Hello, I'm C.Fred. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Oyster Yachts have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 11:45, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Oyster 495

If this is the first article that you have 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.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Oyster 495, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. – 64andtim ^(talk) 10:56, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Oyster 495 (January 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Seawolf35 were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Oyster 495 and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

Hello,

Could you please share some advice and guidance on why the Draft Oyster 495 page has been rejected. I am new to creating pages but have taken the time to read many articles on how to create an article and what to include.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks James.markwell (talk) 10:34, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024

Hello James.markwell. 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 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 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:James.markwell. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=James.markwell|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. This is regarding Oyster yachts. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:44, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Oyster 495 (February 26)

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

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.

If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This still reads like an advert. Your job is not to 'sell' the boat (not on Wikipedia, at any rate...) but to merely describe it, mostly just summarising what independent secondary sources have said about it.

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 after they have been resolved.

Hello,

I believe i have now completed/declared what is required for COI editing.

If not, can you please let me know what else is required?

Thanks

Matt James.markwell (talk) 11:26, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please confirm if i can now supply an updated edit, taking on board your recent feedback? Thanks James.markwell (talk) 13:42, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DoubleGrazing sorry forgot to tag you in the above messages so not sure if you receive them if not tagged. James.markwell (talk) 15:48, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for disclosing your COI. This is the generic disclosure; if you are employed by Oyster, you should replace that with the more specific paid-editing one, see WP:PAID.

And yes, having made the disclosure you are welcome to continue editing. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @DoubleGrazing, have you had time to review the latest submission from last week? Thanks James.markwell (talk) 09:17, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, and I won't, unless and until you resubmit it. Even then it will be more likely that another reviewer will assess it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:42, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DoubleGrazing sorry, i thought i had submitted it. Will look to do it again now. James.markwell (talk) 11:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Toadette,

Thank you for reviewing the article.

To confirm, for the article to be accepted you would like to see a reliable source for the boat specification which is in the table at the bottom of the article?

Can you please also please confirm what the other paragraph you have mentioned which is not supported by a reliable source so i can resolve?

Many thanks for your help. James.markwell (talk) 08:52, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
