Your submission at Articles for creation: Bill MacKay (musician) (November 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by GraziePrego 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 and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Bill MacKay (musician) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

Still lacking significant coverage on independent sources.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bill MacKay (musician) (July 2)

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

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 after they have been resolved.

July 2024

Hello Monica Woods Writer. 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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 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 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:Monica Woods Writer. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Monica Woods Writer|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. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 15:30, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message, Jake.

I can categorically and factually state that I have no financial or other stake in promoting Mr. MacKay's work, nor the work of any artist for that matter. He is simply one among those artists that I have noted over the years whose presence, though they have had significant attention from the public, has been lacking on Wikipedia.

To be extra clear, I have never met Mr. MacKay, nor anyone representing him in any matter whatsoever, nor been approached to work for hire, or work in any capacity for him nor for anyone related to his career.

In conclusion, thank you for seeking clarity on the creation of the article on Mr. MacKay. I hope this message provides the same.

Thank you for your response. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 18:00, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jake,

After some consultation with OnlyNano and much revision, I have re-submitted my article. Does this mean I should expect to wait the months-long process of submission again to see if it is accepted? There is no rush but I am simply curious about the process so that I can navigate it better.

Thank you very much

MW Monica Woods Writer (talk) 16:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could ask OnlyNano to re-review your submission. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 17:06, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I will do so. All the best.
