Your submission at Articles for creation: Jerome Foster II (March 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 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 is not suitable for Wikipedia. Please read 'What Wikipedia is not' for more information.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Wikipedia is not a personal statement for college or resume service.

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:Jerome Foster II 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:Jerome Foster II, 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.

April 2020

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 18:01, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Gildsons (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Corrrecting the nationality of major figures

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 18:28, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

There is no such nationality as a "European-American," any more than there is an "Asian-American" or "African-American" nationality. If you do this again, the block may be permanent. Acroterion (talk) 18:35, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If I'd seen these edits first it would have been permanent. Doug Weller talk 19:24, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:SunriseFun

Hello, Gildsons. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "SunriseFun".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:33, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

June 2021

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Jerome Foster II, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

COI / photo issue

Your particular focus on Jerome Foster II and Elijah Mckenzie-Jackson practically requires me to ask if you have some sort of personal connection with them? If so, you must declare this. Additionally, the photo you uploaded of Elijah appears to be a crop of a recent social media post by him. You need explicit permission to use such a photo in the article. Do you have that? --Pokelova (talk) 02:38, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I contacted him via email and he has given permission. I do not know them however I have a particular focus on the youth climate movement. Gildsons (talk) 02:42, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You need to declare your conflict of interest as required by WP:COI and you should immediately stop directly editing either article. After you have declared your conflict, you are free to suggest changes on the article's talk page. --Yamla (talk) 15:58, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am listed this connection on the talk pages of both articles. cookie monster 755 19:54, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March 2022

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! BriefEdits (talk) 23:34, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello, just querying why IP address got blocked.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. You forgot to tell us your IP address so we can't investigate your claim. You can find this using WhatIsMyIP. If you don't wish to provide this publicly, you may use WP:UTRS to provide the IP address privately. Yamla (talk) 15:56, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yamla They need to be blocked for COIs with Jerome Foster II. cookie monster 755 02:48, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, they haven't edited since they were warned. --Yamla (talk) 10:04, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
