User talk:Scurvy G

January 2019

Hello, I'm FlightTime. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Slash (musician), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! - FlightTime (open channel) 21:21, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That was a username block, so they were free to create a new account. Scurvy G, your behavior isn't ideal though. Please see below. — JJMC89 (T·C) 21:29, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Scurvy G. 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 conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 21:29, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Submitting drafts

Hello Scurvy, I've come across a few of your old drafts that it turns out weren't actually submitted for review. For example at Draft:GDPC, it still includes the text {{subst:submit}}, meaning that the submission was unsuccessful. You need to click the button "Edit source" instead of "Edit" (that is to say, you can't use the VisualEditor) and then you can add the text {{subst:submit}}, when you save it will turn into a yellow box saying "Your article is pending review". – Thjarkur (talk) 19:53, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: GDPC music hall of fame (September 28)

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

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:GDPC music hall of fame 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 Draft:GDPC music hall of fame, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
