Ibrahim S. Quraishi (visual artist) moved to draftspace[edit]

Hi. We request that paid editors and others with a conflict of interest don't create articles directly in mainspace. Instead they should disclose who is paying them, and submit their articles through the articles for creation process. I've moved your article to Draft:Ibrahim S. Quraishi (visual artist). – Thjarkur (talk) 01:25, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for notifying me. I will disclose the information in a bit, spent the day reading up Wikipedia guidelines, terms and conditions, and other similar cases to do this the right way. Once I disclose the required information, will you move the article back to the main page? Ashley.Bell (talk) 17:10, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added disclosure statements as per Wikipedia guidelines for paid contributions in my user talk space and the draft's talk space, as well. Please move the page to the main space after review. Thanks! Ashley.Bell (talk) 18:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, AshleyBell208. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 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 WP:Spam);
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. – Thjarkur (talk) 01:27, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I will ensure that all the guidelines, terms and conditions are followed from now on. Thanks for informing me. Ashley.Bell (talk) 17:12, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Quraishi[edit]

Hi, thank you so much for declaring. There are multiple instances in the article on Quarashi where the text is being very liberal with sources, not directly reflecting what the cited sources say. Please add URLs to the articles that are missing and take care to only include information directly verified in the cited sources. The current sources don't demonstrate that well that he has gotten significant coverage from multiple independant sources, most mentions seem very short. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:13, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for notifying me. I will review the article once more and make the necessary changes. Ashley.Bell (talk) 22:07, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits[edit]

WP:COIEDIT: you should put new articles through the Articles for Creation (AfC) process instead of creating them directly. Much of Wikipedia's rules are not literally mandatory, but we have limited patience with editors who go against these guidelines. Your articles are sub-par and require review. The majority of the sources on Draft:Nicolas Porter are press relesases or spam blogs and should be removed. – Thjarkur (talk) 22:34, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is a difference between "should" and "must". If there is a matter of references and citations, you could put up a template message for that. Here are a bunch of them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages/Cleanup#Individual_message_boxes:_Biographies_of_living_persons. Ashley.Bell (talk) 22:39, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Editors who do not follow these "recommendations" tend to end up blocked. – Thjarkur (talk) 22:44, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How are these recommendations? This seems like bullying and harassment. Ashley.Bell (talk) 22:45, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome![edit]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Fresh Pawz[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:Fresh Pawz, 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.

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ibrahim S. Quraishi (visual artist) (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 Justlettersandnumbers 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:

This appears to be more or less the same text as this revision of Ibrahim S. Quraishi, added here without attribution. It is not remotely encyclopaedic in tone, and reads more like the pseudo-intellectual artspeak which constitutes the publicity materials of commercial art galleries. Nor do the sources support the claims made: where in this article does it say that "Quraishi’s research is specifically rooted in the search of otherness; the shifts between accepted citizens and non-citizens in a surveillance driven culture", or indeed anything like that?

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:Ibrahim S. Quraishi (visual artist) 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:Ibrahim S. Quraishi (visual artist), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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, 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: Nicolas Porter (dentist) (January 16)[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 AngusWOOF 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 people). 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:

Local businessperson WP:MILL
