Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:41, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rachel Watkyn (July 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Timtrent 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 appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Full of puffery. Blatant advert.References are atrocious. Since you are clearly a paid editor I have no interest in giving you deeper guidance. Research what to do on your salary. I've removed a blatant copyright violation. The picture is a blatant copyright violation and is up for deletion on Commons. I am about to warn you over paid editing

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:Rachel Watkyn and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not make any further changes to 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.

Hello, KRobertsTBC! 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! 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:40, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

July 2022

Hello KRobertsTBC. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Rachel Watkyn, 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:KRobertsTBC. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=KRobertsTBC|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. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:41, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:KRobertsTBC, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=KRobertsTBC|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:50, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing again

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 08:05, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am really sorry this is my first time doing this and its a bit of a mind field. I am not a paid editor far from it. I was trying to write like other articles and follow their structure to simular people. I have taken her two companies off as i could see this might look like I am promoting them. That was not the intention I was trying to go into more depth about my subject. KRobertsTBC (talk) 09:16, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is your association with Rachel Watkyn or the Tiny Box Company, noting that "TBC" is part of your username? 331dot (talk) 09:18, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see your other post where you say you are "an assistant in an office". If you are employed by the company, you are a paid editor, you do not have to be specifically paid or asked to edit. You must make a paid editing disclosure. 331dot (talk) 09:29, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help. I did not know this. I thought a paid editor was someone who makes money from writing these post for a living. KRobertsTBC (talk) 09:43, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any paid relationship with a topic triggers the disclosure requirement. You also have a conflict of interest, please read that page for information on best practices. 331dot (talk) 09:46, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
