Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Caesarc. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Gene Caesar, 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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:00, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have already filed a statement disclosing my conflict of interest. I would like to make it clear that there can be no financial conflict of interest, as the author died in 1986 and as his daughter I have never received any royalties for his work. But I believe that this author represents part of our cultural heritage (and Google Books agrees with me). Gene Caesar published hundreds of stories and articles on American history, natural history and outdoor life in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as several books, one of which earned a national award. I hope you will consider this article. I am happy to work with an editor and revise to make the article more neutral in its tone. Thank you for your consideration.

Where have you filed this filed disclosing statement? I only ask as this should be done either on your own user page, or on the talk page of each article/draft to which the COI relates, or preferably both. I can find no such disclosure; in fact, neither User:Caesarc nor Draft talk:Gene Caesar exist yet. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:38, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this. Perhaps I did not submit it correctly. I will try again. Caesarc (talk) 16:05, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Gene Caesar (August 12)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

whole sections have zero sourcing.

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:Gene Caesar 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.

August 2023

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Theroadislong (talk) 21:11, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comment! I have removed material with only primary sources.

Could you offer any suggestions for acceptable sources of birth, death and marriage dates, given that scanned certificates and sites like MyHeritage are not accepted? Caesarc (talk) 19:01, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a search page from MSU Libraries with birth and death dates. Will you accept that as a public record for those dates?
