Your submission at Articles for creation: Thanatology Café (November 8)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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 Draft:Thanatology Café and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

November 2016[edit]

Your addition to Draft:Thanatology Café has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:45, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Tokyogirl79. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Rcs-confidential. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:46, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem with you trying again at AfC, but please be careful. Do not use copyrighted material. Not only does this violate WP:COPYVIO, but in most cases the content is written in a promotional manner and is not appropriate for Wikipedia, as was the case here. You also need to be careful about adding content and blogs to pages already on Wikipedia - not all content is considered to be appropriate for Wikipedia. The general rule of thumb is that unless the person and/or blog has received enough independent WP:RS coverage to justify inclusion in Wikipedia (preferably enough to justify their own article), then odds are it doesn't need to be added. Adding the blog links can also come across as promotional, since you hotlinked to them in the article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:48, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
