User talk:JustinMicroScooters

Thanks for your contributions to Micro Kickboard. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 19:12, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, JustinMicroScooters, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your recent contributions.

I noticed that you have disclosed a conflict of interest and would like to thank you for being forthcoming about that. To keep Wikipedia neutral, you are strongly discouraged from directly editing any existing articles you have a conflict of interest with. Proposed edits can be suggested on the talk pages of such articles, and it is strongly suggested that new articles in such an area be created through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

You are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. If you have not done so already, you can post the mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:JustinMicroScooters. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JustinMicroScooters|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or click here to ask a question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

Hi! I appreciate you outlining the areas for improvement and reasons for removal of the article about Micro Kickboard. In truth, I'm more than happy to request an independent editor for this content as it's hard to be objective about our employers. That said, I created this article primarily due to the pressure caused by AI and its impact on search visibility. The heavy use of Wikipedia as an initial source for AI in SERP's is now causing what I'm sure is an annoying influx of brands seeking relevancy here.

As an older millennial who has loved (and donated to) Wikipedia for many years, I just want to confirm that my intent isn't to harm the ecosystem built here, but to comply with my employers request to get this article published in an ethical and considerate fashion.

If you have any specific notes on how I can go about modifying the content of the article to either make it easier for another editor take over, or to tidy up myself, I am all ears.

And lastly - thank you for not deleting this outright, and for requesting that I follow protocol instead. I'll admit that for as much as I've used Wikipedia, I hadn't previously contributed, and wasn't as aware as I needed to be of the processes in place for article structure, content, and submission.

Cheers!

Hi there! I appreciate adding the payment disclosure to your userpage.

Please note that Wikipedia is not a directory, meaning that it does not include topics just because those topics exist. Rather, all subjects need to abide by Wikipedia's notability guidelines, in this case, company notability. In general, notability is established through reliable, independent sources with significant coverage of the subject. Wikipedia is not interested in what companies have to say about themselves. Further, your boss should be informed that having an article isn't necessarily a good thing.

If you would like to continue editing about your employer, you'll want to be wary of our policies regarding promotional editing. Additionally, you will need to submit your work for review through the Articles for Creation process. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 20:06, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

I have just reverted your edits to one of you r empoyer's articles. Pplease ensure that you request edits on the talk page in the future. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 16:44, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Draft:Micro Kickboard, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 19:39, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

As a paid editor you are expected as part of your remuneration to abide by all of the rules. You are paid to discover, learn, understand, and implement all relevant rules, policies, and procedures. Further, you are paid to write neutral and correctly referenced prose which passes these criteria. This is an amateur project. Amateur editors do not generally feel the need to assist paid editors to receive their pay.

I am not averse to good paid editors. If you can write good, neutral, well referenced prose as a draft and submit it for review and acceptance, and receive payment for doing so, then good for you. I welcome you here

However

If you want to use the WP:AFC process to submit your draft more than once, thinking in your error that we will help you get paid, then you have another think coming.

If you are unable to create a draft that requires more than one corrective review, then I do not welcome you here. The only advice I will offer will be within my reviews. I will not otherwise help you to get paid.

If you create your draft as a live article or move your draft to become a live article, then you will discover that this is agaisnt the terms of being a paid editor. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 19:43, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.Deb (talk) 09:09, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
