Your submission at Articles for creation: Cybercy (August 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Calliopejen1 was:

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.

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 User:Glenn Welby/sandbox/Cybercy 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 User:Glenn Welby/sandbox/Cybercy, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" 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.

September 2020

Hello Glenn Welby. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Cybercy, 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:Glenn Welby. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Glenn Welby|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. I see a gentleman by your name is closely associated with Cybercy. There is a certain irony about this.

Thanks for your fulsome response, let me address your concerns. Draft:Cybercy is my first attempt at submitting an article to Wikipedia and I have been on a steep learning curve. I have received no funds to draft this latest edit, I have received some coaching on requirements for an article to be included and some guidance and support in proper citing of my sources. I have used Easybib.com to assist in presenting my sources correctly. I was quite pleased with myself that I had improved the quality and robustness of my first article :-)

I am indeed the owner of a business called Cybercy registered in Australia and Singapore, I own a trademark with a logo that spells the word CYBERCY. In my article it is clear that the word was imagined before I engaged in the business or this article. The breadth of my sources and research I believe demonstrates a thorough understanding of this subject and it nascent nature, I do intend to sell services to address a lack of Cybercy (is that Ilcyberate?), nonetheless I believe that the matter is of public importance and the academics writers and organisations that I have cited clearly share a general view that this is an area of global significance.

I am delighted at the thoroughness of this wikipedia process and will be happy to provide whatsoever you require to persist with this submission.

Please follow the instructions in the section above Fiddle Faddle 08:56, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The process here is more than thorough. There is a minimum standard of notability and verifiability that all articles must meet. Paid contributions (broadly construed) have a bigger hurdle to leap than others because they must be above reproach. Fiddle Faddle 09:09, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
