March 2017

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to David Cunliffe, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Please have a read of the guideline covering the 'minor' tick box.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Zephyr Airworks (March 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Heliosxeros 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Zephyr Airworks 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:Zephyr Airworks, 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Zephyr Airworks (April 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gene93k 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 organizations and companies, 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:

Possibly notable aircraft, but the references do not cover the Zephyr company in sufficient depth.

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:Zephyr Airworks 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:Zephyr Airworks, 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.

Conflict of interest query

Kia ora Nanosecond, I wondered why you would possibly remove David Cunliffe's former spouse from the article's infobox, together with the reference that confirms how long they were married for and when they separated. Looking at your edit history, I see you have a very narrow range of interest: electric personal air vehicles and Cunliffe. Thank you for declaring a WP:Conflict of interest (COI) with two electric personal air vehicle red links. My question to you is: how come that of your 17 live edits, 11 were on the Cunliffe article across 6 different dates? That is a lot of attention. Combine this attention with the curious removal of referenced content, the question arises whether you have a need to declare a COI? Your response will be much appreciated.

Thanks for your enquiry. Me and a group of friends are avid politicos and had previously undertaken to keep up-to-date with a number of former politicians post politics. At the time (several years ago), we divvied up the ex politicos as a public service to keep wikipedia updated - it's an interest. We do have connections to political parties, but across the spectrum. I was keeping Mr Cunliffe's up to date because I actually liked him and thought he did some good things when he was Communications Minister. I updated Mr Cunliffe's details most recently because someone in my circle made me aware of them. I verified that it was true through another friend. I didn't think it was a crime to be interested in politics or to update particular people's pages? Regarding taking out his spouse from the info box. That came after a conversation that we all had. Most ex politicians (or even politicians) do not mention a spouse at all in their info box let alone name them. If you look at Georgina Beyer or David Parker or even people like Roger Sowry - none of them have a spouse mentioned in the info box. I don't know if there is a stylistic thing to have it for certain people?But it just seemed a matter of consistency. I left it in the main body of the text so I'm not sure what the problem is? I think you shouldn't read more into things than there is quite frankly, but appreciate your need to enquire.
