Your submission at Articles for creation: Michael Blatter (May 23)

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

This draft appears to be written to praise its subject rather than describe him neutrally. Statements like "He showed his affinity for entrepreneurship" should not be in the voice of Wikipedia. If a journalist says this, quote them. Fix reference errors.

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:Michael Blatter 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Michael Blatter (July 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 Chris troutman was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It's going to take more than eternal patience. This is an obvious puff piece. Most of the citations don't mention the subject, at all.

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.

I am incredibly hurt and confused. I am a student and new editor, working on several articles about the advent of social currency and experiential marketing for school. Why are you attacking me personally? I thought wikipedia was supposed to be a supportive community and you are insulting my username of all things? What a mean and low thing to do to someone who is trying to learn how to become a contributor to the cause. Do we only record people who are rich and famous then? Or are people who have contributed to a subject in a meaningful way allowed to be written about? Help me, don't insult me. Eternalpatience (talk) 15:59, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Declare any connection

Hello, Eternalpatience. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Draft:Michael Blatter, 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 which forms all or part of work 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. Interning for a person or company you're writing about would present a conflict of interest, and probably would be considered paid editing whether it's a paid internship or not, as an intern receives compensation in forms other than money. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:04, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
