Your submission at Articles for creation: Bitzino Casino (June 11)

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

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:Bitzino Casino 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.

Thanks Bonadea. Sorry for troubling you. I have revised the page a bit to make tone more objective and to be more explicit about the fact that the company is no longer in business. This is my first attempt at drafting a Wiki so I really appreciate any feedback you may have.

Cheers

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bitzino (June 14)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. 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:

Please note Forbes contributor sites are not usable for establishing notability (see WP:FORBESCON). Outside of the Forbes references, the subject is only mentioned in passing. Could you identify the WP:THREE best sources?

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

HI Liance,

Thank you for taking the time to review my article on Bitzino. I will try to identify the WP:THREE for you in next two weeks. Unfortunately, I'm quite busy at work these days; So identifying, or adding such sources, on such a niche and relatively underground topic may take a little more time than I have in the short term.

Again, thank you for your patience. This is my first shot at writing a wiki, so I may need a bit of hand holding to get me through the process.

Cheers,

Hi Liance, Thank you for your help reviewing my draft Bitzino article, and for letting me know that Forbes contributor articles are not acceptable.

Here are three other quality sources. 1. Farivar, Cyrus (2013-01-23). "Bitcoin-based casino rakes in more than $500,000 profit in six months". Ars Technica. Retrieved 2024-06-18. 2. "Bitcoin casino on track to earn nearly one million per year". Digital Trends. 2013-01-23. Retrieved 2024-06-18. 3. "The Weird and Wonderful History of Bitcoin Casinos". 8 August 2023.

Bitzino is also refrenced in several academic journals and in a PwC thought leadership piece. Hope this helps with your review. Thanks, gerry Gerrybo80

Provably Fair moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Provably Fair. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 10:06, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bitzino (August 4)

Your recent article submission has been rejected and cannot be resubmitted. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by CFA was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.

August 2024

Hello Gerrybo80. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Bitzino, 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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 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 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:Gerrybo80. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Gerrybo80|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. C F A 💬 18:35, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CFA,

I am neither being paid nor compensated in any way, directly or indirectly, for this or any article I have drafted or edited. I am not associated with Bitzino, the Provably Fair Foundation, Kunming City, Qingdao City, or Dianchi Lake.

Additionally, I cannot use Bitzino as Bitcoin and gambling are illegal in China; I live in Kunming City. I learned about Bitzino from a close friend who is also active on Wikipedia and is pursuing a PhD in applied cryptography. He suggested I draft articles about Bitzino and provably fair cryptographic topics because they are not well represented on Wikipedia. They are also not related to Bitzino in any way.

I hope this clarifies my position.

Thank you. Gerrybo80 (talk) 01:01, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Provably Fair (August 20)

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

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

None of these links verify anything in the text. I don't doubt "Provably fair" but writing a AI-like essay and sprinkling it with unrelated link is not the way to go.

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:Provably Fair 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.
