User talk:Querar

Welcome!

Hello, Querar, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Hello AntiDionysius

thanks a lot for your welcome and for helping. I didn’t think I had edited any article yet outside of the draft I’m working on in my sandbox.

Did I do anything wrong while starting my draft ?

I had in mind to send the draft for review before publishing anything.

Also, I’m the only person using my account and I’m an individual person indeed. Not sure also if my user account or name is a challenge here.

thanks a lot for your help !

Your submission at Articles for creation: O'Hanlon Center for the Arts (September 2)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The cited source "O'Hanlon Center for the Arts" (Marin Arts) is in the first person plural ("We have a lot to offer– please stop by!").

The cited source "O'Hanlon Center For The Arts" (The Vendry) too is in the first person plural ("As we honor the cultural legacy of Ann and Dick O’Hanlon, we also strive to give back in new and innovative ways to the artists, art lovers, writers, and performers who inspire and support us").

What's currently the last reference, this at enjoymillvalley.com, fails to point to any actual web page. Instead it points to what seems to be a mere list of pages that are in some way about the Center.

Where are the solid references -- reliable, disinterested, informative -- about the Center?

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 Draft:O'Hanlon Center for the Arts 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.
