Hello 009o9,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged ContentBridge for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Trivialist ( talk) 16:58, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Heather Youmans, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Annie and Annie Get Your Gun. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article ContentBridge is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ContentBridge until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:42, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the disclosure statements you made on your user page.
I noticed, however, that ContentBridge was conspicuously absent from any mention on your user page, yet your contributions and comments on that article's talk page indicate that you have an association with that company.
Would you please update your disclosure statement? Thank you. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 16:13, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
I weighed in the ContentBridge discussion and I've found two articles I authored have been redirected to other pages ( Albert Okura: The Chicken Man with a 50 Year Plan and Bytemarks Café). In addition two other articles have been flagged for notability ( FLOW MMA and Yellow Green Beret: Stories of an Asian-American Stumbling Around U.S. Army Special Forces (series)). I've noticed that these changes were made after I voted on the ContentBridge article and it was done by the same user, Randykitty (who also voted on the article, albeit opposite of the position I voted for). These changes are distressing as it seems like retaliatory WP:WIKIHOUNDING. DependableSkeleton79 ( talk) 18:32, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello 009o9. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
009o9 ( talk) 19:08, 18 December 2014 (UTC)If you want to move something into your own userspace, you need to put "009o9/<title>" in the right hand box on the "move" form, not just "<title>", so that the result is "User:009o9/<title>". In this case, you did not actually need to move the draft, because as the notice above says, the article has been created at Jason Peterson.
What you did created a new user page User:Jason Peterson. If there were no such account, it wouldn't actually have made a new account, only a userpage which could be deleted by WP:CSD#U2 Nonexistent user.
In this case, as it happens, there is an account with that name. That account's contribution history shows that it has not edited for three years - three years to the day, by a curious coincidence. There has never been anything on the account's user page, so I have deleted what you accidentally put there. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 20:50, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello, 009o9, I saw that you made a draft for a new article at User:009o9/Computer-related occupations. According to WP:STALEDRAFT, "Short term hosting of potentially valid articles and other reasonable content under development or in active use is usually acceptable (the template {{ userspace draft}} can be added to the top of the page to identify these)." But in this case, you haven't edited your draft for a long time. If you are done, please donate it by moving User:009o9/Computer-related occupations to a Wikipedia:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts subpage (a participant may help). If you are not done, please finish it and move it. If you abandoned it, you may request it for deletion by putting "{{ db-u1}}" or donating it. Thank you. SD0001 ( talk) 07:07, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Similarly, you have 4 other drafts ( User:009o9/Cooper Smith Advertising, User:009o9/Lindsey Stirling discography, User:009o9/Never Gonna Be the Same Again and User:009o9/Topher Straus) listed at Category:Stale Userspace drafts that were last edited more than one year ago.

Hello, 009o9. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Draft:Draft Mitchell Kriegman, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. CookieMonster755 (talk) 00:45, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Carlos Vicioso, Abelardo Vicioso's son. I'm just noticing that my article about my father was denied to publish because it's a translation of the article about him in Wikipedia in Spanish, which it's true, BUT I WAS THE ONE WHO CONTRIBUTED WITH WIKIPEDIA.ES GIVING ALL THAT INFORMATION. So, of course, it has to be the same article, but translated. That's the biography of my father, not only because I'm his son and I knew him while alive, but also because he's a very renown person in my country, the Dominican Republic, and beyond, and his life is publicly debated in several Dominican books and articles, by the way reviewed for me.

This second session will take place on Tuesday, October 7 from 6pm to 10pm at the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive downtown. Please RSVP here if you plan to attend. The UC Riverside Wikipedia Loves Libraries event is an edit-a-thon targeting articles related to UC Riverside, SoCal, and beyond. Join students and faculty learning how to edit! This event will take place on Thursday, October 16 from 10am to 4pm at UCR's Tomás Rivera Library. Again, RSVPs are requested here. I hope to see you there!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robert Eringer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vanity Fair. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wik-Ed Women editing session CANCELED | |
---|---|
Due to health issues affecting one of the organizers, the third Wik-Ed Women editing session (originally scheduled for Tuesday, November 11) has been canceled. We expect the series to pick up again sometime in December. Sorry for the inconvenience, and hope to see you in the near future!

Hello 009o9. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
009o9 ( talk) 19:08, 18 December 2014 (UTC)If you want to move something into your own userspace, you need to put "009o9/<title>" in the right hand box on the "move" form, not just "<title>", so that the result is "User:009o9/<title>". In this case, you did not actually need to move the draft, because as the notice above says, the article has been created at Jason Peterson.
What you did created a new user page User:Jason Peterson. If there were no such account, it wouldn't actually have made a new account, only a userpage which could be deleted by WP:CSD#U2 Nonexistent user.
In this case, as it happens, there is an account with that name. That account's contribution history shows that it has not edited for three years - three years to the day, by a curious coincidence. There has never been anything on the account's user page, so I have deleted what you accidentally put there. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 20:50, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello, 009o9, I saw that you made a draft for a new article at User:009o9/Computer-related occupations. According to WP:STALEDRAFT, "Short term hosting of potentially valid articles and other reasonable content under development or in active use is usually acceptable (the template {{ userspace draft}} can be added to the top of the page to identify these)." But in this case, you haven't edited your draft for a long time. If you are done, please donate it by moving User:009o9/Computer-related occupations to a Wikipedia:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts subpage (a participant may help). If you are not done, please finish it and move it. If you abandoned it, you may request it for deletion by putting "{{ db-u1}}" or donating it. Thank you. SD0001 ( talk) 07:07, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Similarly, you have 4 other drafts ( User:009o9/Cooper Smith Advertising, User:009o9/Lindsey Stirling discography, User:009o9/Never Gonna Be the Same Again and User:009o9/Topher Straus) listed at Category:Stale Userspace drafts that were last edited more than one year ago. Please consider donating them to the WikiProject or improving them yourself. SD0001 ( talk) 07:07, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, 009o9. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Draft:Draft Mitchell Kriegman, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. CookieMonster755 (talk) 00:45, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Carlos Vicioso, Abelardo Vicioso's son. I'm just noticing that my article about my father was denied to publish because it's a translation of the article about him in Wikipedia in Spanish, which it's true, BUT I WAS THE ONE WHO CONTRIBUTED WITH WIKIPEDIA.ES GIVING ALL THAT INFORMATION. So, of course, it has to be the same article, but translated. That's the biography of my father, not only because I'm his son and I knew him while alive, but also because he's a very renown person in my country, the Dominican Republic, and beyond, and his life is publicly debated in several Dominican books and articles, by the way reviewed for me.
