Your submission at Articles for creation: Sugar Valley Rural Charter School (February 5)[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 Umakant Bhalerao 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:Sugar Valley Rural Charter School 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.

February 2023[edit]

Hello GMorris419. 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:GMorris419. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=GMorris419|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. I see that you declared a COI; if you work for the school, you must make the stricter paid editing disclosure. 331dot (talk) 16:23, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am not being paid, directly or indirectly, in any way possible. I am only trying to add a specific subject on Wikipedia that has yet to have been added. GMorris419 (talk) 15:52, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is the nature of your conflict of interest? 331dot (talk) 16:02, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My conflict of interest is the fact I attend this school. Due to this, I thought it would be appropriate for me to clarify there is a COI, since there is a change I could be bias in my writings. GMorris419 (talk) 13:57, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your answer. 331dot (talk) 14:00, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. GMorris419 (talk) 14:16, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should I remove the Conflict of Interest box on my homepage if the COI is only intended for paid contributions? GMorris419 (talk) 14:55, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

COI includes more than just paid contributions; COI is any connection at all. All paid editing is a COI, but not all COI editing is paid editing. We ask people to declare conflicts of interest, but it is not a Terms of Use requirement as declaring paid editing is. You should keep the COI notice. 331dot (talk) 16:40, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you for informing me of this. I will re-add the COI declaration to my account. GMorris419 (talk) 18:18, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:SVRCS[edit]

Hello, GMorris419. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:SVRCS, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 19:03, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:SVRCS[edit]

Hello, GMorris419. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "SVRCS".

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. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:52, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
