User talk:Kateat2C2P

Welcome![edit]

Hello, Kateat2C2P, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Hello, and thanks a lot for reaching out! Really appreciate the additional information , and have also just read the notes/reasons for declining my recent submission. I'll take note of this and work on improving the article draft before resubmitting.

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I also just wanted to confirm / ask a couple of things:

Is it alright if I move the declined Draft submission back to my userspace? Or better to create a new User Sandbox page entirely?
I'm a team member at 2C2P and the sole user of this account. Is it alright to keep my username, or is it better to request one that doesn't mention my affiliation at all?
Once I've got the revised article draft ready, can I just reach out to you directly to request proofreading help? Is there also a space/page where I can ask editors for proofreading help?

I've indicated COI / paid COI on my user profile, though please lmk as well if I've written or formatted those disclosures incorrectly.

Again, thanks a lot for the guidance! Kateat2C2P (talk) 10:02, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft can remain where it is, there is no need to move it back. You are free to work on it where it is. You need only leave the prior requests present at the top. You have correctly disclosed(though you don't need both the COI and the paid, you can just leave the paid notice). Your username is in compliance with policy. If you don't want your real name or your business name in your username, you may request a change at Special:GlobalRenameRequest but, again, your username complies with policy as it is now.

You may request help at the Teahouse, Help Desk, or the AFC Help Desk.

I would note that your draft is not likely to be accepted unless there are significant changes to it. You have a misconception common to company representatives who attempt to create articles about their companies(which we discourage, though submitting a draft is the proper way to do so regardless). Wikipedia is not a place to tell about the existence of a company and its activities. A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. "Significant coverage" goes beyond brief mentions of the company, and cannot include press releases, staff interviews, announcements of routine business activities like the raising of capital, or other primary sources- significant coverage goes into detail about the significance or influence of the company as the source sees it(not as the company itself sees it). 331dot (talk) 10:37, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: 2C2P (November 11)[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 CNMall41 were:

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.

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.

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:2C2P 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.

Hello, Kateat2C2P! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.
