Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Sarah Gallow. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Joel Goldstein, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:25, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bree Goldstein (May 22)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), 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:

I see that you're trying, so I'm going to go over the problems with these sources one by one:

1: A good source which is substantively about her. But since everything else is about to crash, this isn't enough by itself.
2: I'm not seeing how this constitutes coverage about her; it merely includes a single brief quote from her, which does not constitute notability per se.
3 - #7: these are coverage of UpDog, not of Bree Goldstein as a person. They would be valid support for an article about the app; they do not support a standalone BLP of her as a person.
8: Podcasts cannot support notability at all.
9: Namechecks her existence, but she is not its subject.
10: BlogTalkRadio cannot support notability at all.
11: I am not listening to an entire hour-long stream of a radio broadcast, which is not obviously about her in any way, just to find out if there's any actual content about her within it. Find a transcript or it's no good.
12: Namechecks her existence, but she is not its subject.
13: Podcasts cannot support notability.
14: Simply a report about her speaking on a subject that has nothing to do with the notability claim being made by this article.
15/16: Same source, reduplicated twice for no apaprent reason -- and it's not about her, but merely namechecks her giving a two-line soundbite about something else.
17: Podcasts cannot support notability.
18: A press release from her own company cannot support notability.

In addition, a Wikipedia article about a person has to be quite a bit more substantive than simply a two line assertion of her existence, reference-bombed with 18 separate citations that redundantly reverify her existence but fail to actually demonstrate that she passes a notability criterion.

My suggestion would be to forget about this for the moment, and instead use sources 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to start an article about the UpDog app -- which can obviously include her name as the founder of it. But you haven't shown adequate sourcing to support a standalone biography of her as a separate topic from the app.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: National Independent Hardware Association of America (January 29)

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

The references do not appear to show notability, because they appear to be what the organization writes about itself and do not show significant third-party coverage.

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:National Independent Hardware Association of America 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:National Independent Hardware Association of America, 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.
