Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 24)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:JoshComicGuy21/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Questions regarding the draft in your sandbox

Hi Josh, I understand you have some questions regarding your draft in your sandbox. This is your user talk page where you can discuss articles and things related to the project. When answering on your talk page, you can reply and make sure to notify me by typing {{ping|MicrobiologyMarcus}} and signing your comment with ~~~~. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 20:53, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved your sandbox draft to the draftspace where it can be found at Draft:Josh Goldstein. I've also edited the draft so that it conforms to standard WP:Manual of Style guidelines using regular Wikitext The next thing your draft requires will be inline citations. Consider reviewing WP:REFB for more help.

You will also need to leave a conflict of interest disclosure on your user page so as to conform to our conflict of interest rules which can be found at WP:COI. This can be done using the {{User COI}} template, on your user page. Simply copy {{User COI|Josh Goldstein}} to the new page to declare.

Happy editing, microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 21:07, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself, at Draft:Josh_Goldstein. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Hey Qcne. I mean George could you back off. I'm sure Howard wouldn't want you to do this. JoshComicGuy21 (talk) 21:23, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, JoshComicGuy21. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:10, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Josh Goldstein

Hello, JoshComicGuy21. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Josh Goldstein".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:32, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
