advertising/spam

Unblock request
I'm a new user which blocking my account without notice or warning is unwarranted. I went through the guidelines before submitting my article for review. Having requested for it to be reviewed and for other editors to edit and contribute to it should be considered rather than blocking my account indefinitely. I request for my account to be reinstated because there wasn't anything associated with advertising/spam with it as claimed my Pi zero. Tmbiamno (talk) 19:28, 14 October 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm willing to give you another chance. However, you need to understand what the problem was with those two articles.


 * We do not publish advertising. It would violate our neutrality policy.  Our neutrality policy also prohibits us from publishing opinions, or subjective or controversial claims, as if they were fact; and prohibits biased wording and biased presentation, as well as subtler forms of bias such as misleading selective omission of information.


 * Two other important policies that I can see, at a glance, were not followed: each synthesis article must have at least two mutually independent trust-worthy sources corroborating its focal event; and self-publication is a severe violation of site policy.  If I were looking further I'd probably next investigate freshness and relevance.


 * I suggest you read WN:Pillars of Wikinews writing, which is a compact overview of what we do at Wikinews (it's very dense, packing a lot of information into a few paragraphs). Then there's a great tutorial at WN:Writing an article.  --Pi zero (talk) 22:19, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

And also......
I'll be happy to help you in some way, if possible! A few tiny items: We have a fairly steep learning curve here, but I PROMISE YOU, you can handle it.....it just takes humility and perseverance.....that's all! Focus on a news EVENT....not advertisements, or investigative journalism (although that can sometimes fit, within proper context) or OpEd pieces, etc. We report on news events here.....from a neutral standpoint. Being here has RADICALLY improved my writing. News writing requires quick, terse, spot-on sentence structure. 'This' happened, then 'That' happened, bop-bip-boop. If you want to write, you can do that here. Hang in there! --Bddpaux (talk) 04:47, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
