Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Amelialife. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Graham Cotter, 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:43, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Charis Cotter[edit]

The article Charis Cotter has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hi there! I'm a novice wikipedia editor and understand the need for references. I was just trying to start my draft today-- then later add my sources. I will begin adding sources ASAP so the article doesn't get deleted-- but it will take me some time to finish the draft completely and fully cite this article. Amelialife (talk) 16:15, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please don't draft in the article space, there you're subject to all the rules regarding referencing, notability, etc., and if your draft falls short on any of those, it is liable to be deleted. Draft instead in your sandbox, or preferably in the draft space. To that end, I've just moved this into drafts for you.-- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:59, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much! I understand and will be sure to use the draft space in future. Amelialife (talk) 17:02, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Graham Cotter (November 1)[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 Theroadislong 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 people). 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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Graham Cotter 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.

Theroadislong (talk) 08:01, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Theroadislong! I respect your decision but have a question. Many of the sources I used were from an archival source (Pro Quest historical newspapers). There sources are from major newspapers (The Toronto Star and The Globe and Mail). Were these references considered invalid because of being from archives? Other than that I'm confused as to why they don't qualify as those newspapers are the largest in Canada and independent of the subject. Thanks. Amelialife (talk) 15:40, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Amelialife! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Conflict of interest[edit]

Hello,

I came here to ask if you have some sort of external relationship with Draft:Charis Cotter and/or Draft:Graham Cotter, but I saw that I already asked that back in May. You haven't responded, though; could you please do so now. Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:21, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Sorry this is my first venture into Wikipedia and I am still getting used to the platform (somehow I missed your previous message).

No, I do not have a personal connection other than I am a big fan of Charis Cotter's work. I discovered her father's novels as they were published under her publishing company, and that led me to take an interest in his life and work. Amelialife (talk) 18:03, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, understood. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 20:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Graham Cotter (January 22)[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 Spinster300 was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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:Graham Cotter 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.
