I do think the company pass WP:NCORP. I'd need to rewrite it to be encyclopedic after this but I want to do it. How can I help you? lets talk this. Everything I've done was in that draft, i did not vandalize anything. I am sorry to bother but lets be objective, I am positive that I want to do this, I am taking responsibility for my actions here and I want to improve. Can you please unblock my account? JamesRodir (talk) 23:47, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What else can I do? I want to help the encyclopedia while also completing my task. But I am just not sure how? I am new to Wikipedia, I my work with Plastiq was unexpected and I've been trying to rush it but I am been reading a lot of articles too.
