Promotional editing

[edit]

In Draft:Wild Asia’s Responsible Tourism Awards, which you created, not only were substantial pieces of text copied word-for-word from another source, in violation of copyright, but also the text was unambiguously promotional: it read as though it was written by someone who wished to persuade us that the awards are a good thing. Such promotional editing is contrary to Wikipedia policy. It may be that you did not intend to promote the awards, and that the promotional tone of the page was a result of copying from a web site which was trying to promote the awards. If so, that is another reason for not copying from other web sites, apart from copyright, since pages on an organisation's own web site are rarely written from a neutral point of view. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make (which you will, because we all do) will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.

Sockpuppet investigation

[edit]

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Infofuture, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community. Icewhiz (talk) 13:22, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:GSTC Logo Horizontal.png

Thanks for uploading File:GSTC Logo Horizontal.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 12:31, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Roi.eco. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Global Sustainable Tourism Council".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 20:58, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, why did you remove the COI disclosure from your user-page? Unless you never had a COI, I think you should restore it. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:33, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please clarify your COI situation, especially since you have edited the article of a competitor organization, The International Ecotourism Society. —C.Fred (talk) 18:42, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Justlettersandnumbers and C.Fred, COI restored. All edits to other Wikipedia pages, that are not indicated in my COI, are done by myself in my own free time, without relationship or affiliation to the organization of which its Wikipedia page is mention in my COI.
@C.Fred: there was no and there is no competition between the two organizations. 1:18, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
All the same, it may be prudent if you avoid editing the TIES article directly, especially since there are some other editors who appear to have connections with TIES or a pro-TIES bias. It will make the matter easier to sort out. —C.Fred (talk) 22:40, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
