Welcome!

Hello, Kim at ESY Creative, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Dungeons & Dragons, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

I also noticed that your edits (including edits as ESYCreativeLLC) were tagged as "Minor edit". "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information.

March 2023

Hello Kim at ESY Creative. The nature of your edits 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:Kim at ESY Creative. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Kim at ESY Creative|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. Also, as stated above, please stop marking all your edits as minor when you're adding details to articles (such as your edits to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. & Hozier (musician)). Sariel Xilo (talk) 21:07, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Stardew Valley, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Again, if you're adding new details to an article, then your edit should not be marked a "minor edit". Sariel Xilo (talk) 20:07, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notability and other matters

Thank you for making the proper disclosure of paid editing on your userpage. Before you attempt to create new articles for any clients, please keep the following in mind.

Existence does not equal notability. In order to merit inclusion on Wikipedia, a topic must be sufficient notable to the world at large and over a period of time. This generally means that the topic must have already acquired significant coverage from multiple reliable sources that are independent of the topic itself. Refined subject-specific notability criteria have been developed for certain types of articles, such as companies/organizations, people, music, events, etc.
Reliable sources are sources that have an established reputation for fact-checking an editorial oversight. This heavily favours mainstream news organizations, academic press, and reputable publishers of newspapers, books and magazines. Independent sources are sources with no personal, political or financial interest in the subject. Primary sources affiliated with the subject are only suitable in limited situations. Self-published sources with no editorial review are unacceptable - this includes almost all social media, blogs, and internet forums/message boards. We also not accept unpublished original research.
If an article is accepted, then the subject of the article will never have any right of ownership or control over its contents. Consensus is Wikipedia's fundamental editorial model, and any disputes over content must be civilly debated in a process of discussion and compromise on the article's talk page. If that fails to resolve the disagreement, other dispute resolution measures are available.
You will be expected to disclose any and all clients you create or edit articles for. You should also ensure that your client knows that you cannot guarantee an article's acceptance, nor can you lock it down to a version they prefer. There are a lot of reasons why having a Wikipedia article is not necessarily a good thing. Therefore you should set realistic expectations for them, and ensure that you are not making promises that you don't have the ability to keep.
If you haven't already done so, please review the mandatory paid editing disclosure policy and the guide for editors with a conflict of interest.

Paid disclosure

I fixed your {{paid}} disclosure on your userpage so that it would both display properly, and correctly identify both your employer and client. If I have made a mistake, please let me know. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:08, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Van Ethan Levy (November 3)

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:

Sources are interviews/Levy's comments which are not independent so cannot be used to establish notable. Other sources are brief mentions, blogs which are generally unreliable or primary 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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Van Ethan Levy and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit 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.
