Your submission at Articles for creation: Richard Baxter (March 2)

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

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.

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.

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 Draft:Richard Baxter 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 Draft:Richard Baxter, 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.
If you need any assistance, 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.

March 2020

Hello Jroakes. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Richard Baxter, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Jroakes. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Jroakes|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. Sulfurboy (talk) 08:40, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sulfurboy,

Thanks for the review of my edits to Richard Baxter. I have received no financial compensation for the edits to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Richard_Baxter. I do not know Richard other than being followed by him on Twitter. If you review my user page at (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jroakes) it will be clearer about the reason for my edits. I have no other objective other than to attempt to fill gaps where Google suggests there is global interest in persons, yet their creation in world's knowledgebases has not been established. Many years ago I did attempt to edit client's profiles from this account https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Belluck_%26_Fox,_LLP, but I have since grown up. I work with global brands in Technical SEO, meaning I work with their developers to ensure that search engines can find their content. This is my area of expertise and the area I can edit content authoritatively. Jroakes (talk) 12:24, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
