AfC notification: Draft:Giovanni Pizzo has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Giovanni Pizzo. Thanks! Hoary (talk) 01:12, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paid contributions

Thank you for the clear and informative statement of your status and purpose that you provided on c:File:Giovanni Pizzo, Sign Gestalt, 1964.jpg. Unlike the great majority of drafts created by people with conflicts of interest, Draft:Giovanni Pizzo is very promising, though it does need more work.

As you "represent the company that holds the copyright to the materials related to Giovanni Pizzo", your intention "to promote awareness of Pizzo's life and contributions to the art world" would seem to have a financial component. Please read Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure carefully, digest what it says, and act on it. When I see that you have done this, I'll help with the draft.

It's possible, of course, that I misunderstand. If so, please explain here. -- Hoary (talk) 02:34, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Giovanni Pizzo (October 10)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Draft is improperly sourced and written in a highly promotional tone rather than an encyclopedic tone, for example: "critical acclaim, dynamic, globally, highlights, influential, innovative, pioneering, prominent, significant"

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:Giovanni Pizzo 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.
