Hello CharlotteMillion. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Timothy Mottet entry. 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.
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, 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:CharlotteMillion. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=CharlotteMillion|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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:18, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Here is my reply to your message WorldBruce. It is explained by a story.

In 1983, a junior communications major named Tim Mottet came to the Office of Public Relations at William Jewell College (where I was director), asking me to hire him as a student intern. I did so, and there he proved himself a valuable asset, as he was a quick learner in improving writing and thus effective communication. He graduated in 1984, off to work with an airline and then to graduate school years later. I continued my career in marketing communications for higher education, working at several colleges and universities and with a consulting company in Missouri and Colorado. I was laid off my last position in 2011, at the age of 58. I took care of my parents, moving them into my home and (after my father’s sudden death) caring for my mother, who had significant dementia, for two years.

Fast forward to spring, 2017, when I was pleased to see in the William Jewell e-news that Timothy Mottet was being named as an alumni achiever (for the Campus of Achievement) and was being honored on campus. I watched his acceptance speech online, and wrote a note of congratulations to him at Northwest Missouri State University, where he was provost. He wrote back, saying he was one of four candidates being considered for president of Colorado State University-Pueblo. Indeed, he was so named and started work on July 1, 2017.

We reconnected at my home in Denver, where I have lived the last 28 years. I offered him any help he might need as he embarked upon this presidency. I knew the institution had limited resources for writing. He asked me to consider writing a Wikipedia post, which I was happy to do, as a gift to him, celebrating his achievement and our history.

In fact, I have just returned from the university in Pueblo, where I attended Tim’s opening address to the faculty and staff, and to the key student, community and foundation constituents. All at my own expense.

So, although I clearly am a professional writer and know what I’m doing in creating a Wikipedia article, it is not as part of a promotional business. I will not be submitting other articles for consideration.

However, I think it is absolutely appropriate that Dr. Timothy Mottet receive a bio page in Wikipedia, and I encourage you to approve this submission. Charlotte Million CharlotteMillion (talk) 19:29, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

I made every change every editor wanted in the process, but was completely disheartened when each new editor came up with the same complaint despite my changes. I think from the beginning the editorial group (whoever they are) decided I was not sufficiently within the wikipedia culture so anything i did would be rejected. That is, I wasn't part of a large group of unrelated people who could create the item. The "issue" was that CSU President Timothy Mottet was not sufficiently outstanding in his field. Yet academic, research, and academic CEO are evidence. And in time, I predict there WILL be an article on Dr. Mottet posted on wikipedia because your editorial group will finally realize what is already true: he is an outstanding leader, especially among hispanic-serving institutions.
