Conflict of interest editing

Hello, NDSS. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article National Down Syndrome Society, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 00:58, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: The ABLE Act (November 1)

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

The subject seems notable on the face of it, but the draft has substantial formatting issues, and probably needs quite a few more sources to verify its content.

Instead of adding referenced in the reference section, add them in the prose of the draft along with the content they support. They will then be automatically populate at the bottom of the article.

Also the references in the "State ABLE Implementation" section need reworking. First they should be formatting as references and not external links, since WP:MOS forbids external links in the body of an article. Second, the references should link directly to the page that supports the content, and not the homepage of the website.

Third, content like "for more information go to..." is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article. This should be added as a reference or a footnote (see Template:Notelist for further guidance).

Finally, the latter two sections are completely unreferenced, and sources will need to be provided for where the content came from.

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:The ABLE Act 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.
