Hello SteveForWiki. The nature of your edits 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 very 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 extremely 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:SteveForWiki. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=SteveForWiki|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. PRAXIDICAE💕 19:46, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am in no way, directly or indirectly, being compensated in any way for any edits or other work I do on Wikipedia, or for that matter any other website or publication.

By the way, my employer is a small software company. My only compensation is the work I do for them. SteveForWiki (talk) 19:53, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is your connection to Lisa R Young? PRAXIDICAE💕 19:56, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Young is someone I know. SteveForWiki (talk) 20:01, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In which case you still need to comply with WP:COI. PRAXIDICAE💕 20:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lisa R Young moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Lisa R Young, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

AfC notification: Draft:Lisa R Young has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Lisa R Young. Thanks! Twinkle1990 (talk) 10:40, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your helpful comments. And you made one edit as an example, which was especially helpful.

I removed what I believe are the undesirable external links. I left "main" external links in the the Academic papers and Media work sections. I think those are appropriate, but I am not certain. If they should be converted into references / footnotes, tell me. I removed footnotes to the publications themselves from the Selected publications section.
