Your submission at Articles for creation: Columbus Ga Vipers (August 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Devonian Wombat was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Speedy deletion nomination of Pro Basketball Association

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 Pro Basketball Association, 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.

Hello Adluvbasketball. 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:Adluvbasketball. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Adluvbasketball|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. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 05:38, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for advertising or promotion.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 07:05, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to appeal the block placed on my Wikipedia account. I understand that my recent edits to the Pro Basketball Association page were flagged as promotional or advertising content. However, I assure you that my intentions were solely to contribute accurate and informative content to the page, without any ulterior motives such as advertising or monetary gain.

As an avid enthusiast of basketball and a supporter of the Pro Basketball Association, I wanted to update the information on the league to reflect its current status and achievements accurately. Unfortunately, it seems that my edits were misconstrued as promotional material. I deeply regret any misunderstanding and would like to rectify the situation.

In order to ensure that my contributions meet Wikipedia's guidelines and standards, I am committed to rewriting the information on the Pro Basketball Association page in a neutral and encyclopedic manner. I will focus on providing verifiable facts and citing reliable sources to support the information presented. By adhering strictly to Wikipedia's policies, I am confident that I can contribute valuable content to the page without violating any guidelines.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and respectfully request that my account be unblocked so that I may continue to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. Thank you for your consideration. Adluvbasketball (talk) 13:28, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will discuss your block with you, but that means with you. I don't talk to chatbots. So if you'd like to discuss possibly being unblocked, please say in your own words, without use of a chatbot, why you think that is. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 13:44, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe my account should be unblocked because my intentions were genuine and sincere. I was editing the Pro Basketball Association page to offer fans and other interested individuals essential information about the league's history. My motives were not driven by personal or financial gain. As a lover of the sport and an advocate for knowledge dissemination, I firmly believe that people should have access to information if they so desire.
