Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (August 6)

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

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:PPANZ/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:PPANZ/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

Hello, PPANZ! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! ToThAc (talk) 19:35, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Thanks for your edits on Progressive Party of Aotearoa New Zealand, but from your username I'm guessing you are affiliated with the party. If this is the case, I'd like to gently draw your attention to the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest guidelines. Note especially WP:COIEDIT. Basicly, you should propose changes to this article via the talk page (and disclose your conflict), rather than editing directly. And that said: if you are aware of other reliable, neutral sources for this party (i.e. not self-published, not the party itself, not an associated entity), then I would love to hear about them so we can improve the article. --IdiotSavant (talk) 00:04, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, thank you for your message and I apologise for fumbling the ball in my approach! My name is Allen Theunissen and I am a website developer in Nelson, New Zealand. I was commissioned by the Progressive Party of Aotearoa NZ to build their website. I am not a member or affiliated in any way. The party leader (Bruce Dyer) noted that "Jim Anderton's Progressive Party" dominated all popular search engine returns and he advised this was causing confusion with new users searching for this newly established party. Whilst developing SEO (which wouldn't make fundamental inroads before the elections), I offered to try and submit a new party entry to Wikipedia. The party leader (Bruce Dyer) is delighted that Wikipedia indeed researched and created the current entry, but asked if I could kindly edit two items, which I actioned earlier this morning. Having never attempted this before, I can see I caused concern in my approach and unreservedly apologise. Happy to follow correct policy and procedure going forward. My email address is allen@montagedesign.co.nz and mobile number is 0275449533 in the event you need to contact me. Thank you and kind regards, Allen.

Thanks for the reply. We have a group of editors actively interested in ensuring small parties are covered in Wikipedia, and it just took us a while to notice this one. --IdiotSavant (talk) 02:05, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, User:PPANZ/sandbox

Hello, PPANZ. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

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.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! S0091 (talk) 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
