Your submission at Articles for creation: Mary Jane Ansell (March 12)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mary Jane Ansell (March 19)

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I quote the second half of this: Ansell's work is heavily influenced by the old masters such as, Botticelli, Rachel Ruysch, and Bosschaert. The intentionally dynamic compositions and details of her paintings pull the viewer in for closer inspection and contemplation. Many of the models she uses are recurring subjects. Their slight changes in expression, lighting, and posture give Ansell a new set of challenges to work on for each piece. Backgrounds of her portraits allow her to channel her love of historical painting as well as give her the opportunity to insert symbolism. With her subtle, but dramatic paintings Ansell's recurring models become characters threaded with a narrative that tackles the complexities of current events and issues of gender. Ansell currently exhibits her work internationally. Each part of this: According to which disinterested, reliable, published source? (No, neither Ansell herself nor any person or organization with a financial or other stake in her success.)

Hi Hoary,

It looks like I used the wrong source for that section, my apologies. The source for the second section is an article written about Mary Jane Ansell in American Art Collector magazine. I will make the appropriate changes and resubmit it for review. The url associated with the article is linked to Arcadia's website, but it is only to provide the pdf to read. International Art Collector magazine is in independent media company. Does that still make it an unreliable source?

Your submission at Articles for creation: Daniel Bilmes (March 19)

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

If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The draft must demonstrate that Bilmes satisfies either WP:ARTIST or, more generally, WP:PERSON. I quote this draft: As an artist, Bilmes believes it his and his fellow creatives' responsibility to create work that leaves a lasting impression on its audience by making them see or feel something they wouldn't have otherwise experienced without the context of the work. Concepts about the complexity of reality and personal perception play a large part in the construction of his paintings as well. Bilmes' work continues to grow in intricacy. By creating personal work he develops an attachment to each piece that allows him to push it to its limit, ultimately making a visually compelling work. Bilmes is currently represent by Arcadia Contemporary in New York City. And the only reference provided for any of this is Arcadia Contemporary. As Arcadia Contemporary would profit from sales of his work, it's not disinterested and therefore not a reliable source. Where is the independent commentary from newspapers, magazines, art journals, books, etc?

As for the sources for Daniel Bilmes, the sources provided are linked to the Arcadia website but it is only to provide the digital pdfs of the articles. American Art Collector is independent of Arcadia. American Art Collector is a subscription based magazine so people would not be able to see the articles otherwise. Should I manually put in the source without providing a link to the article? Rob at Arcadia Contemporary (talk) 16:49, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Arcadia Contemporary, and COI

Rob, I take your word for it (in your username) that you are at Arcadia Contemporary. You have written a draft about Daniel Bilmes. The draft says that "Bilmes is currently represent by Arcadia Contemporary in New York City." You've also written a draft about Mary Jane Ansell. This page tells me that Arcadia sells her work too. Please carefully read Wikipedia's Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, particularly the material in it that's about remuneration. -- Hoary (talk) 08:36, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hoary, I understand your concern for the fact that I am associated with Arcadia. I will gladly remove "Bilmes is currently represented by Arcadia Contemporary in New York City" from his draft as well as any mention of Arcadia on Mary Jane's page. These pages are made only to provide biographical information on the clearly well established artists that we work with. Rob at Arcadia Contemporary (talk) 16:59, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That would be a good first step, but only a first step. I don't know what you're doing "at" Arcadia Contemporary, but whether you're salaried or an intern, it's clear from what's written in Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure that you're regarded as making paid contributions, and that you must disclose this. I'll attend to your questions after you have disclosed this. (The method of doing this is described in Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.) -- Hoary (talk) 21:45, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If I can also add Draft:Nick Alm to this list. Per the Arcadia Contemporary website, Nick Alm is one of the artists represented. This creates an apparent COI (as well as a possible UPE) which needs to be declared either on your own user page and/or each article's talk page. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:42, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
