Hi Hoary,

Thank you for your time and consideration here. Our goal is to provide accurate information for prominent Architects in Northeast US, starting with Charles Hilton. Our page appears to be "better" (less biases, more informative) than other Architect's pages we've used as reference. Can you please advise any additional changes we'd need to make here?

Thanks,

Your submission at Articles for creation: Charles Frederick Hilton III (November 18)[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 Greenman was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Help[edit]

Hi there ZI Jony / GenQust! Our goal is to contribute encyclopedic-level resources for renowned Architects throughout the Northeast United States. We're starting off with Charles Hilton - we've leveraged Wikipedia's "best-practices" documentation and referenced existing Architect's wikipedia pages to ensure ours is equal if not better in its tone. Please advise us on the best way to proceed with publishing this article, as we intend to contribute many more! --Wanderingwicks (talk) 14:39, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Charles Frederick Hilton III[edit]

Hello, Wanderingwicks. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Charles Frederick Hilton III, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.

Mandatory paid editing disclosure[edit]

Hello Wanderingwicks. 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:Wanderingwicks. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Wanderingwicks|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. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:23, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also please answer: who is this "we" you refer to above? Is this account being used by more than one person? ~Anachronist (talk) 19:26, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Charles Frederick Hilton III[edit]

Hello, Wanderingwicks. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Charles Frederick Hilton III".

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Boost Oxygen (July 10)[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 BuySomeApples 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:Boost Oxygen 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.
