November 2022[edit]

Hello Carma AlYounes. 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:Carma AlYounes. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Carma AlYounes|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. 331dot (talk) 09:05, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you so much for your reply. I am not being compensated for this edit/draft/submission. Carma AlYounes (talk) 09:09, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, do you have any association with the orchestra at all? 331dot (talk) 09:13, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for your help. I am not directly associated with the orchestra, I am currently assisting in managing the social media aspect and I have proactively created this page to have more presence and credibility.

Can you kindly advice on what the next steps should be as the article got rejected? Carma AlYounes (talk) 07:07, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Managing the social media of the orchestra is definitely an association with the orchestra and a conflict of interest that should be formally disclosed. Please read that link for instructions. You do this management for free? Note that "paid editing" is not limited to specific payment for edits or submissions, but includes any paid relationship with a topic whatsoever. I'm kinda curious as to why you thought managing the social media of an orchestra is not an association with it.

The draft was declined, not rejected. "Rejected" means that resubmission would not be possible. "Declined" means it may be resubmitted. The article must not merely describe the orchestra and its performances/activities. It must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the orchestra, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable orchestra. Interviews with orchestra personnel, brief mentions, announcements of its routine activities, and other primary sources do not establish notability. Wikipedia wants to know what sources unaffiliated with the orchestra have decided to say about the significance or influence of it as the source sees it, not as the orchestra itself sees it. 331dot (talk) 09:46, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: FirdausOrchestra (November 21)[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 331dot 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 music-related topics). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The sources seem to mostly be interviews with orchestra staff, which does not establish notability.

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:FirdausOrchestra 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.
