Hello Mrskweaver. It has now been over six months since you last edited your article submission, entitled Happy Wives Club.
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note, however, that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Happy Wives Club}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
It was brought up in November 2017 (on the talk page of this article) that you needed to disclose your relationship to the Nearest Green Foundation and "Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Whiskey" due to the concerns of COI. Please note that activity of editing pages in which you may have a financial stake or contribution is very strongly discouraged. Now it appears you are trying to engage in edit warring in order to have your advertisement-like edits used in the article. Please avoid edits to this article or any related articles such as Fawn Weaver until you have addressed the COI issues. Thank you, Mrskweaver (talk) 03:43, 27 March 2018 (UTC)Jooojay (talk) 03:20, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've never used the talk pages here, so hopefully I am doing this correctly. Please bear with me if I am not. I didn't see the comments here in November 2017 so my apologies for not having responded sooner. That said, with all due respect, the information being quoted in this Wikipedia page, is in large part reliant on my research. I am happy (and honored) to disclose I am the researcher who uncovered the story of Nathan "Nearest" Green, a story previously unknown to the majority of the world. I am honored to also be the chief historian and co-founder of Uncle Nearest. And I am also happy (and honored) to disclose that I am the founder of the Nearest Green Foundation and the person who underwrites the education of every Nearest Green descendant in college and grad school. If I were attempting to hide my involvement, I would not have used a login that contained my name. In fact, I work with quite a few people who could have updated this page. The reason I do it is because I've done the research and thus know the history of this subject better than anyone (I don't think there is a historian out there who would disagree with that statement). Now, that said, the information I am correcting on this page I am doing so as it is incorrect. For instance, Nearest's birth date was not 1840 as someone updated this page to state and there is not one document that notes that date. Tax records in Lynchburg, TN, as well as corresponding documents point to his birth date being circa 1820. If you've found documents that reveal something else, please advise. But all corresponding documents I have point to that date. All of the updates I make have references sited and the source material listed. Very few others have done that...they've just updated based on what they've heard versus what is factually accurate. Hopefully, that makes better sense as to why I make sure to correct any incorrect information I see here. Thank you, Joojay (talk) Mrskweaver (talk) 03:43, 27 March 2018 (UTC)Mrskweaver (talk)[reply]
The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but 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. 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.
I only care about accuracy and not promotions. The edits I make are all related to the history, and as the historian who did the research, edits that are made and are factually inaccurate bother me. So those are the only ones I care to update. In that regard, I am in compliance. The same as the historian for Jack Daniel's doing the vast majority of edits on that page. He has done the research so it makes most sense for him to be the one to make the edits. Hope that makes sense.

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:Mrskweaver. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mrskweaver|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. Jooojay (talk) 20:10, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
