Virginia Woolf edit

Hello! I reverted your addition of an external link to Virginia Woolf. The link was to a GMU library webpage that contained no useful information about Woolf. Please post on my talk page if you would like to discuss this. Cheers! Doctormatt (talk) 18:49, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, 72.83.15.95. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Oliver Twist, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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. It's pretty clear you're affiliated with Mason's SCRC - we welcome libraries adding (relevant) links, but you need to declare your connection and we ask that you be thoughtful about whether the link adds value to the page. I'd also encourage registering an account to make it easier to communicate with you. creffett (talk) 18:49, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. creffett (talk) 20:23, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DIRECTORY and WP:External links

Please do read these pages, and pop over to the Teahouse. It will help you to understand what is the value of an encyclopaedia, and what is not an encyclopaedia. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 01:31, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Virginia Historical Documents Collection (April 30)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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 organizations and companies). 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Virginia Historical Documents Collection and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Virginia Historical Documents Collection, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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, 72.83.15.95! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.
