Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (December 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

User:Zpattern/sandbox may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Thank you. ... discospinster _talk 02:07, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How is it promotional when it is a direct link based on the source. Why do all the other websites list for promotional reasons like IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, etc... I guess this is just for the big guys ONLY. So much for the hard working little guys. 2601:2C7:8F00:70C0:9C81:99BD:B000:C1DD (talk) 22:34, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, etc. are well known sites that are relied upon by many. Wikipedia is not the place for people to promote their own websites. ... discospinster _talk 01:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So how does a small group get started if we can't post links? 2601:2C7:8F00:70C0:9C81:99BD:B000:C1DD (talk) 02:39, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is not the concern of Wikipedia. ... discospinster _talk 18:41, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see… well I’ll contact an my attorney about a class action. Won’t the the first time. Time to put the old internet oligarchs to rest. 2601:2C7:8F00:70C0:D05B:5436:4D8:459E (talk) 19:31, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to BoxReview.com. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
