Welcome to Wikipedia, HKSGGP! I'm GoldRomean, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia! GoldRomean (talk) 01:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

• To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then make a new one.
• If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page): ((unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~)).

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be 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.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~)). 

Thank you. WaggersTALK 11:06, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on User:HKSGGP/sandbox, 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.

Requested username:

MasterTalent67 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Trying to follow up with Wikipedia rules and provide neutral username, to avoid any complications against the regulations here. I want to set up a clear and appropriate username that can make it easier for others to identify me as an editor and help Wikipedia. HKSGGP (talk) 13:25, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This choice of new username is not acceptable, as it suggests you have a position of authority on Wikipedia("chief editor") that you do not have. Please choose something else. 331dot (talk) 07:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is another issue I have seen, in that you claim that you personally created the logo of AR Pay. If so, that's fine, but by uploading it to Commons you have made it available for anyone(including competitors) to use for any purpose with attribution, something the company may not want to do, as by doing so someone else could take, use, and sell the logo and the company would not be entitled to any money from the sale of its own logo. If you did not create the logo, or do not want to make it available in such a way, you need to immediately go to Commons and request its deletion. Commons only hosts "free" images where the copyright permits reuse for any purpose by anyone with attribution. Logos are typically uploaded to this Wikipedia directly and used under "fair use" rules.

The underlying point here too is that you seem to be associated with this company, if so the Terms of Use require that to be declared, see WP:PAID(which includes employment in any capacity) as well as WP:COI. 331dot (talk) 07:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot Since AR Pay is owned by the HKS Global Group (which is the current username) it's really a obvious PAY/COI issue. Nobody (talk) 07:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I suspected a connection due to the logo but wasn't clear on what they acronym meant. I've decided to harden this block to prevent account creation and IP editing. 331dot (talk) 07:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello HKSGGP,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged AR-Pay for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
