Hello, I'm FormalDude. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Call of the Void, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ––FormalDude talk 18:51, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi FormalDude! Thank you for looking into this page! I think the cast list was right. But the source was wrong. Is there a way for me to link the creator's website instead? https://www.acornartsandentertainment.com/cotv-cast IrisSpine (talk) 02:46, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you can add that link as a citation. ––FormalDude talk 05:39, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Michael Alan Herman (March 30)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

None of the sources are usable because they are primary, not reliable (blogs) or do not mention him.

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.

Hi S0091!

Thank you for the help on this article! I appreciate how fast and professional you were in helping me. As I provide more evidence (non-primary sources) would you like me to replace the old sources? Or just leave them there? Thank you again for your time and help! IrisSpine (talk) 01:14, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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).

The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs external news sources that focus on Herman's career. That the show won some kind of award doesn't mean he is notable. It's not clear what the awards are either, perhaps just for their actors or other stuff. If it's an Emmy or something significant then it should highlight that. Also do not name drop other actors. It doesn't matter who else is cast.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Pulp is a blog so not a reliable source (and above that written by a digital marketing consultant, so likely not independent). Curtco is a podcast network so not a reliable source and the content is a standard profile likely written by those affiliated so not usable. Horror News and Podcast Magazine are generally considered reliable but Horror News is an announcement and Podcast magazine is an interview so neither are independent. ET Canada nor toofab mention Herman. There might be a better argument for an article about the podcast rather than Herman but critical reviews are by reputable sources are needed (see WP:WikiProject Podcasting/Sources).

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Michael Alan Herman. Thanks! S0091 (talk) 16:12, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @S0091! Thank you so much for the feedback and help here. It is seriously so helpful. I read through the notability page again, and I still think that Michael qualifies. Under the creative professionals section, is says a person is likely to be notable if they created a significant work. Michael was the co-creator of the Webby-honored fiction podcast The Call of the Void. The Webby Awards are some of the largest awards on the Internet. I tried to link some articles that proved Michael was a creator on this caliber, but I must still be doing something wrong. IrisSpine (talk) 22:43, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, IrisSpine. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted.

First let me apologize for missing the fact an article about the podcast already exists. I got caught up looking at the sources so certainly an oversight. As for COI, please read through the material above. If you do have a COI, you need to make the declaration. Having a COI does not preclude for from working on/submitting a draft so feel free to carry on but other rules apply to articles. S0091 (talk) 16:41, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
