Your submission at Articles for creation: Wayne Ayers (September 21)[edit]

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

See WP:COI.

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:Wayne Ayers 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.

September 2022[edit]

Hello MarcusMoore360. 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:MarcusMoore360. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MarcusMoore360|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. 331dot (talk) 08:59, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not being paid to create this article. MarcusMoore360 (talk) 09:02, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any paid relationship with the topic, even if you are not being specifically paid to edit? 331dot (talk) 09:05, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a paid relationship with this topic. MarcusMoore360 (talk) 09:07, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. 331dot (talk) 09:12, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any unpaid relationship with the topic? If yes, declare that on your User page. David notMD (talk) 12:49, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know anything about Wayne, nor Black media. My edits have only been attempts to dring the draft in compliance with Wikipedia style and general copyediting. My own opinion is that ths is WP:TOOSOON. Good luck. David notMD (talk) 12:52, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Links to draft articles[edit]

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Bremerton High School. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 09:45, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Star,

I see many people wikipedia pages with less reliable sources then Kiki. She has two news stations, a college, Ted X, and local news papers for her sources. What exactly does she need to be approved because i'm confused right now. MarcusMoore360 (talk) 19:39, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey There,

I see many people wikipedia pages with less reliable sources then Kiki. She has two news stations, a college, Ted X, and local news papers for her sources. What exactly does she need to be approved because i'm confused right now. MarcusMoore360 (talk) 19:40, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia doesn't have "pages", it has articles. This is a subtle but important distinction. Please read other stuff exists. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to get by us- in numerous ways. It isn't required to use the draft approval process(though it's a good idea) and it has not existed the entire time Wikipedia has existed. That there are articles with "less reliable sources" is not a reason to add more. If you want to use other articles as a guide or example, use those classified as good articles, as those have been thorougly vetted by the community.

We volunteers can only address the problematic articles that we know about. If you want to help us out, you may help us identify other problematic articles for possible action. 331dot (talk) 19:48, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your draft itself, the sources you offer are all interviews with Ayers. You need sources to summarize that are not interviews with Ayers or announcements of her routine activites. We don't want to know what she says about herself, we want to know what others say about her. Admittedly, writing about journalists isn't always easy, as journalists don't often write about each other- but that doesn't change Wikipedia requirements. 331dot (talk) 19:57, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You say you are not paid above, but you did not answer as to if you have an unpaid relationship with the topics you are editing about. 331dot (talk) 20:09, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not recieving any type of payment. Just want to know how to get the article approved. MarcusMoore360 (talk) 21:07, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I understand you are not paid, do you have a unpaid relationship with Kiki Ayers? If not, how did you come to write about her? You seem very invested in this to have picked her at random. Please see my comments above- you need independent reliable sources that chose on their own to write about her with significant coverage, and are not a primary source like an interview with her. Do you have anything like that? 331dot (talk) 21:34, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I saw your Ted X and felt inspired but I don't know her at all. MarcusMoore360 (talk) 21:37, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what "Ted X" means. Are you declining to answer my other questions? You certainly don't have to, but the more you tell us, the more we can help. 331dot (talk) 21:46, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
After a quick Google News search there seems to be sufficient secondary sources to write an article, in particular this one from Forbes. If you summarise more of the information in these secondary sources and cite them, keep at it and soon enough the article may eligible be published to main namespace Also FYI @331dot - TEDx - Yours Faithfully, GA Melbourne ( T | C ) 02:08, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

October 2022[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:32, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Spam[edit]

Do not spam low quality sources across multiple articles. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 03:44, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

November 2022[edit]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Bella Poarch. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Sebbirrrr (talk) 12:28, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
