Your draft article, Draft:Danielle Kisser

Hello, JoshuaThoreson. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Danielle Kisser".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗plicit 00:53, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

June 2024

Hello JoshuaThoreson. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Lois Jackson, 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:JoshuaThoreson. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JoshuaThoreson|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. Wracking ^talk! 18:34, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, this is not at all a compensated work- I was just adding onto a stub Wikipedia page using articles from only non-partisan sources so the information in the article should be unbiased as I have no personal connection to the topic person in the article. If it does not reflect a neutral viewpoint I would not have it displayed on the article, so if there is anything that does not comply with Wikipedia article standards I would remove it myself or ask that someone else could remove such information.

Thank you for checking in with me on this matter, let me know if there are any further questions and I will continue to work with other Wikipedia editors to create an unbiased space for knowledge online.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Castellar de Santiago. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. PearlyGigs (talk) 18:50, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
