Your submission at Articles for creation: Mercku (May 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CommanderWaterford 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 organizations and companies). 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 when they have been resolved.

May 2021

Hello Merckie514. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Merckie514. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Merckie514|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. --- Possibly (talk) 08:35, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mercku (July 10)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Doric Loon was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: This appears to be advertising. After the draft was last declined, a query was posted on User talk:Merckie514 about the author's possible financial involvement with the company being described. The query noted that Merckie514 should not continue to edit without first answering the question. No answer was given, but the user continued to edit. That in itself is grounds for rejection.

Beyond that, this draft has been resubmitted without any attempt to address the other issues mentioned by the reviewer who last declined it: notability and referencing. I am not convinced this company should have a Wikipedia article, but if it does, it should be a completely new one written from scratch by an uninvolved Wikipedian.

Doric Loon (talk) 12:16, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Doric!

I have disclosed that I am being paid to write this article now. I apologize for not doing so earlier, I remember adding the paid thing in a box somewhere when I submitted the article, but I guess I didn't complete the process properly. Can I please get permission to submit my article again? I have a few more sources at my hand (did some more research), and I'm going to make sure I include them in my next draft. I'm going to remove anything that is not sourced properly, remove my company's website as a source, and remove any biased language. This company I work for is doing really interesting work in the telecommunications industry, and they have a vision for technological innovation. There are reliable sources that can attest to this innovation. After talking to Wikipedia's many volunteers I have a better understanding of what Wikipedia stands for, and what I need to write in this article. So again, can I please submit an edited version of this article?

Thank you.

Hello! So basically, I am an intern at this company, and I'm trying to get their wiki page up and running. however, I keep getting rejected because I'm told that my article sounds like advertising. I'm very confused as to why this is happening because I made sure to make the language unbiased. I'm simply stating facts about the company, I'm not advertising anything. Writing this wiki page is not my only job as an intern here. I've disclosed that I'm being paid to write the article on my page. Can you see it? Is there anything else I need to do to make sure this article does not get rejected again?

I will note that any article about the company will not be "their wiki page", but a Wikipedia article about the company; the company does not own it and has no special rights to it. Since the draft was rejected, I'm afraid it will not be considered further. You have a (common) misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is. It is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves or otherwise just tell of the existence of the company and what it does. That is considered promotional here, you don't have to be soliciting customers or selling something. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; a Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself or what it considers to be its own history; it's interested only in what others completely unaffiliated with the company choose on their own to say about it- so press releases, announcements of routine business activities like the raising of capital or opening of locations, brief mentions, staff interviews, or other primary sources do not establish notability. Your draft was declined because it just tells of the existence of the company and what it does.

Please understand that a Wikipedia article is in no way meant to be for the benefit of the company. There may be side benefits to it, but Wikipedia is not concerned with any benefit to the company; we don't care about a subject's internet presences or enhancing search results for the subject- only in summarizing independent reliable sources. There are, in fact, good reasons why an article is not necessarily desirable for a company. It cannot lock it to the text that it might prefer, or prevent others from editing it. Any information, good or bad, can be in an article as long as it appears in an independent reliable source. Vandals can also put false information in an article, and while it will be removed, others will see it and sometimes even copy it to other websites. Please feel free to show your superiors this message. 331dot (talk) 22:00, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, your paid declaration is visible, thank you- but again, your draft will not be considered further at this time. Please feel free to make other contributions to Wikipedia as an individual. 331dot (talk) 22:03, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have successfully declared paid status. However, a reviewer Rejected the draft. If you wish to continue on this project, then contact the rejecting reviewer on that person's talk page, state that you have now declared paid, and that you intention is to start over, using only refs that are in no way connected to the company (not company website, not content derived from press releases, not content from interviews). You cannot include content you know to be true unless you can find refs to verify. Proceed only with that person's approval. David notMD (talk) 22:35, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pontosense (December 11)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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.
