If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This person is notable under WP:PROF but the submission is not quite good enough to be accepted. Too much information is not backed up by inline sources and it looks rather like a CV, not an encyclopaedic article.

Your draft article, Draft:Loren E. Wold

Hello, MerryLindsey. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Loren E. Wold".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:04, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello MerryLindsey, I have undeleted the draft per your request at WP:Requests for undeletion#Draft:Loren E. Wold. If you have an external connection with the subject, you have a WP:Conflict of interest and will have to disclose the same. See WP:DISCLOSE for how to do this, or you can message me if you require help.

This also applies to any other subjects you have worked on: Catherine E. Costello, Patricia E. Molina, and Jennifer Van Eyk.

If the article Merry Lindsey is about you, you can identify yourself on the article's talk page with the {{Notable Wikipedian}} notice. See WP:AUTO#IFEXIST.

If the similarity in name is only a coincidence, and you are using your real name, you should state clearly on your userpage that you are unrelated to the well-known person. See WP:REALNAME. Jay (talk) 19:26, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Patricia E. Molina (January 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by WikiAviator were:

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. 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.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I don't see any reliable sources here that independently talk about the professor (they are all pages hosted by institutions in which she is a member. Also, it reads like a resume and is not written in a WP:NPOV.

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.

June 2022

Hi MerryLindsey! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Research Society on Alcoholism that may not have been. "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. Thank you. Kj cheetham (talk) 22:25, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that information- I have made a ton of edits that are not minor that I marked as such (SMH)- I will not make that mistake in the future. I really appreciate your helping this newbie out!! MerryLindsey (talk) 22:30, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do leave a message on my talk page if I can ever help in the future. Keep up the good work! -Kj cheetham (talk) 17:22, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you & will do!!! MerryLindsey (talk) 17:59, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, MerryLindsey. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Merry Lindsey, 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. The above is just a standard template with some further information. I noticed you tried to declare it on the talk page of the Merry Lindsey article, which I've just fixed for you. Kj cheetham (talk) 19:38, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you- I will use the request edit template in the future. I really appreciate your fixing all these mistakes. MerryLindsey (talk) 20:00, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MerryLindsey, I do hope you went through my comment as well on the conflict of interest in a section above, on making any disclosures as needed. Jay (talk) 03:12, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Jay- I did see it & Kj cheetham helped me fix for my own article. I will request edit in future for that one. I'm reading up on COI for colleagues that I know but don't have any collaboration etc with to make sure I'm disclosing appropriately. Please keep helping me, I really do appreciate & am learning. MerryLindsey (talk) 12:50, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. You're probably better to put those two boxes on your main userpage at User:MerryLindsey rather than the talk page. -Kj cheetham (talk) 14:02, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
