Speedy deletion nomination of List of board game crowdfunding projects

Hello Jon.opus,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged List of board game crowdfunding projects for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Josu4u (talk) 23:06, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of Interest? Paid Editing

I noticed the pattern of your edits for a variety of companies, but few topical edits. Please read the following carefully if it pertains to you:

Hello, Jon.opus. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Last but not least: All contributors must not contribute content that violates conflict of interest laws (just as all contributors must respect copyright). The Unfair Commercial Practices Directive is valid throughout the European Union. In a German court decision in 2012 (that also relied on the directive) regarding Wikipedia: "The court held that when a company edits a Wikipedia article, the resulting text falsely creates the impression that the edit has no business-related purpose. By implication, the judges found that the average reader of Wikipedia articles expects to find objective and neutral information." That is a very very important condition, comparable to the FTC Guide" that consumers are likely to believe reflects the opinions, beliefs, findings, or experience of a party other than the sponsoring advertiser”. This expectation by consumers of neutral information on Wikipedia, requires that companies not write "their" WP articles for PR/marketing purposes.

Editors who are compensated for their contributions should make the disclosure by placing the {{connected contributor (paid)}} template at the top of the talk page of affected articles and filling in the parameters. They should also supply this information as part of a list on their user page of all their paid contributions.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for October 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sanger, California, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page High Sierra. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hume Lake Christian Camps (January 8)

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

This article has been deleted once after a [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hume Lake Christian Camps

|discussion]] because of a lack of notability. The current references haven't resolved this.

Phillips, Bob founded the camp, his book is a primary source. The official website www.humelake.org is also a primary source Articles on the first are from reliable sources but they about the fire, not the camp. This isn't the kind of in-depth coverage Wikipedia insists on to establish notability. Brief, directory mentions in the Moon guide, California parks website, Christian Camping Today, ECFA, dont demonstrate notability, inclusion is based on existence, not notability The Live Design website is a promotional description of microphones used there. The Prairie People book mentioned the camp only in passing The local Reedly Exponent article about the founder's birthday is focused on the founder The Disability Advocacy book mentions the camp only briefly and a very large list of other camps.

The Seattle PI blog is a reliable source, but again this is a very short very run-of-the-mill coverage, again not in-depth.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hume Lake Christian Camps (January 26)

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

There haven't been significant reliable sources added since the draft was last declined. No fewer than 10 editors agreed that this subject does not meet notability guidelines in a previous deletion discussion. The references here focus on primary sources, run-of-the-mill local news coverage, and passing mentions of the subject, not nearly the kind of significant coverage which focuses on the subject in reliable sources that will be required to overcome previous deletion of this article.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hume Lake Christian Camps (February 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 Chrisw80 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability.

If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment they left was:

I feel bad declining this, but I have to agree with the previous reviewers. Almost all the reliable source coverage is really about the fire, and the rest of the reliable source coverage isn't actually about the camp but the founder, other entities, or the fire. The CPA Advisor source actually looks like a press release for Blackbaud and it seems to link to another press release inside it (I didn't look). Despite all the various sources (many unreliable), it just doesn't appear to meet notability guidelines. I suggest finding more news coverage that covers the camp directly and sourcing that instead of the over-linking for some of the sections. You shouldn't need to have 4-7 citations for a paragraph, that's truly a red flag.
