Your submission at Articles for creation: Jon Sims Endowment Fund for the Performing Arts (March 18)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. 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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Jon Sims Endowment Fund for the Performing Arts 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.

paid editing

Hello Wasabisf. 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 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 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:Wasabisf. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Wasabisf|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. Theroadislong (talk) 20:15, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not directly or indirectly being compensated by the Jon Sims Endowment Fund for the Performing Arts. I am a volunteer serving on their board. All of the board members are volunteers. Does this provide sufficient disclosure? If not, what else should I do?

Are there any other issues with this draft page which I need to correct? If so, please let me know.

You will clearly need to disclose your conflict of interest on your user page. Theroadislong (talk) 21:36, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If being a volunteer, unpaid member of the Jon Sims Endowment Fund board of directors is a conflict of interest, I'll gladly disclose this on the page. What is the appropriate language I need to add? Thank you. 2603:8001:2500:9DE8:9DFB:8:9DB:BB00 (talk) 23:08, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:DISCLOSE for help and please remember to log in before editing. Theroadislong (talk) 07:49, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am still really confused about what I need to do to get this Wikipedia page finalized and approved. I don't know of any conflict of interest. If I need to disclose something, please advise where and how to do this. What else do I need to do in order to finalize this page? Thanks for letting me know.
