Your submission at Articles for creation: Amber McMillan (March 16)[edit]

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:Amber McMillan 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Close but not quite. Goodreads is not a reliable source because it is user-generated. Two other reviews are by CBC (Yahoo News is from CBC is as well but that's press release for the Atlantic Book Awards nom which is fine). Are there other reviews of those works?

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, THEFLOWERSHOP. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Amber McMillan, 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);
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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted.

Hi THEFLOWERSHOP, do you know Amber McMillan or are affiliated with her in some way (i.e. her publisher)? S0091 (talk) 19:56, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know Amber McMillan as an author and professor at the University of New Brunswick where I have been employed THEFLOWERSHOP (talk) 20:02, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response. Please make the appropriate COI declaration on your User page (User:THEFLOWERSHOP) by placing {{Userboxcoi||Amber McMillan}} on it (include the curly brackets). For any substantial edits regarding her (or anyone else with whom you are affiliated), you need to make an edit request as instructed above (you might find the Edit Request Wizard helpful). For minor edits (such as linking, adding categories, etc) I suggest stating in the edit summary you have a COI. Something like "COI edit, adding category". It does not need to be that exact verbiage but something indicating a COI for transparency. S0091 (talk) 20:16, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this info, will do. I have now added a COI declaration on my User page. THEFLOWERSHOP (talk) 20:20, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great! If you ever have questions or need help, you can ask at the Teahouse. S0091 (talk) 20:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again! THEFLOWERSHOP (talk) 20:26, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: The New Brunswick Book Awards (April 12)[edit]

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The footnotes are not reliable source coverage about the awards. Two are primary sources that are not support for notability, two are blogs that are not support for notability, and the only one that's a reliable source is not about these awards, but about one winner of them, which is not what we need to see.

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:The New Brunswick Book Awards 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.
