Disambiguation link notification for November 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Matthew Bucher, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pearson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Jessica Anthony moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Jessica Anthony, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

> OK, I will add more citations from third party sources. (cc: Praxidicae) FWIW, I used existing articles on living writers of similar styles and ages as a guide and created a similar number of references as those articles. Compare to Deb Olin Unferth, ZZ Packer, Sergio De La Pava. If you reject my article again, could you please be more specific about which lines or sentences need citations?

November 2020

Hello Mattbucher. 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:Mattbucher. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mattbucher|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. Praxidicae (talk) 20:39, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am not paid to create this article. (cc: Praxidicae) I am a fan of this writer and am trying to create a page for a notable writer. I used existing articles on living writers of similar styles and ages as a guide (see Deb Olin Unferth, ZZ Packer, Sergio De La Pava, etc.) I have no stake in this article beyond the fact that I believe it should exist since the writer is a notable person and should have a wikipedia page. You are free to look through my many years of contributions to wikipedia - never once have I been paid to make any of these edits. Mattbucher (talk) 20:01, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
