Your submission at Articles for creation: JASI Masters Swimmers Club (May 16)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:NORG, lacks any sources or references. Essentially it is entirely original research, reads like club website

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.

Hello, I’m Ehs2018. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to List of XML markup languages have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

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 web site, 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.

Please unblock my account.

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).

Request reason:

This is not a promotional username. It is my actual last name. Yes, I added a link to the list of XML languages because we are working on the swiML project here at the university. I would like to build up a community around swiML, and having an entry in the list will enable others to find this XML standard easily. This is a genuine XML standard, and there is no reason for it not to be listed. Bartneck (talk) 01:43, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I'm not entirely clear on what the username issue is, but what you describe here is exactly the wrong reason to edit an existing article or create a new one. Wikipedia has no interest in promotional purposes like helping people find your project in search results, our only interest is in if a topic meets the notability criteria, as shown by significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a place to merely document things that exist. You'll have to find some other way to build up your community. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 07:36, 7 October 2024 (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.

331dot, the username issue is that this editor tried to spam https://github.com/bartneck/swiML into an article. Cullen328 (talk) 08:00, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your explanation. Isn't that just representative of their information on Github, like a filename? (I'm no expert on Github by any means) 331dot (talk) 08:04, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, but this is not a spam link. The project website for swiML is hosted on GitHub, which is the code sharing platform. The project comes from a work here at the University of Canterbury. We make the whole project available open source. This is an important and legitimate XML standard that deserves and entry in the list. But even if you do not agree with me on this, it is rather harsh that you completely and indefinantely block my account. It is my understanding that the Wikipedia is build upon contributions from the community. How can I contribute if you block my completely based on a dissagrement on a list entry? That does not seem proportional. Could you please at least unblock my account? Bartneck (talk) 02:31, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
