Kallyope moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Kallyope, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Per WP:PAID you must disclose correctly and go through AFC. PRAXIDICAE💕 14:57, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Thanks for this comment as well. Can you possibly give me an indication of which statements need citations, or which sources are not reliable? There are no claims present, only statements of fact, and all are cited by independent sources to the best of my knowledge. Thank you! Ephraim Gursky (talk) 15:30, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May 2022

Hello Ephraim Gursky. 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:Ephraim Gursky. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ephraim Gursky|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. PRAXIDICAE💕 14:59, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Thanks for the help! I have made the disclosure on my talk page and on the Draft:Talk page for the Kallyope entry. Please let me know if I have done this correctly and I will then address the remarks about the need for more verifiable sources in the article. Ephraim Gursky (talk) 15:13, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ephraim Gursky, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by Kallyope for their contributions to Wikipedia.

Concern regarding Draft:Kallyope

Hello, Ephraim Gursky. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Kallyope, 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.

Your draft article, Draft:Kallyope

Hello, Ephraim Gursky. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Kallyope".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:03, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
