Your submission at Articles for creation: Jon Clifton (September 10)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by RPSkokie were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 people). 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.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Jon Clifton and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, 1207hlg! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! RPSkokie (talk) 05:57, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please read MOS:LEDE[edit]

Please read MOS:LEDE, and note that the English-language Wikipedia is a global project. Spamming the ledes of multiple articles with Gallup poll data relating solely to the U.S. is inappropriate.

Further to this, I have to ask whether you are connected in any way with the Gallup organisation, since your edits so far seem exclusively related to them, in one way or another. If this is the case, you need to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Use of Wikipedia to promote outside interests is contrary to policy.

Concern regarding Draft:Jon Clifton[edit]

Hello, 1207hlg. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Jon Clifton, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 06:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reference formatting[edit]

Hey thanks for adding useful updated references to Gallup polls. I know it's slightly more work, but it's helpful to use a proper citation template like Template:Cite web. They have a huge number of fields, but only a few are required.

The wikitext looks something like: <ref>{{cite web |title=Global Indicator: Hybrid Work |url=https://www.gallup.com/401384/indicator-hybrid-work.aspx |publisher=[[Gallup, Inc.]] |access-date=3 March 2023}}</ref> VisualEditor can autogenerate this for you sometimes, and the only other key thing to add if it exists is the names of the authors and the date it was published.

Your draft article, Draft:Jon Clifton[edit]

Hello, 1207hlg. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Jon Clifton".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:03, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
