Mirrors[edit]

Thanks for contributing to the article Draft:Serco Institute. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

Hi Kuru, thank you so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it! Would you be able to give me some examples of things I need to amend? Most of my citations are external, so I'm not 100% sure where I've copied material from Wikipedia. Many thanks, Constance. Constance52 (talk) 08:48, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sam, I've just reviewed your edits on the page itself - sorry didn't realise those had been made. Thanks for your feedback re circular referencing, I have added some new references so please do let me know if those are okay. Thanks, Constance.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Serco Institute (January 7)[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 Star Mississippi 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 brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of 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.

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:Serco Institute and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It may sound odd, but you have too many references. Fewer high quality references are preferable to a large number of low quality references. An article should not just document the activities of the company, it should summarize significant coverage of the company that details how it meets WP:ORG.

Paid editing[edit]

Hello Constance52. 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:Constance52. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Constance52|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. Theroadislong (talk) 11:32, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not being paid for this. C Constance52 (talk) 12:35, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Serco Institute[edit]

Hello, Constance52. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Serco Institute".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗plicit 14:12, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
