Your submission at Articles for creation: Biography of H.E. Ambassador Dr. Samuel Ben Owusu (March 12)[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 KylieTastic was:

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.

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:Biography of H.E. Ambassador Dr. Samuel Ben Owusu 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.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

unblock reviewed |1=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 102.176.75.143 Place any further information here. I am writing to respectfully request an unblock of the IP address 102.176.75.143, which has been affected by a block for being caught by an open proxy. However, after thorough investigation, I can confirm that this host or IP is not an open proxy.

I am an individual user who relies on this IP address to access Wikipedia for legitimate purposes. I am not affiliated with any open proxy services and have no intention of engaging in disruptive or unauthorized behavior on Wikipedia.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the specifics of open proxy blocks or the reasons behind them. However, I can assure you that I am committed to following Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and contributing constructively to the community.

I kindly request that you review the block on the IP address 102.176.75.143 and consider lifting it, as it is not associated with any open proxy activity. I am eager to regain access to Wikipedia and continue using the platform responsibly.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I appreciate your prompt consideration of my request.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pottervilles (talk • contribs)

We will not be lifting that block. Please see Template:Blocked p2p proxy for more details. Additionally, once you are able to edit again, we expect you to refrain from further inappropriate edits such as the ones you've been making so far. --Yamla (talk) 10:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Pottervilles. 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 article subjects 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. --Yamla (talk) 09:45, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
