Your submission at Articles for creation: Jon van Eerd (September 17)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of the references are not WP:INDEPENDENT. We need more like [1].

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:Jon van Eerd and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

DEAR MODERATOR, SOME TIME AGO WE SUBMITTED AN ARTICLE ON DUTCH ACTOR AND PLAYWRIGHT JON VAN EERD THIS WAS FOR REASONS UNCLEAR TO US NOT ACCEPTED. WE HADN'T HAD THE TIME YET TO PROPERLY MEET WITH YOUR REQUESTS.

BUT THE REAL REASON WE ARE WRITING YOU, AND WE HAVE NO OTHER WAY OF CONTACTING YOU, IS THAT WE WERE APPROACHED BY SOMEONE WHO IS CALLED (Redacted) WHO OFFERED TO REWRITE AND SUBMIT THE ARTICLE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE PLACED IN WIKIPEDIA. IT WAS A KIND OFFER WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED. IT BECAME CLEAR TO US THAT IT WAS A HIGHLY MISLEADING AND BRUTAL EMAIL WHEN THE NEXT CAME STATING WE WOULD BE CHARGED $200 FOR DOING IT. THERE HAD BEEN NO MENTION OF THIS, AND SINCE WIKIPEDIA PROUDS ITSELF AS A FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA WE REALIZED IT WAS A SCAM. THE EMAIL ADDRESS THAT WAS USED IS (Redacted) WE HAVE WRITTEN AN EMAIL TO HER/HIM SAYING THAT WE WOULD REPORT THIS TO YOU. WE ALSO WARNED THAT WE WOULD PROCEED AND TAKE LEGAL ACTION SHOULD THIS HARASSMENT CONTINUE. WE HOPE YOU APPRECIATE THIS INFORMATION. AND WE WILL PROCEED WITH PERFECTING OUR OWN CONTRIBUTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. RUTH TALING (PA to Jon van Eerd)

The person who contacted you is a scamster and a fraud, currently blocked as a consequence of Orangemoody editing of Wikipedia.I will request you to cease any form of communication with the person/group and forward the entire conversation to the functionaries, so that we can tackle them better, in future.~ Winged Blades^Godric 06:35, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
