Your submission at Articles for creation: Ocean Blue Project (September 4)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing 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). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:Ocean Blue Project 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:Ocean Blue Project, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

Hello Superhima. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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.

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:Superhima. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Superhima|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. 331dot (talk) 17:37, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Administrator,

Thanks a lot for the detailed explaination. I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. All my edits in Wikipedia has been personal and part of my selfless work of contribution to Wikipedia. I love to write and want to improve on it thats the only main purpose. The request to create this particular article was from an non-profit Ocean Blue Project as they have been struggling to create a Wikipedia page. The request was made long back at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Business_and_economics/Organizations I have few questions so that I can redirect the founders of the organization to successfully create the page: 1. Should I get email confirmation from the organization's founder and submit to your team to create the page? 2. If I am not allowed to, who in their organization is allowed to create the article page sucessfully? Your suggestions will be of great help! Superhima (talk) 20:20, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You said that you "work as a volunteer for Ocean Blue project". If you review the paid editing policy; volunteer work counts as being a "paid editor", because you are compensated with the experience of the volunteer work. The policy states "Interns, on-loan staff, and unpaid workers, including volunteers, are deemed to be employees" and "Payment or compensation: includes, but is not limited to, money, goods or services. Users who are compensated for any publicity efforts related to the subject of their Wikipedia contributions are deemed to be paid editors, regardless of whether they were compensated specifically to edit Wikipedia." In short, you need to declare as a "paid editor", even as a volunteer.

Regarding your first question, no confirmation is needed, because an article subject cannot grant or deny permission for a Wikipedia article to be written, because it is not up to them. It only depends on if the organization meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources.

It isn't that you "aren't allowed" to create an article- though it is highly discouraged. Please review the conflict of interest policy(or this plain language explanation). Those in your position tend to have a very difficult time editing with the neutral point of view and independent sources required by Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not interested in what any article subject wants to say about themselves, be it directly here, or on its website, interviews, etc. We are only interested in what independent sources state with significant coverage. "Significant coverage" goes beyond brief mentions, name drops, press releases, announcements of routine activities, and other primary sources. In order for you to be successful in writing a draft about your organization, you in essence need to forget everything you know about it, and only write based on the content of independent sources. That is usually very hard for people to do.

If you truly feel that you can write an article as I have described here, you may use Articles for Creation to create and submit a draft that another editor will review, before formally placing it in the encyclopedia(if accepted). Most people in your position fail in their first attempts, I will caution you, because writing a new article is the absolute hardest thing to do on Wikipedia, and it's even harder with a conflict of interest.

You should also be advised that even if you succeed in getting a draft accepted; once it is in the encyclopedia, you could no longer directly edit it, and would need to make formal edit requests instead. You could not prevent others from editing the article, or lock it to the text that you or your organization might prefer. Any and all information, good and bad, can be in an article about your organization as long as it appears in an independent source. I know this is a lot of information, and I apologize, but I must be frank and honest with you. 331dot (talk) 20:37, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I will add that the Requested Articles area is severely backlogged with literally tens of thousands of requests(or more) and few volunteer editors to review them and create articles. It will be a long time, if ever, before someone acts on the request there. My suggestion would be to simply go about your organization's work, and independent editors will eventually take note of its work in reliable sources and choose to write about it. Feel free to show those at your organization this message. 331dot (talk) 20:40, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
