User talk:KatelynEbs

Welcome!

Hello, KatelynEbs, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Jonathon Hensley, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Jonathon Hensley

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Jonathon Hensley, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alignment-Overcoming-internal-sabotage-digital-ebook/dp/B08ZKDN6QD. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

How does editing work?

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

First, thank you for the feedback! I would like to utilize the material that I have but work on making it less promotional. Once that is removed, I am confident we can come to a solution. What is the proper protocol to fix an article for resubmission? I want to make sure I take the right steps in doing so. Any help is greatly appreciated! KatelynEbs (talk) 00:11, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you now understand that you can't copy-paste material into your draft even to work on it, if it might be considered as copyrighted material from elsewhere. You could prepare "in your own words" material on your computer in a text editor and paste that into a draft.

You can submit your draft at any point where you think it is ready to be reviewed. You can continue to improve it while waiting for the review. Reviewers will generally start with the latest available version, but may well look into the draft's earlier revisions. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:46, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, KatelynEbs. 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 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. Thank you. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 00:52, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How does this work?

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Is there a workaround to this? I am not a direct employee of Jonathon Hensley and I am not a family member. Any help is appreciated. KatelynEbs (talk) 00:13, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A "workaround" to what? If you expect to receive any type of reward or compensation for editing, or are expected to edit as one of your duties of employment (regardless of who the actual employer is), you are required to disclose as a paid editor. The only "workaround" to that is to refrain from editing about any subject for which you're being paid; otherwise disclosure is mandatory. To avoid articles you write being deleted as promotional, don't write promotional material. Ensure that everything written is strictly neutral, supported by a reliable and independent source (and additionally, for claims of health benefits and the like, by medically reliable sources), and avoid any kind of "talking up", puff adjectives, and promotional language. Write in a formal tone (so, for example, full name of an individual is used on first mention, and last name thereafter, encyclopedia articles are not a "bio" or "profile"), and place no external links within article text (if the article has an official website, one link to that site, at the bottom of the article in an "External links" section, is appropriate.) Finally, do not copy material from elsewhere; article text should be written in your own words based upon an accurate summary of the reliable and independent sources used about the subject. Finally, please ensure you actually find high-quality sources, not podcasts, interviews, blogs, and YouTube videos. If a good amount of high quality source material does not exist about this individual, they are not an appropriate article topic at all.

I'll add one more caution and close this help request. If you have a connection with the subject of an article, you are requested not to make edits to the article directly. Instead you should make {{edit request}}s on the article talk page. Once your conflict of interest is disclosed on your user page, there is no restriction on you being able to create a draft that will be submitted for review. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:52, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
