Welcome!

Hello, GL19GL61, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Global Economic Prospects, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question.

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I am employed by the World Bank and have created a Wikipedia page that displays the latest global poverty estimates, released in October 2015.

Both the United Nations and World Bank have major publications with related titles (but unrelated subject matter).

The respective Wikipedia pages are:

(UN) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_for_All_Global_Monitoring_Report (World Bank) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Monitoring_Report_(World_Bank)

A Wikipedia search for "Global Monitoring Report" redirects to the UN wikipedia page. Ideally, this search should take users to a "disambiguated" page.

Please advise (or assist) on replacing the redirect with "Global Monitoring Report (disambiguation)." GL19GL61 (talk) 16:15, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, please take a moment to review the disclosure requirements for paid editing of Wikipedia laid out in the Terms of Use. While the note on your userpage is a step in the right direction, I don't think it formally satisfies the requirements.

I have proposed both report articles for deletion since neither gave an indication that the reports themselves meet Wikipedia's standards of notability. Neither cited any independent sources, and I rather doubt the reports themselves have been the subject of significant third-party coverage. If either or both reports can be shown to meet Wikipedia's standards of inclusion, we may have to modify the redirect or create a disambiguation page; right now that seems like unnecessary make-work.

Proposed deletion of Global Economic Prospects

The article Global Economic Prospects has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication that the report itself is notable, no third-party sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Global Monitoring Report -- response

How is this Wikipedia entry -- especially it's data table -- not noteworthy?

1. The report is the single most important source of data and analysis on extreme poverty. The Global Monitoring Report publishes the World Bank's estimates of the number of people globally who live in "extreme poverty." In October, the report announced a new poverty line of $1.90 per day, up from $1.25 per day, garnering hundreds of news articles (https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=%241.90+a+day+poverty).

2. The old $1.25 poverty line is discussed extensively in Wikipedia -- for example, on the "Poverty" page (ranked 624th among all Wikipedia page). Much of the data on the Poverty page is now outdated. I am preparing to correct it, pointing visitors to the Global Monitoring Report table, where applicable.

Huon is correct that the data in the Global Monitoring report is widely sited (in hundreds of news reports), however it's more than just the data. The report itself is a well-know World Bank flagship publication that is widely cited (by name) in news reports and by academics/institutions. A few examples:

AfC notification: Draft:Global Economic Prospects has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Global Economic Prospects. Thanks! CNMall41 (talk) 07:01, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Global Economic Prospects (November 26)

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

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.

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. 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:

This reads like advertising for its particular editions / issues.

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:Global Economic Prospects and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Global Economic Prospects, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

Hello, GL19GL61! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.
