January 2018

Please stop continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to. This may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 21:17, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And read WP:COI above. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 21:17, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mlvandijk, I'm not the 2601 IP so you're emailing the wrong person. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 21:46, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mlvandijk. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Deb (talk) 14:21, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your e-mail

The best place to respond would have been my talk page. I can accept that you don't have any connection with the subjects of your articles. Perhaps the Wikipedia:NPOV tutorial might help you. I am assuming also that English is not your first language and maybe there are nuances of meaning that we are reading into the article that you didn't mean to be there. For example, "Gregory was honored by her peers by being voted the Most Influential Agile Testing Professional Person at Agile Testing Days 2015". Well, she may have been voted such, but we have no idea how many people were involved in voting; it may have been 5 or it may have been 500. The word "honored", however, does not apply as it is neither an award nor an honor in the normal sense. I've amended that wording to give you some idea how it could be better expressed.Deb (talk) 19:01, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lisa Crispin (March 9)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Why extensively sourced, the sources are largely not WP:INDEPENDENT of the subject.

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:Lisa Crispin 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:Lisa Crispin, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
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.
