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.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bannerman Design (August 20)

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

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article.

Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

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:Bannerman Design and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bannerman Design (September 3)

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 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:

WP:COI editing is highly discouraged because of submissions like this. More than just removing a few peacock terms, the whole framing of the submission, some high profile clients, a list of awards, a portfolio, needs to be completely redone.

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:Bannerman Design and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Concern regarding Draft:Bannerman Design

Hello, Egobrands. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Bannerman Design, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 21:01, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Julian Bannerman

Hi, Egobrands. I'm 3PPYB6, another editor on Wikipedia. I was wondering whether or not the article you recently wrote, Julian Bannerman, had been created in return for payments. In accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, you are required to disclose any paid contributions you have partaken in—you can do this by following the instructions at WP:PAID#How to disclose (I see you have already disclosed that you have disclosed that you were paid to create Bannerman Design). For now, I have placed a conflict-of-interest tag on the article (seeing as you pretty much have a connection to Julian), but please do let me know if you have been paid to create this article, so there is no obscurity regarding your contributions later on.
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! — 3PPYB6 ^{(T / C / L)} — 21:44, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, could you please clarify the same matters as listed above regarding Isabel Bannerman? Thanks. — 3PPYB6 ^{(T / C / L)} — 21:46, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

hi @3PPYB6 Thank you for your notes. Yes, I was contracted by Isabel of Bannerman Designs to create both articles however this is the only connection and all information was acquired through diligent research. Can you please advise how to proceed? Egobrands (talk) 10:52, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Egobrands, there is a list of instructions on WP:PAID#How to disclose, but I can further simplify it. Your user page already contains a disclaimer that you have been paid for your contributions. Now, in that same template, add the "article" parameter (this can be done by adding "|article=(insert here)" to the existing template. To quote the page, the conflict of interest guideline suggests that you also add the template {{connected contributor (paid)}} to the talk pages of articles whom you have been paid to create. For example, you can go to Talk:Isabel Bannerman or Talk:Julian Bannerman (or click the "Talk" tab on an article) and then create or edit the page with that above mentioned template. Hopefully this helps! — 3PPYB6 ^{(T / C / L)} — 13:19, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again; unfortunately I was not clear enough. It appears as though you actually have to set the userbox and list parameters to "yes". Then, you need to edit the articles (this is important; scratch the article parameter because it's singular) and list your articles in bullet form (in wikitext, insert an asterisk (*). Hopefully I clarified myself, and sorry for any confusion. — 3PPYB6 ^{(T / C / L)} — 13:34, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

thank you, will this allow the conflict of interest flag to be removed from the page publicly? Also there are tags on Isabel Bannerman page that are no longer valid, how do I have these removed? Egobrands (talk) 13:49, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi; thanks again for the notes - I followed along and completed the disclosures on both article talk pages Talk:Isabel Bannermanand Talk:Julian Bannerman and updated my user page. Egobrands (talk) 08:29, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your updates look good! As for the tags that needed to be removed, I believe you were referring to the orphan tag on Isabel Bannerman; I've since removed it as it has been linked to from somewhere else. I've also removed the COI tag as you have already disclosed your paid contributions. However, both pages need to be tagged with the paid contributions tag until the pages have been cleaned up to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! — 3PPYB6 ^{(T / C / L)} — 13:26, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for responding to my questions. I appreciate your help. How do we go about cleaning up? Also what about the notability tag on Isabel Bannerman? Was that not related to the orphan tag? I've since added plenty of references. Egobrands (talk) 13:43, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again @3PPYB6, I see on the quality standards. page you linked where articles can be posted for cleanup, is that what I need to do? Thanks again for your help. Egobrands (talk) 22:28, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Egobrands, I'm sorry I couldn't answer earlier (it has been more than the 100-hour expectation I set). For the notability tag, I would assume that the article barely passes the general notability guideline (The subject is significantly covered in reliable sources such as The Independent and The New York Times, so it may make sense to remove the tag (of which it already has been removed). Lastly, I do not think you need to post a request for cleanup; the "paid contributions" tag will probably take care of that. Thanks! — 3PPYB6 ^{(T / C / L)} — 14:55, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @3PPYB6thank you for getting back to me. Will this tag be on the article indefinitely? How do I ensure that it is in fact reviewed for cleanup to meet wikipedias standards? Who usually does this cleanup? Egobrands (talk) 22:05, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
