Draft article about Andy Cooke

Hi Hks25, I notice you have had your contributions to a draft article about Andy Cooke rejected four times, so far. I have reviewed your contribution on 24 November 2022 and make the following suggestions.

Citing a website operated by a person's employing organisation is considered a primary source. While such sources are useful for factual information, these sources do not indicate a person is sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia, because they are not independent of the subject.
All articles should cite secondary sources to demonstrate notability. Secondary sources include news media accounts of a person's activities. Preferably, these accounts should be published over a significant period of time and demonstrate the development of the subject.
Citing secondary sources is especially necessary for a biography of a living person and should demonstrate the person is a public figure, and not a private person who is only notable for a single event.

I also notice you have declared a Conflict of Interest in relation to Andy Cooke, but I am unclear about which "Andy" or Andrew Cooke you are referring to, as there are several people of that, or similar, names with Wikipedia articles. Given the context, I assume you are referring to Andrew James Cooke, the police constable, not Andrew Roy Cooke, the footballer. It would be helpful if you could confirm which person you mean, otherwise I shall assume you mean anyone bearing the name Andy or Andrew Cook(e) is included.

Lastly, as an editor with a declared conflict of interest, your editing options and the way you need to contribute to articles where you have a conflict of interest become more limited; please become familiar with the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. In many respects it may be better that you do not contribute to the draft article any further, although you are welcome to suggest changes on the article's talk page. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:40, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Thank you so much for this message.

I mean Andrew James Cooke, the police constable.

Can I please clarify: when you say "In many respects it may be better that you do not contribute to the draft article any further", are you essentially saying I should NOT edit further, given the conflict of interest (he is my employer)?

thankyou

Helen Hks25 (talk) 12:16, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hks25: Thanks for clarifying who you mean. As far as editing the draft article, I am advising you to exercise caution when editing, and always cite your sources. At the draft stage, editing an article directly is probably OK, as it still needs to be peer reviewed by someone else. But once an article is accepted, things become much more restrictive. If you read the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and COI editing advice, you will find you may propose changes on talk pages (by using the {{request edit}} template), or by posting a note at the COI noticeboard, so that your edit proposals can be peer reviewed, first. These conflict of interest protocols are in place as much for your protection and integrity as they are for Wikipedia's.

To understand what can happen if you edit an article inappropriately, especially when you have a conflict of interest, consider this news story, and also these news articles [1], [2], [3], [4],[5], about New Zealand MP Harete Hipango who tasked a employee to make §Wikipedia edits anonymously to sanitize her biography of "controversial material". This was quickly identified as a conflict of interest. Besides being a major embarrassment for the MP, the whole New Zealand parliamentary service was promptly blocked from anonymously editing Wikipedia!

Also, the problem that you have been having with getting the draft article reviewed and accepted as an article, up to now, has been because the sources you have been citing are very closely related to the Chief Inspector. If you want any information about Andy Cooke included in his Wikipedia biography, then it needs to be published somewhere else, first. Ideally, this should be by an independent author, but academic papers in peer reviewed journals, press releases, news stories, and website publications are usually acceptable, too. Content that is included in Wikipedia articles needs to be verifiable and should be accompanied by an inline citation, so other editors can see where the information came from. On the draft article's talk page I have started a list of sources. You are welcome to add to the list if you know of any news stories or publications related to the Chief Inspector, either now or historically. Think of this as a sort of news clipping space, where prospective sources can be collected and sorted through before deciding which ones are best to use. Making edits to an article's talk page are not normally considered conflict of interest editing.

Lastly, please also remember that every edit you make to Wikipedia is publicly available to anyone who can access the internet and once you disclose personal information about yourself, or anybody else, it is very hard to take it back. I hope this advice assists you with contributing to Wikipedia, and that you enjoy the experience, even though it might seem to be frustrating process at times. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:52, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
