Your submission at Articles for creation: Christian Leaders Fellowship (February 6)

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

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.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is essentially advocacy for he organization

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Christian Leaders Fellowship (February 11)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This still looks like a copy of their website and has strong promotional context. Needs external news sources showing the notability for the organization, and should be restructured.

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:Christian Leaders Fellowship and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Ock Soo Park

Hello Foolishservant, thank you for your message on my user talk page.

When you said "I will assume responsibilities for the changes to the page for Ock Soo Park", it sounds as if you are under the impression that Wikipedia articles have people who have some kind of main responsibility for updating them. That is not the case – almost all articles are open for editing by almost anybody and no editor owns an article.

However, the "anybody can edit" principle does come with a responsibility: nobody may edit in a way that goes against Wikipedia's policies. PhilemonYoo's edits were almost entirely unacceptable as they were written from the point of view of Yoo's organisation, with a lot of promotional content and unsourced details. Please note that Wikipedia is, in general, not concerned with what a person says about themselves, only what other people who are unconnected with them has published about them – and those are the publications that should be used to support the information in Wikipedia.

If PhilemonYoo had taken the time to read the information posted to their user talk page, they would have seen that as a volunteer within Park's organisation who edited Wikipedia as part of their volunteer duties, they fall squarely within what is defined as a paid editor. Unfortunately they never made any effort to make the mandatory disclosure which means that they violated an important Wikipedia policy. There are other policies connected with having a conflict of interest, and I will post some pointers about that below. Please read those, and follow the instructions (especially as concerns not editing the article directly but only posting edit requests to the article's talk page). Note that the blue links lead to important information pages. If you are editing Wikipedia in order to spread the fame of a person, you do have a conflict of interest and are expected to edit within those guidelines.

I hope this makes sense. Your efforts to work within Wikipedia's policies is appreciated. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 08:01, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another point I forgot to address: you said "We are by no means professional editors and would appreciate your guidance." Nobody is a professional editor here. We are all volunteers, doing this in our free time as and when we feel like doing so. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 08:03, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Foolishservant. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Ock Soo Park, 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. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 08:01, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
