Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. Bongomatic 12:40, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Edward Anders, from its old location at User:GCA10/Edward Anders. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liancetalk/contribs 03:25, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Edward Anders has been accepted

[edit]
Edward Anders, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.
The article has been assessed as C-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. If your account is more than four days old and you have made at least 10 edits you can create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.

Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Jessi Hempel moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Jessi Hempel, does not have enough references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements sources and citations to remain published. Most of the references are her own articles or non-independent listings or an interview where she says whatever she pleases. Much of the content is name=dropping. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. DGG ( talk ) 10:25, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since this is written in the manner of a press release, it is reasonable to ask whether you are a connected contributor, in which case you must declare the connection. Please see our rules on Conflict of Interest If you are writing this for pay or as a staff member of the organization, see also WP:PAID for the necessary disclosures.

Concern regarding Draft:Jessi Hempel

[edit]

Information icon Hello, GCA10. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Jessi Hempel, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 14:05, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon

Hello GCA10. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to LinkedIn Top Companies, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:GCA10. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=GCA10|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. HaeB (talk) 07:37, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, HaeB for helping me get a fuller understanding of Wikipedia's conflict of interest policies. My apologies for not having fully understood them before. In my situation, I'm not being paid to write about anyone (including LinkedIn) on Wikipedia. But as I look at the broader list of overlapping interests that could be seen as potential conflicts, I understand and accept the message that you're conveying. I'll withdraw from any further editing on pages related to LinkedIn.

I'm awed -- and slightly terrified -- to be hearing directly from an expert who has played such a crucial leadership role at Wikipedia for all these years. But I'll take it as a sign of the Wikipedia community's deep commitment to upholding high standards. Appreciate it.
