How do you do,

I made a contribution to Wikipedia 7 years, ago. It was concerning the yellow-bellied Flycatcher and the difference of 4 seconds, from the call of the Least Flycatcher. That was using Cornell labs: All about birds, but I noticed the difference and would like credit for it. please help me submit an appropriate and usable contribution. I don't have a four year degree, but I still notice the difference. I should like to remove the(Y-B-F-L) from my name, too.John(Y-B-F-L) (talk) 22:01, 17 June 2025 (UTC)John BatesJohn(Y-B-F-L) (talk) 22:01, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

:Looking at your contributions, the problem seems to be the initial lack of a reference for your claim. When you did add a source it said "Bates, John Christopher, Oklahoma City Community College, Cornell Online University" which makes no obvious sense and lacks a link to any website. Cornell is a reputable source, but you can't just say that without linking to a page like [https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Yellow-bellied_Flycatcher this one] I have no idea of the relevance of "Bates, John Christopher, Oklahoma City Community College", but it's unlikely to be a proper reference. The easiest way to lose (Y-B-F-L) from your account is to create a new one Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:15, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello, you deleted Draft:Grand Duchess Marciella Tsarevna as no content - but A1 critera for speedy deletion only applies in mainspace. Whilst the draft was likely never to go anywhere, it does come across as a bit bitey since most drafts will be deleted under G13 in 6 months anyway, so I don't think there's really any reason to delete a blank one.

You have deleted Draft:Techkon USA due to "advertising or promotion" without giving us a chance to edit the draft. First of all, we have followed the guidelines for source materials (e.g. links to company pages should only contain factual statements), and we have also used multiple secondary, independent, reliable, and in-depth sources to substantiate why the company is notable and deserves a page (it has won two major industry innovation awards in back to back years, sources are the industry organization and multiple industry journals). Third, we've disclosed that the editor of the article is a company employee. Fourth, our company is international in scale, with subsidiaries in Europe, Asia and USA.

Please undelete the page and/or provide specific details where the draft violates existing policies. MVBTechkonUSA (talk) 16:18, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Good day sir/ma

Please why my page was deleted Sellquid New (talk) 09:03, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

The page for Binaytara Foundation has been deleted after it was requested to be moved to Binaytara. The reason for deletion was promotional reasons. I do not want the content to come off as promotional at all, but I do want it to be accurate as a normal encyclopedic entry like these other similar organizations listed on Wikipedia: Cure4Kids , PATH , Partners in Health , Global Oncology.

Would you or someone you know who is better using/editing Wikipedia articles than me be willing to republish the page and keep just neutral informational content? I am happy to rewrite it to be more neutral if you would consider republishing it please? Thank you so much. Joanvaljean (talk) 20:10, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Joanvaljean

Hello Jimfbleak,

I am the original author of Draft:Chinmay Gaur, which was deleted under G11. I understand the need to enforce promotional policy. However, I believe the content may have been misjudged or could have been improved with guidance instead of immediate deletion.

I request a copy of the deleted content so I can revise it in accordance with Wikipedia’s neutrality standards.

I have been going through that user's creations because they don't create them with talk pages and saw the G11 of Cellina... I think there might be some misunderstanding here, from what I can tell this editor is not purposefully creating promotional articles but uses a businessman's English as a Second Language which can have the effect of appearing that way... But looking at their contributions, they are just so broad in scope that I can't believe that they are actually engaging in promotion and I don't think that there is any way to spin what they do as unambiguous advertising or promotion even though I've never seen that article. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:40, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

:Horse Eye's Back Cellina offers a wide range of products... Known for its affordable price point and frequent product innovation, the brand is available in major Taiwanese retailers... The brand is also famous amongst the Overseas Taiwanese and Chinese community... the Cellina classic cream acts as a mild to rich body moisturiser that is claimed to nourish, soften, whiten, and repair skin of all ages. I obviously agreed with the G11 CSD nomination, and deleted it on the basis that it's pure spam; I can't see any ambiguity in that. Whether they are actively promoting anywhere else, I don't know, since I only took a cursory look at their other contributions, but I don't accept that there is any misunderstanding with this one.

::That text you quoted isn't WP:SPAM... It is not exclusively promotional and could be easily rewritten, G11 is not met. You have convinced me that you are wrong where before I only suspected it. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:27, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

::I'm also still confused as to how you could believe that to be pure spam but took no action other than deleting the article... Why didn't you even advise the author of our policy against promotion if you genuinely believed that they violated it? I just don't see how the behavior could be so egregious that it merits a speedy delete of the article but literally no other action whatsoever, you need to actually explain that administrative decision.

:::Horse Eye's Back I believe I've explained my reasons to you. If you believe that the text I've quoted is neutral, factual encyclopaedic material, I dread to think what you imagine promotion would look like. And what's your interest in this? The editor concerned hasn't complained Jimfbleak - talk to me? 04:27, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
