Your submission at Articles for creation: Ross S Forgan (December 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SK2242 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 for academics). 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:

If you are connected to the subject in any way, please disclose this as you would have a conflict of interest. While you are not prohibited from writing about someone you have a CoI with, you are strongly advised against it, as it can be hard for someone with a CoI to write from a complete neutral point of view. Please also note that if you are paid to write this, you are required to disclose it on your user page. See your talk page for more info. The draft is currently written from a promotional point of view. Write from a neutral point of view. Every sentence must cite a reliable source to comply with the Wikipedia policy on verifiability. Please also find at least 3 independent reliable sources that talk about the subject in detail (not just mentions) to show notability. For examples of reliable and unreliable sources, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources.

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:Ross S Forgan 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:Ross S Forgan, 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.

December 2020

Hello Drtdbennett. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Drtdbennett. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Drtdbennett|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. SK2242 (talk) 11:30, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disclosure

Hello SK2242, I can confirm that I am not being paid or compensated, indirectly, or directly for any of the edits I have made on Wikipedia with this account. In other words, I gain absolutely nothing from the creations or edits made. The nature of the edits mostly arise from the Royal Society of Chemistry awards 2020 or the Philip Leverhulme Prize 2019. I have also received both of these awards in the past, hence my knowledge of them. Please advise further. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drtdbennett (talk • contribs) 11:38, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for confirming you are not a paid editor. You are free to continue working on the draft. SK2242 (talk) 12:32, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Draft:Ross S Forgan

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

The page Draft:Ross S Forgan has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/staff/rosfor/rossforgan.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review — Diannaa (talk) 16:58, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
