AfC notification: User:Kittyo/sandbox has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at User:Kittyo/sandbox. Thanks! Theroadislong (talk) 11:12, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Kittyo, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was User:Kittyo/sandbox, 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:

Best practices for editors with close associations
Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
The five pillars of Wikipedia
Contributing to Wikipedia
Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Simplified Manual of Style

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! -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:46, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kittyo. I've added the above template after seeing your question at WP:THQ#Help with sandbox and reviewing, also COI declaration. The template contains blue links to some Wikipedia pages that I think you might find helpful. You might also want to take a look at Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything, Wikipedia:Notability (people), Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing and Wikipedia:Ownership of content because they explain some things about Wikipedia that you might not know. I realize you're not trying to create an article about yourself, but I think the information found on the "An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing" might still be. If after reading these pages, you feel your father is Wikipedia notable enough to have an article written about him and want to try and do so, you might want to take a look at Wikipedia:Your first article as well as ask for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography/Arts and entertainment or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wales since those are two WikiProjects who might be interested in an article about your father. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:02, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

February 2021

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Cledwyn Hughes, from its old location at User:Kittyo/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 16:23, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Refs problem: The majority of the draft's refs confirm that he wrote those books, but there is next to nothing referenced about him. Essential that there be at least three references which have significant content about him. Refs do not have to be available on line, or in English (but helpful if some are).

Your thread has been archived

Hi Kittyo! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Help with sandbox and reviewing, also COI declaration, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread.

The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} here on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:04, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

notice of potential personal bias

Hi, I want to put on record that the subject of this article was my father. Given his publication record in the 1940s-1970s and some recent interest in his work I wanted to create an article in his memory and so that people could find his writing. I found that there was an article on fr.wikipedia in the process, which you may find useful. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cledwyn_Hughes If you have any additions/changes you could make when you read my article to strengthen it I would be very grateful. And thanks for reading it.

Congratulations on starting the article; more like this are needed! Best wishes. Tony Holkham (Talk) 10:19, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
