Welcome!

Hello, Creativeedge1, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Craig DiLouie, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

The page Draft:Craig DiLouie has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. — Diannaa (talk) 16:04, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

Please read referencing for beginners to understand how to properly use citations. The process of citing a source goes beyond merely placing numbers in brackets and then listing sources separately; proper citations generate a link between the cited material and the citation used to verify that material.

Conflict of interest and failure to disclose same

Information icon Hello, Creativeedge1. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page John R. Miles, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Orange Mike | Talk 14:57, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Orange Mike,
My apologies as I was unaware of this stipulation. Can we default back to John's original listing prior to me making changes and I will not edit his page moving forward. If there are any more edit s to be made moving forward, I will ensure that the individual making them does not have a vested interest in John or his work.
Please advise and thank you,

Hi, How do I do this?
I would recommend that you declare a conflict of interest with the subject, especially if you are being paid to edit the article. Creativeedge1 (talk) 17:03, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Declaration of conflict of interest and paid editing is a mandatory minimum. Next, you have to understand that you cannot "have" anybody make edits you think would be useful. Your role must be limited to offering the reliable sources and a suggestion of an edit that you believe would genuinely improve the article, regardless of its effect on the subject's reputation. --Orange Mike | Talk 22:59, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
