Hello, Tdepp00111111! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Hello Tdepp00111111. 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:Tdepp00111111. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Tdepp00111111|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. You stated that you have edited Wikipedia as part of your duties as an intern, which falls under the definition of paid editing. bonadea contributions talk 22:46, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bondea, I should clarify. Though I am an intern, it is an unpaid internship and I will receive no compensation for this article -- now or later. I disclosed in the talk portion of the page that I am affiliated with the subject that I am posting as required, though it is entirely possible I did that incorrectly. Tdepp00111111 (talk) 16:34, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, you mentioned that "any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly." To the best of my knowledge, I thought I was submitting through the AfC process. I am unclear on what you mean by a "direct" submission, if you could clarify. Sorry, for the confusion. Tdepp00111111 (talk) 16:39, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again – the Wikimedia Foundation's policy on paid editing (part of their Terms of Use) does include interns, paid or unpaid, in their definition of "paid editor". (This is the relevant policy section). You did indeed clarify your connection on the talk page, so the only thing you need to do now is to post a disclosure on your user page as explained above.

Sorry about the unnecessary statement about using the Articles for Creation process. Yes, that's what you have been using! My first post above is actually a templated notice, not one that was especially tailored for yourself. (Editors are encouraged to use such templates when we notify new users about a common issues such as paid editing disclosures.) "Direct" refers to editing articles rather than drafts. Hope this makes sense! Best, --bonadea contributions talk 19:51, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi -- I updated my userpage to include the proper disclosure, and I will now continue editing the draft. Please update me if there is anything else I need to do. Thanks! Tdepp00111111 (talk) 19:16, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Antiterrorism Assistance Program (February 3)

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

Every single sentence in this draft reads like a promotional brochure. It has to be entirely rewritten without any text taken straight (or closely paraphrased) from the sources, even if the sources are free of copyright.

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:Antiterrorism Assistance Program 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Antiterrorism Assistance Program (July 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 Tutwakhamoe was:

The lede section needs to be simplified, as there are many repeated contents. Some portion of the texts still needs to be rewritten, as they are taken straight from government website.

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:Antiterrorism Assistance Program and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your draft article, Draft:Antiterrorism Assistance Program

Hello, Tdepp00111111. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Antiterrorism Assistance Program".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗plicit 00:45, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
