Your submission at Articles for creation: Barry Brewer (November 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by CaptainEek were:

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.

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:

Basically every claim in an article about a living person needs a source. Many paragraphs of this article lack a source. Also, there is too much detail about his early life, which is also written in an un-encyclopedic manner.

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:Barry Brewer 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:Barry Brewer, 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.

Declare any connection

Hello Michaelmonet44. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Barry Brewer, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Michaelmonet44. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Michaelmonet44|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. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:28, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WorldBruce,

Thank you for your review. I am writing to state that I am in no way a paid advocate and I am not receiving any form of compensation for this article, directly or indirectly. It is not clear to me what edits led to that conclusion, but my recent edits were all made to accommodate the suggestions of the last member who reviewed the original submission back in November, Captain Eek. Please let me know if there is any further information I need to provide or additional edits I need to make in order to have this article approved.

Thank you,

MichaelMonet44

Thank you for your statement. I've left a comment on the draft. If the sources in the draft are the best available, then I doubt there is anything you can do to get the draft accepted, other than wait until more is written about Brewer in independent sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:02, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
