Your submission at Articles for creation: Navarik (July 21)[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 Theroadislong was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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:Navarik and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not make any further changes to 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Navarik (July 22)[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 Bearcat was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies).

If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is written like an advertisement, not like a proper encyclopedia article, and it is not referenced to reliable sources that constitute proper support for notability. You do not make a company notable enough for a Wikipedia article by referencing the content to Blogspot blogs and the company's own self-published press releases about itself -- you make a company notable enough for a Wikipedia article by referencing the content to real media, such as newspapers, magazines and the news divisions of CTV, CBC, Global or Citytv.

Paid editing[edit]

Hello Rhalldearn. 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:Rhalldearn. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Rhalldearn|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. Theroadislong (talk) 15:59, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I thought I did disclose my relationship with the company? I am the CEO. I have a public presence so I am happy for people to know who I am. I can leave the page for other people to edit who have no current involvement in the company. That might help improve the conflict I have on this topic. However, I was aiming just to describe the company and it's history in Vancouver. Rhalldearn (talk) 18:31, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing again[edit]

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 07:03, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found a guide on conflict of interest and it appears I should not create a page on Navarik and leave it to someone else. Rhalldearn (talk) 16:31, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
