Your submission at Articles for creation: The Friedman Brain Institute (November 16)

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

The article, especially lede and goals section, is not encyclopedic in tone. I would shorten the Goals section and put it into a section about the work being done (the section can be called "Work" or something else). The lede should use few or no buzzwords. The list of research areas and leadership is a bit overwhelming. If there are a few key areas that the institutes research has led to published results, put those and cite the publications or press coverage. If possible, write that up in a more natural way than a list, it can be the rest of the "Work" section. For leadership, I would only include individuals with wikipedia pages. I wouldn't include titles (MD, PhD), they are distracting. Summaries of the leadership could be written in a more encyclopedic tone as well.

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.

Your account appears to be in use for promoting advertisement of your affiliated institution using a Wikipedia page

The use of Wikipedia for the purpose of advertisement of an institution with which you are affiliated by the creation of a new page for it is against Wikipedia policy. You appear to be involved in the use of your account on multiple occassions for furthering the purposes of your affiliated institution and its related personnel by trying to create a new article to promote it and by trying to delete referenced materials associated with personnel at your affiliated institution. If you persist in using Wikipedia for the purpose of creating an advertisement page again for your affiliated institution or deleting referenced material from articles associated with personnel related to your institution your account priviledges may be blocked or restricted without further warning or notificiation. 146.203.126.241 (talk) 19:28, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. 146.203.126.241 (talk) 19:50, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest and paid editing in Wikipedia

Hi Ejdjr. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. I agree with the IP who wrote above, that you have an WP:APPARENTCOI. your edits to date are promotional with regard to Mt Sinai, its medical school, and related centers and people. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, Ejdjr. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Comments and requests

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with Mt Sinai, its medical school, and related centers and people, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency or the like)? You also must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation of you are being paid, or expect to be paid, for editing Wikipedia. You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it, and as I said, if you are being paid, you must disclose. After you respond (and you can just reply below), I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 17:27, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Jytdog, My only connection to Mt Sinai is being a patient and interested in the health care work they do. I’ve made numerous updates to Wiki pages related to Mt Sinai, none of which are “promotional.” In fact, and like other editors, I’ve followed the Wiki quidelines. The edits I’ve made are improvements to facts, cleaning up articles of broken links and including missing references.

Copyright problem on Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Material you included in the above article appears to have been copied from the copyright web page https://linknovate.com/affiliation/mount-sinai-school-of-medicine-6294/all/. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions or if you think I made a mistake. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:47, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has received messages from several editors above such as @DGG: indicating that editing and creating articles which appear as paid advertisement is not done at Wikipedia. You appear to have agreed to this but now you seem to be editing in a manner almost identical to other accounts making almost identical "shadow" edits under different names: User:Ejdjr, User:2604:2000:E010:1100:481C:C04B:CF99:1210, User talk:Netspiderx, and other similar IP accounts. You have also been asked to stop "Whitewashing" articles through section blanking by @Drmies: but you have apparently returned to doing this. I am an infrequent editor of Wikipedia and will try to restore your section blanking at this time. Please stop edits which appear to be paid advertisement and please stop whitewashing articles by section blanking. @Diannaa: has also requested that you stop copying copyrighted materials. The articles which you have previously section blanked and are now section blanking again appear to be Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Mount Sinai Hospital (Manhattan). 146.203.121.6 (talk) 20:38, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DGG, you removed a bunch of content just as I was looking at it, and I absolutely agree that there were serious problems with the content that the IP had restored--thank you. I think that Netspiderx's edit summary was not completely complete, but it wasn't bad. Both editors (or more than two?) should have been discussing this on the talk page, of course. In the meantime, thank you for looking at it. Drmies (talk) 21:17, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, at least some of the removal was perfectly correct, even if done by an affiliated editor. It deals with BLP material concerning individuals working at the hospital. Some of it it belongs in the article on the hospital , but not in such detail. It certainly does not belong in the article on the medical school also. I've removed it from the med school article, and it may not be restored without consensus on the talk page. I'm in the process of removing some of it from the article on the hospital. Again, it may not be restored without consensus on the talk page. I shall check the articles once more for promotional material.

But if you are connected with the organization, you must declare it. WP:COI and WP:PAID would then apply. (and, 146.203.121.6, WP:COI it also applies to you. DGG ( talk ) 21:20, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Drmies, I will let you continue --if you'd rather I did, let me know. DGG ( talk ) 21:24, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DGG, please do: my laptop is running out of juice, and me out of energy. But IP, let me tell you this also: please do not make unfounded accusations of socking. DGG, I have found no evidence of foul play. Drmies (talk) 21:26, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
