The comment the reviewer left was:

Many sections are not sourced, and may constitute WP:OR. Please ensure that additional source are found. Also, while not mandatory to pass AfC, it would help if you added additional sections into the article as are found in most articles. Ideally the lead is not more than 4 short paragraphs long, and summarizes the article.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Maximum Genetic Diversity (MGD) (November 7)[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 CaptainEek was:

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Much improved. However, the page reads like it is an essay, trying to convince the reader of the truth of the theory, rather than neutrally presenting the theory. If there is any criticism of the theory, that should be presented as well. Also, the article needs to make better use of summary style, the preferred Wikipedia method for showing content. I also suggest adding an overview section. The history section should also be the first or second section, per standard article formatting.

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.

Disambiguation link notification for November 12[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Maximum genetic diversity, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Phyla, Basal and Hardware (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:10, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

November 2019[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Evolution, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:40, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, the Wikipedia page itself was the reliable source. Should I have formally cited that at the end of the paragraph? Harvard2TheBigHouse (talk) 15:44, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did on Evolution. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 15:48, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Where is there unsourced or poorly sourced information? Please provide something specific unless you're just making edits regarding a page you have not read yet and do not understand. Harvard2TheBigHouse (talk) 15:51, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have twice added unsourced material to the Evolution article and then added a Wikipedia source. Wikipedia cannot reference itself. Theroadislong (talk) 15:54, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So how am I supposed to source the basic facts explained by the Wikipedia page that I already linked? New information can't be added to pages? I don't understand. Harvard2TheBigHouse (talk) 15:57, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All content requires a source, that is a fundamental part of how Wikipedia works. We ONLY report on what the reliable sources say, if you can't find a source to support your content, then it cannot be added, it's simple. Theroadislong (talk) 16:01, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Gene, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Adrian J. Hunter^{(talk•contribs)} 10:02, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you're having a bit of a hard time here. That is because you are trying to force your view through (possibly a non-neutral one...) against consensus, in what is only just short of edit-warring. On that subject, I removed the words "and reception" from a section heading with the sufficient edit comment "sorry but this is not right; 1) 'and' is terrible in headings as it means 2 subjects; 2) this IS NOT a reception, that means PURELY THIRD PARTY OPINION", but you promptly put it back, only for another editor to give it the chop, big time. It would help enormously if you'd read what other editors say as well as observe what they do, and try to fit in. Neutrality, non-disruptiveness, and use of reliable secondary (independent) sources are all mandated by policy. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:04, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest on Wikipedia[edit]

I have noticed that you have inserted various sources by Sirotkin and am thus issuing this important message:

Hello, Harvard2TheBigHouse. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 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 WP:Spam);
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. —Paleo Neonate – 04:23, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

September 2020[edit]

Hello, Harvard2TheBigHouse, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Karlsirot (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. GeneralNotability (talk) 14:24, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
