Orphaned non-free image File:Dryver Company Logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Dryver Company Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:22, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

October 2019

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest and notability guidelines.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. MER-C 17:19, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Hdkuehl (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I understand that I was blocked for making direct edits to pages for clients for which I was getting paid. I thought the right procedure was to disclose my relationships and then it was fine if the edits and content were neutral and non-promotional. I understand now that I should not make direct edits to any pages for which I have a paid relationship or other conflict of interest

Decline reason:

Procedural decline due to duplicate unblock requests Chetsford (talk) 05:22, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

I understand now that I should not make direct edits to any pages for which I have a paid relationship or other conflict of interest

Accept reason:

The editor notes the issue with their original edits and has clearly taken the time to familiarize themselves with the correct process for future edits. While the editor is probably only ever going to be a COI editor, I'm convinced they're clear on the process for making edit requests and using AfC.

Hi Hdkuehl - thank you for your cooperation and your unusually swift understanding of the issue of WP:PAID. I see that you did, in fact, make a disclosure prior to editing so thank you for doing that. Can you verify how, in the future, you would propose edits to pages with which you had a COI? I imagine that, if we could just verify you understand the correct procedure, we could unblock you forthwith as this seems to be a case of misunderstanding of policy rather than malicious intent. Chetsford (talk) 05:26, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Chetsford: Hi - Thank you for your response. I have a lot of respect for Wikipedia's mission and want to do this right. From the documentation I've reviewed (the wiki on Conflict of Interest and the CoI Noticeboard, specifically), it looks like I should suggest revisions to a page using that page's talk page and the request edit template, vs. making the changes myself. I should also disclose my relationship on the talk page and whenever discussing those changes, in addition to keeping my user page updated with that info. For new pages, I should use the Articles for Creation process. I started the process right for the Losant page I just wrote, but what I did wrong was 1) I should have added a note to the talk page about my connection 2) I should have added the code to submit the draft for review and waited for someone else to take a look, instead of moving it to live myself. I think I"m understanding the process correctly now, but please let me know if I'm still off. I appreciate your patience. Hdkuehl (talk) 14:51, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hdkuehl - it sounds like you're familiar with the process! Thanks for taking the time to review it, 90% of people don't. You may also want to review WP:EDITREQ and feel free to use Template:Request edit since requests limited to the Talk page may not always attract third-party editor attention. You are now unblocked.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Losant IoT (February 14)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Losant IoT and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Losant IoT, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your draft article, Draft:Losant IoT

Hello, Hdkuehl. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Losant IoT".

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! Lapablo (talk) 20:38, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
