Your submission at Articles for creation: Roof Tech, Inc. (March 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 Theroadislong was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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:Roof Tech, Inc. and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Roof Tech (May 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dan arndt 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 organizations and companies). 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:

Fails WP:NCOMPANY, lacks any independent secondary sources or references.

Hi Stuartyeates, thank you for your comment. It really helped to explain why the article wasn't being approved! I don't think this company has the right kind of independent sources (at least that I can find on the internet) so I may have to give it up. Thank you again!

Paid editing

Hello Cmykpoly. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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, broadly construed, 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:Cmykpoly. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cmykpoly|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. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Theroadislong (talk) 07:26, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Theroadislong, turns out I did use the articles for creation process, but given that paid advocates shouldn't be writing articles, I'm going to give up on the page. Do I need to get the draft deleted or will it auto-delete?

I quite like editing articles that I have knowledge about, so will most likely keep doing that (for fun, not for money).

Thank you so much for the advice and help. Cmykpoly (talk) 08:08, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It will auto delete in 6 months or you can blank it and I'll tag it for deletion. Theroadislong (talk) 09:01, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Theroadislong Thank you, I blanked it. Please tag it for deletion when you have the chance :) Cmykpoly (talk) 17:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Theroadislong, sorry, I thought I did it correctly on my user page. I will update it. The instructions on how to disclose were very confusing for me. Thank you for suggesting that I use the articles for creation process. I will explore that option. Cmykpoly (talk) 07:39, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
