Please help me with... I published this article, but when I search for it the article doesn't show up. Joan Brown (artist) Claire.ringer (talk) 21:19, 17 November 2020 (UTC) Claire.ringer (talk) 21:19, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It takes time for search engines to index pages, you will need to be patient. Since it has been formally marked as reviewed, it should not be too long. 331dot (talk) 21:50, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

November 2020[edit]

Hi Claire.ringer! I noticed that you have marked several edits as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:46, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ThatMontrealIP! Thank you for this! I'm a new editor and am still learning the ropes, so I appreciate this clarification. I will be sure to do it correctly in the future! Claire.ringer (talk) 21:58, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Claire.ringer. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Joan Brown (artist), 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. Additionally is there any additional conflict of interest to Oklahoma State University? Jooojay (talk) 09:37, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Joojay! Thank you for this concern. I am a student at Oklahoma State University, which does hold the interview used as the primary source in this article. However, Joan Brown is in no way associated with OSU, I do not know her personally, and this article was in no way sponsored by her tribe. I chose to link to her interview to make it easy for readers to access that primary source. Finally, on my user page I do have a brief bio that declares I am a student at OSU but promises not to let that conflict with my work on Wikipedia. Is this sufficient to prevent any conflict of interest, or is there something else I should add as well? I'd like to avoid this concern in the future, so any tips are welcome. Thanks again!

Draft:Patta Lauren Thomas[edit]

Hello, Claire,

I have moved your article back to Draft space because I don't think it's ready yet for the main space of the project. Please submit it to Articles for Creation when you believe it is finished. You can go to WT:AFC or the Teahouse if you have questions about submissions. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:19, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bill Glass Jr. (July 29)[edit]

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It doesn't appear that the topic passes WP:GNG?

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:Bill Glass Jr. 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:Bill Glass Jr., 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, 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, Claire.ringer! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.
