Your submission at Articles for creation: Bob Gomel : Eyewitness (January 15)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Modussiccandi were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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 films). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please add sources before resubmitting.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Scarbrd2020 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I don't understand why I was blocked. I am very new at this. I apologize if I am not doing this properly. I created a documentary. A friend suggested that I create a wikipedia article for it. The content is fact based, There is no promotion are sales pitch. I am the subject matter expert on the topic. Please let me know how best to create a wiki article for the documentary. I am not trying to do anything but make an informational article about the movie Bob Gomel : Eyewitness. Please advise. Thank you. 69.216.117.100 (talk) 02:26, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This request was made by an IP address. If that was you, remember to log in before making other posts. You seem to misunderstand the purpose of Wikipedia; it is not for merely providing information. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to state about (in this case) a film, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable film. Wikipedia is not interested in what people want to say about their own work; if you just want to tell the world about your work, you should use social media, your own website, or other alternative where that is permitted. Since you don't indicate what contributions that are unrelated to your conflict of interest you might make, I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 02:52, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Bob Gomel : Eyewitness[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Bob Gomel : Eyewitness, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Unblock request[edit]

Scarbrd2020 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was blocked for trying to create a wiki article for a documentary I produced, Bob Gomel : Eyewitness. I was accused of trying to promote the film via wiki. I wasn't. I have other avenues online, web site, Facebook, etc for promoting. I understand now I need more outside credibility for the film to create a stand alone article. The subject of the film, Bob Gomel, has a wiki article about him. I would like to add the information about the documentary of which he is the subject to the wiki article about him. I am requesting to be unblocked so I can submit the information about the documentary about Mr. Gomel to the wiki page about Mr. Gomel. Thank you.

Decline reason:

If you agree to follow our best practices for editors with a conflict of interest, you'll probably be unblocked. Because you're only interested in writing about a topic with which you have a clear and obvious COI, we'd like to be sure that you understand our rules and won't spam our website. Writing about your own work is something that few people can do without any unconscious bias. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 12:06, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read, and do you understand WP:COI? How, in your own words, would that policy apply to the edits you wish to make? SQL ^{Query me!} 00:00, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have read the COI article.

I understand the concerns enumerated in the article.

As for editing the Bob Gomel wiki page with the information about the documentary on Bob Gomel, Bob Gomel : Eyewitness, I am the subject matter expert on the film as I produced and directed it. A such, I am the most appropriate person to enter the facts in the section in Bob Gomel's wiki page about the documentary.

As per the policy, I will declare my involvement in the project.

However, as I understand the policy, I have no COI pertaining to the parent article about Bob Gomel. I understand how I would have a COI on an independent article about the film I made. (I did not fully understand that when I submitted the original article.)

My edit will be factual and not contain any effort to promote the film. I plan to include a list of the stories covered in the film with links to the appropriate wiki articles on the subjects covered, the platform(s) where it can be watched, award nominations and wins, and background on how the film was made.

I have journalistic experience and understand objectivity in writing these types of articles. I am versed in the AP Stylebook for media writing from my days freelancing with AP.

I will welcome scrutiny on my edits to ensure I meet all the requirements and do not run afoul of any rules, including CIO.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your time. Scarbrd2020 (talk) 22:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
