Your submission at Articles for creation: Chapin Hall (institute) (July 13)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

This subject is undoubtedly notable, and you sourced it very well, but right now it has a very promotional tone. Articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view. If you still don't understand, you may want to read "Words to watch", "Advocacy", and possibly "Conflict of interest". Feel free to talk to me. Good luck!

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:Chapin Hall (institute) 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:Chapin Hall (institute), 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.

Conflict of interest and paid editing

Hi and welcome to wikipedia. Thank you for making clear that you have a conflict of interest. There are a number of policies you will need to comply with in order to edit about such topics so below this I have included a standard notice outlining some of them. Please note that the policies on paid editing will also apply to you and that you must disclose your employer both on your user page (preferably by using the Template:Connected contributor (paid)) and on articles you edit. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. Thanks, Melcous (talk) 02:51, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

COI notice

Hello, Mvanmeeter. 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. 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. Melcous (talk) 02:51, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
