Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Popularuse. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Raffi Yedalian, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:50, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The draft is tagged as possible COI. Do you have such a conflict? In Draft it is merely interesting, once an article it is of more significance. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:12, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Timtrent,

Thank you for reaching out and for bringing up the concern about the possible conflict of interest. I just want to make it clear that I do not have a conflict of interest related to the topic of the draft. I appreciate your reminder about the importance about neutrality and my goal is to contribute accurate information to the best of my capabilities to Wikipedia.

If you have any specific questions about the draft or would like to discuss any potential issues, I would like to collaborate.

Best regards,

Can I ask how would you describe your relationship to the subject of your draft? Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:09, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DoubleGrazing,

Thank you for the follow-up question. My relationship to the subject of the draft is simply as an editor and contributor to Wikipedia. My primary motivation of writing this article is the belief that the artist has a significant body of work and accomplishments in the art world, and writing this article will be a benefit for Wikipedia readers and Art lovers. I want to clarify that I do not have any personal or financial interest in the topic.

I’m committed to upholding the principles of neutrality, ensuring that the content is in line with Wikipedia’s guidelines and policies. For any further clarifications, I’m here to assist and collaborate.

Best regards,

I suspect you are Yedalian, or at least the same user as User:Raffi Yedalian. You must declare your COI properly, or you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:29, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looking more deeply, it seems that you have had multiple accounts. What about User:Vahramart?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:33, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Raffi Yedalian (October 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Timtrent were:

"Lebanon. [13] [14] [15] [16]" and other examples are prime examples of WP:CITEKILL. Instead we need one excellent reference per fact asserted. If you are sure it is beneficial, two, and at an absolute maximum, three. A fact you assert, once verified in a reliable source, is verified. More is gilding the lily. Please choose the very best in each case of multiple referencing for a single point and either drop or repurpose the remainder.

In addition, references in section titles are useless. A reference is intended to cite the facts, not the headings

Reviewing this further without knowing which references you will choose is impossible.

For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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:Raffi Yedalian 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.

Footnotes 18 and 22 refer to unreliable sources. Also note that your text formatting is quite off; please have a look at the WP:MOS. Best, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 13:41, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Johannes Maximilian
