Welcome, Karl8704![edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia, Karl8704! I'm NightWolf1223, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.
You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.
If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.
Again, welcome to Wikipedia! NW1223<Howl at me•My hunts> 02:49, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
License tagging for File:Peter Wayne Lewis1.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Peter Wayne Lewis1.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:30, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Karl8704!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

March 2024[edit]
Hello Karl8704. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Peter Wayne Lewis, 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 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 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:Karl8704. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Karl8704|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. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Justlettersandnumbers,
- Thank you for your attention to the draft page "Peter Wayne Lewis." I can assure you that NO, I am NOT being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits. I do want to make sure that this, my first Wikipedia page, is as grammatically correct as possible, as well as structured in the most efficient way. Perhaps next time (I'm considering creating a page for the Kingsley Art Club), I'll do all of my editing offline and post a better draft with fewer changes, and with a minimum of online correcting and editing. I apologize if I gave the reviewers the wrong impression.
- Thanks for the note - Karl O. Karl8704 (talk) 23:20, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Links to draft articles[edit]
Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 19:39, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
