User page deletion

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Sedai2014, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: Click here to contest this speedy deletion which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Theroadislong (talk) 20:03, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

SEDAI campaign

Hello. Are you in any way connected with the SEDAI campaign on Facebook? Bw --Orland (talk) 06:31, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Orland:. Yes, in the way that I support movements against discrimination, especially discrimination in education. I am among few thousands supporters of SEDAI then. If I edit anything in Wikipedia, I shall do it responsibly following Wikipedia policies and best practices. Please let me know if you think there is something in my writing that may be regarded as self-promoting. I avoided writing about SEDAI itself since it has potential COI. I will just request an article about that. Sedai2014 (talk) 17:36, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO almost all your edits are COI, since you are campaigning one side of an ongoing trial, and you are promoting the view that this trial is about discrimination, while the other part in the trial sees it as a matter of "knowledge potentially usable in development of mass destruction weapons". This is therefore highly COI and POV, and I will propose a deletion. Bw --Orland (talk) 18:15, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is not only about trial. It is a bigger picture that the trial is only a part of that. We can discuss this more in the deletion project page then.

Hello Jytdog. Last year when I made this account someone showed up with "immediate deleting" tag and I panicked and changed the user discription, but I did not know that the username itself needs to follow PAG...Just now I asked for changing username.Sedai2014 (talk) 01:03, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Advocacy and Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hi Sedai2014. I work on conflict of interest and advocacy issues in Wikipedia. Per the notice above, please do change your username so it clearly reflects a person and not a movement or the like.

I'd like to make sure you are aware of what we are all about here. First and foremost, there are a lot of things that Wikipedia is not, and one of them, is a platform for advocacy. Please read WP:SOAPBOX - that is both a policy and a "pillar" - something very essential to the very guts of this place. (that bit at SOAPBOX is part of a larger document called "What Wikipedia is Not" - as this is "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit", as you can imagine all kinds of people come here to hijack Wikipedia - some people come here and try to create promotional content about their companies (classic "COI"), some come to tell everybody how bad it is to eat meat, some come to grind various political axes... we get all kinds of abuse. It all comes down to violations of SOAPBOX.)

For non-financial advocacy issues, we have two very good essays offering advice - one is WP:ADVOCACY and the other is WP:SPA (the latter stands for "single purpose account"). Please do read them both. And also WP:COI - being involved in a dispute outside of Wikipedia does constitute a conflict of interest within Wikipedia.

Bottom line, is that if you continue to attempt to use Wikipedia as a platform for advocacy (we don't care what the cause is - raw capitalism or the most important social justice issue on the planet), you are going to lose access to Wikipedia. Editing Wikipedia is not a right - it is a privilege. One that is available to everybody, but one that can be lost by abusing Wikipedia. So please..... cool it. Please.

It takes time to really be what we call WP:HERE (as in "here to build an encyclopedia"). Only you can decide if you will be here, or not here.

If you do want to be here, and become part of the community and help with our work, you are very welcome and there are lots of people who will be willing to help you. Because we are a community with only a minimal hierarchy, the community has puts lots of policies and guidelines ("PAG") in place that govern not only content, but how we treat each other. You agree to follow those policies and guidelines every time you edit here - that agreement is in Terms of Use that is linked-to, at the bottom of every page. That is the basis on which we restrict the privileges of people who are NOTHERE.

It takes time to learn the letter - and most importantly, the spirit - of PAG. One of the hardest things for new users (especially passionate ones) to learn, is that PAG exist at all and that they form the foundation for everything that happens here. Passionate new editors are often in too much of a hurry to even wrap their heads around that. They tend to create a lot of fires, and then either leave angry, or get thrown out of here. Either way, it is unproductive drama for everybody involved.

So really - it is your choice! Slow down and learn, and stop trying to use Wikipedia as a SOAPBOX, or end up very frustrated (and frustrating a lot of people in the process - people who are volunteers and could be doing the work of building the encyclopedia, if they didn't have to deal with drama).

So... good luck! I will be happy to answer any questions you have. You can reply here if you like - I am watching your page now. Jytdog (talk) 00:16, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Roger that. took me a little time to read through the links you provided though.Sedai2014 (talk) 01:08, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Do you get it, though? I wonder. I hope so. Right now what you guys are doing is very wrong here in Wikipedia. Jytdog (talk) 01:13, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the PAG were little vague when it comes to working in a volunteer basis but now I know how it should look like

PenLover (talk) 16:09, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ok, if you have questions, pls feel free to ask me or others. Jytdog (talk) 22:28, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)

Hi. I was wondering if you would be interested in contributing articles to Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)? It needs contributors to increase diversity of content from different countries and bring about large scale improvements. The idea at some point will be to host a National Contest related to your country of interest. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:14, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
