Welcome!

Hello, Jameswhunt, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

This is a bit belated and refers more to paid editing, but the conflict of interest guidelines also extend to cases where you may be editing about a friend or family member, or were asked to create a page as a favor. (IE, a friend of a friend.) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 15:03, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jameswhunt. You used the {{Help me}} template, but you wanted an answer from a specific editor. If you still need help, please add your question to that editor's talk page instead, or reply to them here using the {{Reply to}} template. Alternatively, you can ask your question at the Teahouse, the help desk, or join Wikipedia's Live Help IRC channel to get real-time assistance.

Hi Tokyogirl79, I hope I'm doing this correctly! Thank you for the response. I appreciate your feedback. So in the future I should save my writings to draft and then ask an admin to review? What do I do in this particular case, as I believe the article fits the guidelines for Wikipedia articles? Also I did not receive notification that my article was deleted. Is there a section in my profile where I can have notifications enabled for issues like this? Jameswhunt (talk) 15:25, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging Tokyogirl79. Primefac (talk) 21:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jameswhunt - if you want to make changes to an article that is already live, you can make suggestions on the article's talk page and then ask for someone to come in to take a look at the changes - it doesn't have to be an admin. Now when it comes to creating new pages, I'd recommend using WP:AfC, the articles for creation process. This gives you the chance to work on an article and submit it for consideration. If it's declined you would be able to make any needed changes. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:44, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Martin H. Hiller (May 2)

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

Not satisfying the applied notability standards and what we would specifically need is a better focus in only the best major independent news, not simply announcements or notices.

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:Martin H. Hiller 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.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your draft article, Draft:Martin H. Hiller

Hello, Jameswhunt. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Martin H. Hiller".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. TKK! bark with me! 01:06, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
