Your submission at Articles for creation: Artadia (July 25)

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

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

A list of peoplel whp have ben given grants is not encyclopedic content.

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.

Ways to improve Sheri L. Pasquarella

Hello, Drewzeiba,

Thank you for creating Sheri L. Pasquarella.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

This is a well researched page, please check on some of your references (such as amazon.com) and make sure they are appropriate for WP. This page would also benefit from some categories and other pages that link to it. Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia. Nightenbelle (talk) 20:46, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Nightenbelle}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Thank you Nightenbelle! I have gone in and used the books themselves as references fully cited and have begun linking pages to this one, as well as adding categories. {{Re|Nightenbelle}}~~~~

Conflict of interest

I am just curious to know if you have any conflict of interest you may have with the articles you have been editing? I would characterize some of them as promotional. Please read the COI link above and let us know.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:16, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm mostly editing info on arts nonprofits, women artists, and women and LGBT people in the arts (editors, curators, etc.) I have familiarity with via work as an art journalist. If they read as too promo-y I'm happy to rein in where that need be. Most pages are people who have been written about pretty widely in the art press and also in mainstream media. I've edited some existing artist's pages just to expand exhibition or grants lists and to create more linkbacks. (Drewzeiba (talk) 22:28, 27 May 2020 (UTC))[reply]

Ok thanks. I will give you another chance to answer my question directly. Are you employed by any of your article subjects, have worked for them or know them? Please be clear in your answer.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:35, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Some I know personally or have worked for before on a freelance basis. Some I don't know or are deceased. The articles are all fully sourced, including profiles in media but if language needs to be tweaked I can do that if you can indicate what is problematic. (Drewzeiba (talk) 22:38, 27 May 2020 (UTC))[reply]

The issue here is Conflict of interest, and it appears you have one. We also do not allow surreptitious paid editing per WP:PAID. That includes writing articles about people who also happen to be your employer. Please state which articles you have a conflict with, and which ones may have been done under a paid editing situation. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:43, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not trying to do anything surreptitious perhaps there is a misunderstanding. Sheri Pasquarella is an occasional employer. I was paid to work on the Artadia article. Gloria Kisch is a deceased artist who was shown relatively widely during her lifetime whose press archives I had access to. Not sure if I'm forgetting anything. Let me know an appropriate way to reconcile this. (Drewzeiba (talk) 22:46, 27 May 2020 (UTC))[reply]

thanks for letting me know. We will have a discussion at the conflict of interest noticeboard.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:48, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How do you want me to reconcile this? Is there somewhere to disclose it such that it can be fairly noted? (Drewzeiba (talk) 22:57, 27 May 2020 (UTC))[reply]

it's a user community, and unfortunately you have violated some of the rules that keep the wiki neutral. You can explain things at the link below. I have to warn you that paid editing without disclosure is one of the worst things you can do here, and admins often block users on sight for that. If you have previously disclosed your paid work on Artadia, do point that out with a link in the discussion below. Ultimately these COI and PAID policies are all about maintaining neutrality.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:01, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Sheri L. Pasquarella

If this was the first article that you 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.

The page Sheri L. Pasquarella has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
