Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 5)

edit
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Ktkvtsh were:
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.
This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
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.

Information icon Hello, HeatherGold, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Artennina (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:50, 6 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Information icon

Hello HeatherGold. 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:HeatherGold. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=HeatherGold|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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:54, 6 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Dear DoubleGrazing, I think I did it right now; posting on my user pag the template?
And I will not be paid for making this Wikipedia page for Roeland Hendrikx.
What else do I need to do right now? HeatherGold (talk) 22:29, 6 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
You say here that you are not being paid, but added the paid contribution template (without specifying the employer and client). This seems to be a contradiction. Can you please specify your connection to Roeland Hendrikx? Helpful Raccoon (talk) 23:02, 6 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Never mind, I see that you added more info on User talk:Artennina. You just need to specify that you are being paid by the artist as you are his manager. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 23:07, 6 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Dear Raccoon, am I okay now? Can I start editing again? Or do I need to change or post something else before?
Kind regards, HeatherGold (talk) 19:23, 8 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
This is an acceptable disclosure, but I would still strongly discourage editing about Roeland Hendrikx. A draft has been rejected twice (both at Draft:Roeland Hendrikx and User:HeatherGold/sandbox) for lack of notability as defined by Wikipedia. The reviewers believe that no article about Hendrikx will be accepted for now, and that it is a waste of time for you to continue working on it. It is technically possible to start a new draft from scratch, but it would have to be a major improvement over the previous drafts, starting with sources that satisfy the criteria at WP:42. The problem is that such sources are unlikely to exist, given the large number of declines and rejections. If you continue to submit unacceptable drafts, you will likely annoy the reviewers and eventually find yourself blocked from editing. You are free to gain experience by editing other articles unrelated to Hendrikx. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 07:03, 9 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
