Username concern

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "SuffolkSheriff", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it represents both an organization and role. Wikipedia doesn't allow organizations to have accounts here, and also a username cannot be an anonymous role, like "marketing" or "public relations" or "sherriff". A username must clearly represent only one individual as a person. To avoid being blocked, please request a change of username ASAP. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:02, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disclosure of employment

Hello Megan J. Siegal. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Suffolk County Sheriff's Office, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Megan J. Siegal. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Megan J. Siegal|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:13, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Drm310: A COI declaration has been on the user page since before the username change. I agree, though, the paid template would be better. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:09, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Errol D. Toulon, Jr. Draft 1 (December 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon 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). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

See WP:Markup for how to mark section headings. Section headings are delimited by equal signs (=), which are used to construct the table of contents of a page. Please change the first-level headings (=) to second-level headings (==). Does not satisfy political notability and does not appear to satisfy general notability.

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:Errol D. Toulon, Jr. Draft 1 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:Errol D. Toulon, Jr. Draft 1, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
