Hello, DPMGregg. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, clients, 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 Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
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. Thank you. 174.21.19.94 (talk) 01:12, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is mandatory that you either declare your paid of COI connection to Steve Gregg on your User page or else declare here on your Talk page that you are neither paid nor have any personal connection to Gregg's ministry. Failure to do so will result in you being indefinitely blocked as an undeclared paid editor. David notMD (talk) 10:01, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The extensive cuts I made were attempts to bring this closer to Wikipedia acceptability, but in my opinion is if resubmitted it will be declined again. The fatal flaw is that so much of the content is referenced to Gregg's own website and social media. David notMD (talk) 10:48, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your advice. I do see the problems that you are pointing out, very clearly. I did declare my connection on some Wiki form, somewhere, when I first started the process. I am not paid, but am definitely connected. The real problem is finding that totally disconnected person or organization to do this. I have contacted the seminary where he has taught, and asked if they have a biography of him anywhere, but they would've gotten that info from him, anyway. The publisher, Thomas Nelson/ Harper Collins, apparently would not count, as they are his publisher. The radio stations would get their information from him also, and have nothing published that I know of ... so I don't know where to look. The magazines for which he has written, again, same issue. Random websites have info, but they are often very inaccurate at times (sometimes conflating him with a pastor in Florida, which he is not), hence the desire to create a Wiki page (more legit). When there is no salary or contracts, there is no documentation, so it becomes as proving a universal negative. Anyway, I sure appreciate you trying to help. I am asking around, but I guess I am stuck. DPMGregg (talk) 17:15, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Hey man im josh (talk) 12:57, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Josh, I don't want to give up trying to get a wiki page for this particular teacher/ author/ radio broadcaster, but I am struggling to find acceptable sources (apart from the person, family, their publisher, etc) all of whom are too close (apparently) to the subject. BUT, someone recently sent me a link to an AI compilation about the subject that is quite accurate (except AI added a book title that was NOT the author's, but everything else in the article was correct and rather well written, however very brief. 1. Is Wiki considering accepting AI articles as acceptable, as it is certainly likely neutral. 2. What sources does one try to find since published articles, books, and webpages by the subject are not accepable? DPMGregg (talk) 18:35, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
