January 2021[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself, at Draft:Joe Scanlon. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Conflict of interest[edit]

I've seen you've already been contacted about this topic, but, since you've kept editing Draft:Thomas Joseph Scanlon, I thought I'd raise this again. If you are in any way connected to the subject of an article (and your username suggests you are), you are strongly discouraged from editing that article. Please read WP:COI to make sure you are aware of Wikipedia's policy with regards to conflicts of interest. Modussiccandi (talk) 21:00, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Thomas Joseph Scanlon (January 11)[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 Modussiccandi was:

The text of this submission has been removed from Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning biographies of living persons; we cannot accept such articles if they are unsourced, or contain unverifiable information which is potentially defamatory. All articles about living persons must conform to our biographies of living persons policy. In order to permit the author of this submission to provide sources that may satisfy the policy, the text of the page is available in the history.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The article has far too much information that isn't referenced with reliable sources. What's more, the creator seems to have a COI.

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:Thomas Joseph Scanlon and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

FYI[edit]

I cleaned up Draft:Joe Scanlon and let the two past reviewers know that it has been edited. There was way too much information there. If it is published, then you will have to cease editing the article and only make requests via the talk page. Thanks. Possibly (talk) 03:29, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
