Your submission at Articles for creation: Caitlin McCarthy (December 15)

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 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 people). 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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Caitlin McCarthy 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.

Just went through the draft and added citations from specific media outlets that are independent of the subject. I appreciate the guidance on what to include. WistahHoney508 (talk) 18:29, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, WistahHoney508. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Caitlin McCarthy, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:48, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for sharing this. I don't know this person. She has received extensive coverage in the New England media (where I live). My apologies if my draft didn't meet standards. I am learning how to do Wiki and learning from mistakes -- I appreciate all help! WistahHoney508 (talk) 13:05, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, understood. Thanks for responding. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:47, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've found the Wiki community very helpful and appreciate the tips. WistahHoney508 (talk) 15:40, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

I see a lot of primary sources and a ton of inline URLs, but what I don't see is coverage from secondary sources, except for a few apparently local or regional reports.

Hello, I linked to the BBC Radio 4 audio doc "Poison in the Womb" which analyzed information from primary sources, such as interviews -- it didn't provide firsthand data or direct evidence but instead interpreted and presented information based on primary sources. Also, the Sunday Post's coverage of the DES apology would be considered a secondary source. The newspaper is reporting on and analyzing an event (the DES apology) rather than offering firsthand documentation or original data about the apology itself.

Kindly review these international secondary sources which show McCarthy is a notable DES activist who helped achieve the world's first government apology for the DES drug disaster that affected millions around the world.

Thank you! WistahHoney508 (talk) 01:19, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to include that in large part to McCarthy's testimony about DES, Sturgeon issued a historic apology for DES, the first ever by a government. This makes McCarthy notable as she's been invited back by the Scottish Parliament for a meeting about next steps and covered by the BBC Radio 4 and The Sunday Post: "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field." Thank you! I'm learning as I go with Wiki and this is all helpful. WistahHoney508 (talk) 01:37, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
