Your submission at Articles for creation: Bird Conservancy of the Rockies (March 9)[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 adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

We need in depth coverage in sources not connected with them.

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:Bird Conservancy of the Rockies and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Bcrcomms. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Draft:Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

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

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 21:07, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with...

Hello. Our organization has changed names (now Bird Conservancy of the Rockies) and is currently listed under the old name "Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory".

Should the original entry/article stay and I create a new article?

Or should I edit the original (now incorrect) article to reflect the new organization name?

Thank you!

~William

Done I have already moved the article to the new name. Theroadislong (talk) 22:00, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You should also think about a change of username for yourself. This username could be seen as a role account used for communications of the Bird Conservancy as an organization, and that's not permitted on Wikipedia. You can use Special:GlobalRenameRequest to request a change of username. If you want your username to be associated with the organization, something like "John at BCR" would be acceptable - but the username must indicate that the account is only used by one person, nobody else.
