Welcome!

Hello, Chrisroyercollections, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (July 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Timtrent 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 User:Chrisroyercollections/sandbox 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.

Help me!

Please help me with... Draft:Chris Royer Last week, I submitted an article draft to be reviewed, however it was declined. I worked on the article and would appreciate some comments for it to be improved further and increase the chances of the article being published. Chrisroyercollections (talk) 19:19, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to close out your request yet, but the best way to get feedback is to submit it for another review. Are you Christine Royer? Is "Chris Royer Collections" the name of a business? 331dot (talk) 19:30, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot, I'm guessing they are either WP:BOSS, WP:AUTOBIO or WP:COI. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 19:35, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your response. I am not Chris Royer, I am creating this article independently with information I have. Chrisroyercollections (talk) 18:18, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So the first thing that people will think when they see your username is that either you are her or you are associated with her. I would advise you to change your username, which you may do at Special:GlobalRenameRequest or WP:CHUS. You could do something like "ChrisRoyerFan" if you wanted to indicate your area of interest. 331dot (talk) 18:46, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I changed my profile name. Chrisroyercollections (talk) 19:10, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

August 2023

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Chris Royer, from its old location at User:Chrisroyercollections/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 13:18, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for moving the article to draft! Chrisroyercollections (talk) 19:14, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Chris Royer (August 23)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please also fully address WP:COI. You have stated "I am not Chris Royer, I am creating this article independently with information I have", but that does cover all COI. All statements need sourcing, for example the date of birth, entire early life section.

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:Chris Royer and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Chris Royer (August 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 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:

Many of the sources do not mention Royer so not useful and should be removed along with any content attributed to them (which is most of the content and exhibitions). Many of the other source are what Royer says which is not independent so do not contribute to notability and largely not useful. What is needed are sources that have written in-depth specifically about Royer or specifically about his work, not about Halston or others. If resubmitted without substantial improvement the draft may be rejected, meaning it will no longer be considered.

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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, ChrisRoyerFan. 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:Chris Royer, 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.

It is clear you have a conflict of interest so you need to declare. You do not need state how/why you have COI, only that you do. Most of the draft fails verification likely because you are writing what you know rather than what sources specifically support so give WP:OR thorough read. A Wikipedia article only summarizes what reliable source have written which requires in-depth coverage specifically about the subject. If no such sources exist, then an article is not possible. If you have questions or need help, you can ask at the Teahouse. S0091 (talk) 19:28, 27 August 2023 (UTC) S0091 (talk) 19:28, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
