User talk:Ivymgardner

Welcome!

Hello, Ivymgardner, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft: Michael Hyter, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Your submission at Articles for creation: Michael Hyter (April 15)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of the references are affiliated with the subject or his employers. Press releases, bios from companies he's worked with and the like are not independent sources and so do not help show whether he is notable. Likewise, sources that Hyter himself has written are not helpful. Wikipedia rather needs coverage about Hyter, not by Hyter. In summary, references should be from reliable, independent (third-party) sources that discuss the subject in significant detail. The draft is also written like an advertisement for his work. Content like "proven innovator and global leader" is not written from the neutral, objective point of view that Wikipedia requires. Avoid the use of peacock terms like "renowned", "innovator" and so on. Also, the draft contains a lot of buzzwords that add no functional value to the piece: see, e.g., "leveraging a highly-valued extensive network", "Strategically integrate Inclusion & Diversity competencies" and "thought leader". Thanks,

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:Michael Hyter and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
