Hello, APMEwikiUser!
Having an article draft 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!

Hello APMEwikiUser. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Advanced Polymers via Macromolecular Engineering, 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 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 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:APMEwikiUser. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=APMEwikiUser|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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:31, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- oeps, I replied somewhere else, thus I am copying my reply here:
- Hi!
- I don't know if I should reply here. APME is a conference series with no lucrative purpose it is organized by scientists for scientists. I have no financial interest in it, I am a research scientist with no link with the researchers who had the idea to create this conference. One of the professor who started this conference recently passed away (he has a Wiki page in Turkish - cited in this article) and we thought it would be nice to have a wiki page about this conference series he initiated.
- Citation are all found on the web when I started checking about previous editions. years after years it gathered more and more scientists from all around the world to discuss scientific results in the area of polymer science.
- I will revise the part that might sound like I want to make profit and will see if I can add reference, after your green light.
- Thanks anyway for the quick feedback.
- Best regards

- By the way, when I started, I followed this example:
- International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists APMEwikiUser (talk) 08:58, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for responding so quickly.
- If you are in any way affiliated with this organisation, even if you're not being paid, you almost certainly have a conflict of interest, which needs to be disclosed. I will post a separate message below about general COI, in case that is more applicable to your situation than the specific paid-editing COI.
- If you are not affiliated, then you have chosen a rather misleading username, because it very much does suggest a connection of some sort.
- As for the main reason why I declined this draft, we need to see evidence of notability, which means citing multiple sources that meet the WP:GNG standard, meaning that they are independent and reliable secondary sources which have covered APME entirely of their own volition (ie. not sponsored content, press release regurgitations, etc.).
- HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:11, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- There is no real organization behind APME, it is not a company, it has no status, it is just a series of conferences/congresses (14th Advanced Polymers via Macromolecular Engineering Conference (APME23) - IUPAC | International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) Every two years, this congress is organized by professors form different universities (without any financial interest), just to meet up and present recent achievements in the area of polymer science (chemistry) and no one can even be affiliated to APME since it is only a congress (I also never organized one myself). I am sorry if the username I choose was meaning I am affiliated to a APME organization, I only choose it randomly when I created an account to create the page. I thought it is better to not show my IP address and my aim was only to not give my name for privacy reason.
- I think you can see my email address in my profile (I don't want to write it here as it might be public) but you will see with that email that I am affiliated to a European University.
- The reference I indicated were all found on the web or books, these are for example: Published books containing the abstracts of the talks that have been presented at the conference, published articles in scientific journals, the official announcement of a conference on the organizing University website, the reports of the conference published on the IUPAC webpage. An article on the website of the Royal society of Chemistry (UK). I did not want to use reference to the websites of people who received awards at those conferences to stay independent, but I will try to find new references if needed. The description of the conference is also given on the IUPAC page. All those references are quite independent I thought, coming from different sources.
- I can rephrase some parts if that can help highlighting there is no financial interest in these congresses. Again, I followed the example of this conference: International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists. It is the same kind of conference except that APME is for polymer chemists and physicists while the one cited above is for engineers.
- I hope that clarifies better.

- Hi!
- I requested to modify my username to avoid any problem in the future. I also found and added two articles published in different scientific journals referring to this conference series.
- I also removed part of the text where it could sound I am not neutral in that matter (I was sending an email to one of the first chairmen to gather more information about these conferences and reproduced somehow his enthusiasm - should be more neutral now).
- Can you let me know if I can click on submit again or if I should wait for your approval?
- Thank you in advance for your help,

- Dear Tagishsimon,
- I am a bit puzzled here because I can find plenty of references to this conference on the web from researcher from different countries, however, these are for example abstracts of what was orally presented and saved in repositories (Deeper Insight Into the RDRP Polymerization of Vinylidene Fluoride - Archive ouverte HAL; reposiTUm: The power of chain transfer in the field of photopolymer applications (tuwien.at); ScholarWorks: Empowering Inert Polyethers with Functional Epoxides: Synthesis and Biological Applications (unist.ac.kr)), or the presentation itself (PowerPoint-presentatie (h2020robox.eu), or the poster (ORBi UMONS: Detailled Reference) but I cannot cite them I think.
- Many of those references can be found back in google scholar ("advanced polymers via macromolecular engineering" - Google Scholar). There are also websites, CVs of participants where they indicate their participation and what they presented (singhacv.pdf (nith.ac.in)), press release, research group website Invited and Plenary Lectures by Prof. Nozaki | The Nozaki Group | The University of Tokyo (u-tokyo.ac.jp)), , website of some companies that sponsored the conference, books of abstracts etc.
- It is a topic that is of interest for students and researchers, and one of the largest conference in that topic (Polymer science), any polymer chemist knows this conference, however, I am a bit struggling to find citable references knowing I cannot cite all the links above.
- Anyway, thanks for the feedback, I will try to contact previous organisers of this series of conference and see if they could provide some other references.
