Your submission at Articles for creation: Willem Middelkoop (August 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). 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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Willem Middelkoop 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.

Thank you for looking into this page so quickly. This helps me improving the article as a first in a series about internationally famous (living) Dutch people. I started based on the Dutch page which has more references. I removed some of those references because they are entirely Dutch. Was this a stupid thing to do? Can I just give links to Dutch articles as a reference in an English text? If so I will sometime this or next week update the page and make it suitable for wikipedia. There are some English sources for Willem Middelkoop of course too. Mostly interviews on social media. Can I use those as a reference too? Hajosmit (talk) 05:57, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Hajosmit! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Theroadislong (talk) 09:39, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Thanks for the encouragement. Hajosmit (talk) 09:41, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

October 2022

Hello Hajosmit. 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:Hajosmit. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Hajosmit|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. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:35, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To put things straight: I do the Wikipedia editing for Willem Middelkoop and Commodity Discovery Fund pro bono. I do not recieve any compensation for it. In the deletion discussion page I have merely indicated that I have met Willem Middelkoop at some point. And that I have done some paid copywriting directly fr the fund in the past. I once made a brochure and I wrote a blog post. Back from that time I retain a high interest in matters relating to commodities and monetary issues. So I decided om my own part to improve Willem Middelkoops Dutch Wikipedia post. My edits there have been welcomed and accepted. Then I first did a Willem Middelkoop page in English, and after that got rejected (it wasn't adequately sourced), I started on an objective well sourced English page on Commodity Discovery Fund, after I checked that many comparable small funds have Wikipedia pages. I don't mind disclosing that in the past I have done some paid work for this company. How can I mark there that I am not paid for my work on Wikipedia?

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

Hello! Hajosmit, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:35, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Hajosmit,

You know, AFDs are not the best place to ask questions about policies on Wikipedia and how things work here. Discussion in an AFD has to be focused on determining the notability of articles and whether they should be kept, merged or deleted.

However, the Teahouse is set up as a forum for newer editors to ask questions of experienced editors to get advice and support. I recommend you bring your questions there. Rather than asking a question of one other editor, you have the entire pool of editors who frequent the Teahouse who are available to respond so the knowledge pool is greater. Good luck. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:39, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. Will do. May I invite you to weigh in on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity_Discovery_Fund and whether it can be retained? I really feel it's notable and well sourced. Yet it is no Goldman Sachs or Blackrock. Hajosmit (talk) 19:36, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Skiing. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. HopsonRoad (talk) 21:59, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me many times... I just tried to show to a friend how Wikipedia works. I write "skiing sucks" or something and never wanted to publish that. Then later I made a small grammar improvement. That I wanted to publish to show to my friend. Then the first bullshit edit was published too. So I immediately undid that action. Vandalism was never my intention!

October 2024

Hello, I'm Sumanuil. Thank you for your recent contributions to Saifedean Ammous. I noticed that you added an image to the article's infobox as a thumbnail. In future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox, as this is against the Manual of Style. When adding an image, supply only the filename to the |image= parameter and the caption to the |caption= parameter instead. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using; please consult the Template page for the infobox being used on that page for proper instructions and documentation. Thanks! - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 09:03, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this valuable feedback! Did you correct these things already in the article? I will check. Looks like you have. What should I do with this recommendation:

This template is missing TemplateData, and its parameters have been autogenerated. As a result the template and its parameters lack descriptions. There might be additional information on the template's page. Hajosmit (talk) 09:24, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
