Your submission at Articles for creation: Mark G. Lawrence (December 3)

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

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 content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It reads like a resume, in addition to the large unsourced sections.

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:Mark G. Lawrence 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:Mark G. Lawrence, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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.

Paid editing?

Hello WeWo-IASS. 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:WeWo-IASS. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=WeWo-IASS|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) 14:57, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Paid editing

@Theroadislong: Hello Theoradislong, thanks for your message. I am an employee at the IASS but am not receiving direct compensation for writing the article about Mark G. Lawrence. Since it is common practice for scientific directors (see O. Edenhofer, C. Rubbia, P. Nanz or countless others) to have english Wikipedia pages written about them in a similar manner, I had assumed that it is valid for the interested public to be informed about the director of a nonprofit research institute in Germany and wanted to contribute by writing this article. Please let me know how I should proceed from here, I am still new to Wikipedia. Thanks! WeWo-IASS (talk) 18:44, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As an employee, you are deemed to be a paid editor and must make the required disclosure as directed above. Theroadislong (talk) 19:00, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help, I have updated my user page as you suggested. WeWo-IASS (talk) 10:00, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article.

Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The article needs to be rewritten from scratch. Much of this still sounds very promotional. The rewriting was not sufficient Please read WP:NPOV and existing articles on scientists and academics. This article has a lot of potential.

Your draft

I am just letting you know that I declined your draft. The only problem with the article is that it needs to be rewritten to sound more neutral. Thank you for addressing the problems with sourcing, and I hope to see this article published soon. Feel free to ping me when you rewrite this. Scorpions13256 (talk) 22:22, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
