Your submission at Articles for creation: Brian J. Hall (July 17)

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

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.

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:

Multiple problems with this. It's been formatted as a promotional resume. The #Publications section has been corrected, but there are WP:external links and WP:promotional tone that needs to be fied. There is a lot of information in this WP:BLP that is unreferenced. See more help with using full citation style at WP:REFB, but all information (including career and personal info such as birthplace) must be cited including the information in the infobox, awards and honours, etc. From a copy editing standpoint, the infobox needs to be be replaced with a template, see {{infobox academic}}. Given the claimed, but as of yet unsourced, breadth of accomplishments and awards, and the tenured position, the subject likely passes WP:NPROF.

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.

July 2024

Hello Cgh2022. 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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:Cgh2022. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cgh2022|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. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:19, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Brian J. Hall

Hello, Cgh2022. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Brian J. Hall, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.

Your draft article, Draft:Brian J. Hall

Hello, Cgh2022. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Brian J. Hall".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:08, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Drafts

Hello, Cgh2022, I'm Bearcat. Please note that pages in draft space, such as Draft:Brian J. Hall are not allowed to be categorized alongside finished articles in mainspace, per WP:DRAFTNOCAT. The page must stay out of any categories so long as it is outside mainspace, and this is not an optional rule that you're free to disregard or ignore.

You can provisionally list categories in your draft without affecting content categories by using one of the methods described here.

As the page has had to be pulled out of categories twice in less than half an hour, do not readd it to categories again, because draft and sandbox pages are not allowed to be in content categories. Note as well that there can be consequences for disruption if it doesn't stop, such as page protection or deletion and/or the temporary or permanent suspension of your editing privileges.

As well, note that no type of page, in any namespace, is ever allowed to be filed in redlinked categories that don't exist to have pages filed in them, per WP:REDNOT. Even if the page were in mainspace, it still couldn't be "filed" in Category:Global health researchers, Category:Psychiatric epidemiologists or Category:Trauma researchers — those are not categories that we have, so they aren't categories that you can use, precisely because they do not exist.

Do not file the page in categories, redlinked or bluelinked, so long as it remains in draft form. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 05:27, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
