Article for creation help desk[edit]
I did not send you an email; rather I expect you were automatically notified because I responded to your question on the Articles for creation help desk. I'm not sure what problems you have and therefore cannot offer detailed advice. I have removed the template that produced the "sandbox" message; that problem should be fixed. What your draft article needs are reliable secondary sources about the subject, for example newspaper articles or books discussing his work. Without significant coverage in such sources Buttignol will be deemed non-notable by Wikipedia's standards, and thus not a proper topic for an article. Currently some of the sources are primary sources (such as Buttignol's company's website), and many others do not even mention him. For example I checked the links for the first three documentaries, and none of the pages linked to mentioned Buttignol. The Hot Docs link about the 2007 Outstanding Industry Achievement Award also pointed to a page that didn't mention him, and even worse, their 2007 Awards page also does not mention him; the award that sounds most like the one Buttignol supposedly won was instead awarded to Heddy Honigmann. Thus the article's content currently isn't even verifiable. Huon (talk) 19:15, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
May 2012[edit]
Hello Mbuttignol. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Buttignol, Rudy, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. joe•roet•c 20:44, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
