Your submission at Articles for creation: Around the Sun (audio drama) (March 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 TipsyElephant was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please read WP:NPOV, WP:PROMO, and WP:PUFFERY. Phrases and words such as "notable", "thematic tapestry, with an existential flare", "existential New York City flare", "In spite of its depth", and "merits of the series have been touted" are all clearly not neutral and serve to promote the show. It's also probably worth reading WP:COI and considering the copyright issues previously noted WP:CV. TipsyElephant (talk) 15:49, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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:Around the Sun (audio drama) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Around the Sun (audio drama), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

WP:NPOV problems have not adequately been addressed and Superbrad6 has not disclosed whether he is Brad Forenza or not. If this is resubmitted without significant improvements it will be rejected and you will be unable to resubmit the draft.

Links to draft articles[edit]

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Dolores Catania. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 15:08, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Links to draft articles - again[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Vincent Pastore, François Clemmons and Christine Nagy, you may be blocked from editing.
It was clearly explained, above, that you should not add links to draft articles, but you have continued doing so. Please stop - Arjayay (talk) 17:00, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Arjayay- I thought I was being encouraged to add the hyperlinks by another editor. Apologies if I misunderstood their message to me; however, I GREATLY, GREATLY appreciate the red hyperlinks/placeholders that you have (presumably) added, as I await approval of AROUND THE SUN's submission. I will learn how to add the red, "placeholder" hyperlinks going forward. Thank you again. Superbrad6 (talk) 02:30, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Superbrad6. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Around the Sun (audio drama), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 19:29, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @Theroadislong... I appreciate your insights and diligence and guarding of this page, and the broader Wiki processes. Superbrad6 (talk) 18:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
