Ca talk to me! 09:40, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Hello CharlesBNB, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Wallo Brands, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wallo Brands.
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with ((Re|BuySomeApples))
. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!

Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of Americans of English descent, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Schazjmd (talk) 14:51, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions to Scholaro. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. BoraVoro (talk) 09:48, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the newly created article. Please have a look at Wikipedia:Citation overkill and try to avoid adding a disproportionate amount of references to support your statements. Note that the presence of many citations can be counterproductive: not only does citation overkill impact the readability of an article, it can call the notability of the subject into question by editors

A tag has been placed on File:The photo of Georg Weissacher was clicked by the photographer Mariano Vivanco.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation of https://www.linkedin.com/in/georg-weissacher-09071646/overlay/photo/ and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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. Broc (talk) 13:44, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions to XJ Music. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. ~ A412 talk! 01:01, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
The article Shayamal Vallabhjee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Sources are passing mentions, interviews, profiles and some of them are not even reliable. There is no significant coverage in third party reliable sources that discuss the subject directly and in details. Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. GSS 💬 15:03, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shayamal Vallabhjee until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.GSS 💬 04:29, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Baltic Studios, 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".

Hello, CharlesBNB. Thank you for your work on Renzo Vitale. Klbrain, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
One of the problems with giving multiple references (excessive citations) is that it makes it clear that most of the references are the result of churnalism. So, I suggest being more selective with the referencing, preferring the language version of article in the language of the project (in this case, English). There's also quite a lot of repetition between section, so the current version could do with a bit of a prune!

Hello CharlesBNB. The nature of your edits 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 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 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:CharlesBNB. The template ((Paid)) can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: ((paid|user=CharlesBNB|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. Do you have any paid editing to declare? Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 17:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:CharlesBNB, and the template ((Paid)) can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: ((paid|user=CharlesBNB|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName))
. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. signed, Rosguill talk 14:41, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text ((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~))
at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:
CharlesBNB (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I made a mistake by not disclosing my paid editing. I was hired for a single page, and now I want to disclose it on my talk page. From now on, I will not engage in paid editing work, and if I do, I will disclose it on my talk page. Furthermore, I will never move an article directly to the main space; instead, I will submit each article for review. I confirm that I have read and understand the Terms of Use and the requirements for disclosing paid editing. CharlesBNB (talk) 19:58, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I find the conversation below compelling enough to decline your request. Both the "brother" explanation and the "Don't mess with my articles. Wikipedia is not your property" comment are unimpressive. Note that I've blocked your Itsmehesse account as well. Ponyobons mots 19:12, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
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.
