Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (August 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 DoubleGrazing were:

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.

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 brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of 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.

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 User:AndreaDaluhay/sandbox 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, AndreaDaluhay! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:35, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DoubleGrazing,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I would like to clarify that my involvement with Daluhay is strictly in a pro bono capacity as an associate board member (visible on their website), and I am not compensated for my contributions. My intention with the edits was purely to provide well-grounded, factual information about Daluhay's work, reflecting my commitment to evidence-based contributions.

I will add the necessary disclosure on my user page to ensure full transparency. I would like to further directly edit the article by backing it with reliable, third-party sources to ensure compliance with Wikipedia’s content standards. If instead you would like me to suggest changes on the article’s talk page, please let me know.

Thank you for guiding me through this process, and I look forward to your further advice on how best to proceed.

Best regards,

Andrea AndreaDaluhay (talk) 09:47, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to edit the draft directly, despite your COI. What you're not allowed to do is publish the draft into the encyclopaedia, you need to go through the AfC review process (as indeed you are). Once it has been published (assuming), then you should no longer edit the article yourself (other than making straightforward error corrections like fixing typos), and must instead make edit requests via its talk page. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:00, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello AndreaDaluhay. 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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:AndreaDaluhay. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=AndreaDaluhay|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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
