Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Independent NH Politics. 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. S0091 (talk) 21:03, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Brodie Deshaies (October 16)

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 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:

This is written as if it is his platform. Anything that is sourced to his website, that of his campaign or any other source that is affiliated with him needs to be removed along with the content attributed to it. The same for any content is not sourced. Wikipedia is not is not a form of promotion. It is clear this is written by someone closely connected.

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:Brodie Deshaies 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:Brodie Deshaies, 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, 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Brodie Deshaies

The article you submitted to Articles for creation has been created. after I removed the promotional content

As reviewing administrator, I need to warn you: Since this is your only contribution, and since it is written in the format of a press release, it is reasonable to ask whether you are a connected contributor, in which case you must declare the connection. Please see our rules on Conflict of Interest If you are writing this for pay or as a staff member of the organization, see also WP:PAID for the necessary disclosures. this is not optional

In particular, do not restore the promotional campaign material I added to the article. If you do so, you are likely to be blocked.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Donald Dostie (October 20)

Request for more information regarding denial of page creation: Laurie Sanborn

Laurie Sanborn is involved in leadership in a US State legislature. She is most certainly a person of interest and is an extremely important person at the New Hampshire State Legislature. I strongly disagree with your dissertation that the sources are not primarily about her / she is mentioned secondary. The other deputy leader in the NH house (same position as Sanborn) has far less sources and his page is active. Fred Doucette What is the difference between Sanborn and Doucette? Independent NH Politics (talk)

@Independent NH Politics: Hello, I have accepted the article but note that the article can be expanded from 'stub' to at least 'start'. You should try and add more content about the subject. There's a lot to add out there. I'm not chanced or else I would have help expand the article. So just try and add more informations and remember to back it up with reliable sources. Thanks and all the best. 👍Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 11:49, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Laurie Sanborn has been accepted

Laurie Sanborn, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Mccapra (talk) 06:41, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

hi I see you’re a new editor and I’ve just put an article you created up for deletion. Please don’t be discouraged by this. It takes time to work out what the basis for a good article is, and we all make false starts. If you think the article should be kept you can make your points in the deletion discussion, but in any case I’d encourage you to keep searching for notable topics to write about. If I can be of any help please leave a message on my talk page. Mccapra (talk) 06:46, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
