Welcome![edit]

Hello, Mdkolodzi, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Mdkolodzi, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content protocols, and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are struck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at the our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions ask me on my talk page or you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! creffett (talk) 00:51, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

June 2020[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. creffett (talk) 00:52, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Michael D. Kolodzi, Attorney at Law (June 10)[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 Liance were:

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 content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Based on your username, it seems that you may be writing an article about yourself. Please note that writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged because of issues with neutrality and point of view.

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:Michael D. Kolodzi, Attorney at Law 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:Michael D. Kolodzi, Attorney at Law, 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, 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.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Mdkolodzi. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page International Football Alliance, 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 {{edit COI}} 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. Bbb23 (talk) 19:17, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All I am changing on the Wiki page is false statements and misspellings. As the attorney for the league, I have true knowledge of the teams involved and their situations.

They are not argumentative changes. There is no conflict of interest. I am reiterating facts, as it stands right now, concerning the teams involved (how many and which cities).

Where is the problem? Mdkolodzi (talk) 19:21, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As far as Wikipedia is concerned, you clearly have a conflict of interest, which means that you must follow the procedures above, including declaring the conflict on your userpage, and not editing the article directly, but instead proposing any changes on the article Talk page using {{edit COI}}. If you don't follow those procedures, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:29, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And are you with Wikipedia or are you the person that is posting the inaccurate statements?

Let's recap my changes:

1. Only 5 teams, not 6 in inaugural season;

2. There is no San Diego Team;

3. Ric Serritella is not involved with the IFA;

4. The works "revealed" and "season" were misspelled; and

5. The FAM league is no longer existent. Thus, they are not a direct competitor. Mdkolodzi (talk) 19:32, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am a Wikipedia administrator. This is not the place to discuss your changes. My warning to you stands. It's up to you whether you comply with Wikipedia's policies.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:39, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
