Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (December 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DoubleGrazing were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet 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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Pib.rocks/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, 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 account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or website, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:12, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am sorry for submitting an article that was considered advertisement. I did not mean to write it in such way, my enthusiasm about the topic may have gotten the best of me. It was my first article submitted to Wikipedia and I tried to keep up with the guidelines. I have reread all the guidelines, understand now why the article was denied and I am asking for another chance to try again. I would love to become a valuable contributor to Wikipedia and I am willing to work harder for it in my next attempt. Pib.rocks (talk) 10:49, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators should consider discussing any unblock with the blocking administrator (see the blocking policy).

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, please replace this template with the following:

I did not mean to write it in such way, my enthusiasm about the topic may have gotten the best of me. It was my first article submitted to Wikipedia and I tried to keep up with the guidelines. I have reread all the guidelines, understand now why the article was denied and I am asking for another chance to try again.

Please select an option from [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, replacing {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.

Do you have a connection with Pib.rocks? 331dot (talk) 12:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have completed the rename from User:Pib.rocks, but not unblocked pending an answer to the above question. --Ahecht (TALK

I am part of the pib community. It's an Open Source project that anyone can contribute to. I am aware of the Wikipedia guidelines though and I know that I do not own this article and I will accept future edits of its content done by others, whether they are positive or negative. PinkAndBlue (talk) 07:54, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you be more specific, please; "part of the pib community" doesn't really tell us much? Your original user name was the same as the PIB website domain, which suggests you might work or hold some sort of 'official' role there. I'm part of my local golf club community, but I wouldn't register an account in the name of the club if I wasn't representing it somehow. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:22, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
