Please help me with... I've followed the new article wizard and am still having difficulty getting photos to be accepted. They keep getting rejected. Also, I don't know how to get the sidebar information on the right shoulder. It is on some many pages and I can't figure out how to create it on this entry.

I'll be submitting this soon for approval and any additional comments would be helpful.

thanks in advance. Here's the link:

I've converted your link to a standard internal Wikipedia link, the whole URL is not necessary. Only accounts that are four days old and have at least 10 edits may upload images; neither of which is the case for you(yet). Images are also not necessary to get a draft approved; some images cannot be in drafts at all depending on the license. You don't need to worry about images until and unless your draft is accepted. 331dot (talk) 22:46, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:331dot - Thank you for the quick reply.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Peter M. Walzer (February 2)[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 Wgullyn was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Peter M. Walzer and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Peter M.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Garvincarter. 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:Peter M. Walzer, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:03, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your review and recommendations @DoubleGrazing.

Here is a brief reply to your concerns.

COI - I have on my profile that I take on research projects for pay. In this instance my client is an SEO and Marketing firm. I have no contact with the subject of this entry. I have no information if the subject has requested the page or if they are reimbursing who hired me. That is none of my business. It is not intuitive how to put the UPE on my page. I looked at the instructions and am still lost. Before taking the assignment I made it very clear I would not attempt the entry unless there were sufficient independent sources and sufficient notoriety. I was satisfied even though there are no major media puff pieces to cite. Not that there is any comparison for reasons an entry is acceptable, but this subject is of greater stature than many attorney entries on wikipedia. I saw one entry of a comparable attorney in this subjects market. The entry had one citation and that was an obituary (hardly objective and fact checked). My point is that it seems that there is sufficient proof to this subject's viability - the rest is finding a path. Hopefully your assistance will bring this closer. Final thought on COI. I do not promise a wiki entry will be published. I get paid for the research and content only. If it is accepted that is wonderful. If not - I've still fulfilled my obligation.

Ref-Bombing - This probably is related to the number of media links to the section on Media Legal Expert. The subject has been called upon by a wide range of media companies and commented on a variety of celebrities and legal issues. If the enumeration the instances is too much then my next suggestion would be to list the range of celebrities and legal topics with links to a handful of networks. Please let me know if this is sufficient.

Content without citation - every statement made is supported by linked citations. These citations may have been left to the end of sentences and paragraphs instead of mid sentence, but there is nothing stated that is left without support. If there is it can be removed.

Further reading - This section was suggested to me from the first draft. It can be removed. I thought if it as a bibliography and only included it because it was found in my research. I'm not afraid of killing my darlings as they say in writers circles.

If I have missed anything, I'll gladly address it. Thank you again for your assistance in getting my first solo effort off the ground. It is much easier adding to an existing post that tacking one on your own.

The comment the reviewer left was:

While some statements have been refbombed, several paragraphs remain unreferenced.

This still reads like a promo/vanity piece, not an encyclopaedia entry.

Thank you. I don't know if you saw my responses. I've tried adding the connected contributor template to the Draft:Peter M. Walzer page. I have no way of knowing if it is formatted correctly, but I tried.

I'm editing the entry, removing the list of publications and simplifying the media links. That should cut 40 or so citations.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Stuart Walzer (July 6)[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 Clarityfiend 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

No substantial coverage of him in the media. A couple of passing mentions in The Dirty Thirty ABA journal article and an obituary in one newspaper aren't going to do it.

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.
