Your submission at Articles for creation: Victoria Brynner (June 27)[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 LaMona was:

First, you have to use Wikipedia's style for the article. Start with WP:SMOS. Next, who she is related to and who she knows, even who she has worked with, is not important. What matters is what she has accomplished herself.

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:Victoria Brynner 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Walter Faulstroh (October 29)[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 SwisterTwister was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Still basically his own advertised job listing and this is currently unacceptable, there's no inherited notability from anything or anyone else and so you will have to focus with adding and focusing with only the in-depth third-party news, and please not press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews or other company-influenced triviality.

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:Walter Faulstroh and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Walter Faulstroh (November 28)[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 Robert McClenon 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 guidelines on the notability of people 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:

This draft has notability issues and tone issues.

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.

Undisclosed Paid Editing[edit]

Hello Laura bachrach. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Laura bachrach. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Laura bachrach|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Spitfire^Tally-ho! 03:14, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I do not work for the company nor do I have any financial stake in anything. I did not know that I was not allowed the edit the article that I started. Please let me know next steps. Thank you. (Laura bachrach (talk) 03:31, 21 December 2017 (UTC)).[reply]

Hi Laura, I found the website of a "Laura Bachrach" who works as a PR manager, and mentions on her website that she creates wikipedia articles for clients, I assumed that this was you. This especially seems likely since most your article submissions are for companies or individuals who require PR management.

If you are creating Wikipedia articles as part of your PR management role, this is completely fine and you can continue, but first you must disclose this on your userpage following the instructions above. Failure to do so could result in you being blocked and bringing your company and clients into disrepute.

However, if as you say, you are not a PR manager and are just editing for the joy of it, then that's great! That is completely fine and you can continue to edit as normal.

Any other questions please let me know!

Cheers, Spitfire^Tally-ho! 03:44, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is my website and while I do PR, I no longer work on my own nor have clients anymore. With this in mind should I disclose that I am a PR person but that I am not working on behalf of anyone? Sorry for all of the questions. (Laura bachrach (talk) 04:05, 21 December 2017 (UTC))[reply]

Hi Laura, since you're not actually editing on behalf of anyone or being paid for it currently, there's no requirement for you to disclose anything on your userpage. This conversation also serves as a record of you stating that although you are a PR-person but are not editing wikipedia in connection with this role. So you can continue to edit as before. That said, you optionally may want to say something on your userpage about this, which will hopefully prevent other suspicious users from questioning you and you having to explain again.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask and I'll check again tomorrow. Happy christmas! Spitfire^Tally-ho! 04:13, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Is it appropriate to write this on my user page? "Please note that while I work in public relations, I am not editing Wikipedia in connection with my role as a PR professional or on behalf of any company or individual". Thank you for your guidance (and patience). Laura. Laura bachrach (talk) 16:49, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya Laura, that would be perfect, yes. Spitfire^Tally-ho! 01:04, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
