Hi. Sorry. Your edits are highly promotional. Also, regarding this, the point is that such claims need reliable secondary sourcing, and any awards etc. need to have some kind of notability. Drmies (talk) 21:14, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, 76.74.76.178. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Pioneers Go East Collective, 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. Drmies (talk) 21:15, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pioneers Go East Collective (February 7)[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 Drmies was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Earlier problems were not addressed. The recent addition by the IP editor is obviously promotional in tone, and while it added one or two sources that appear valid, those sources aren't used to verify text but simply to add promotional text to the article. The rest of the article is still a mess, in terms of formatting and citation. There's a huge linkfarm, and while some of the links may be valid and helpful, many are clearly not--and these links are just there, without verifying any of the text in the article. If this had been put up in mainspace it would have been speedily deleted as promotional, and not easily repairable even by experienced editors. Note also that the latest editor has not acknowledged a pretty obvious conflict of interest.

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:Pioneers Go East Collective and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit 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.
