Your submission at Articles for creation: Center for Energy Investment and Innovation (September 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Numberguy6 was:

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:Center for Energy Investment and Innovation 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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Amalgoni. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, clients, 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. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:34, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Oluwaseun Sesi Whingan (July 7)

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

It's not clear to me that the subject passes NPOL or GNG. Nigerian sources are difficult for me to weigh. The informal, promotional tone is really a problem.

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:Oluwaseun Sesi Whingan and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Chris Troutman (talk) 01:49, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you declined my page, i warmly understand, however, you should understand that my article is clearly promotional-free. In this case, because you don't understand Nigerian references dosent mean you should be immediate to disregard. I spent 2 days doing research, editing and committing. Moreso, the subject is duely qualified, with backup references to which i have referenced. The funny thing is that, you guys only review nonsensical articles which dosent deem fit. With my Other wikipedia account before i migrated here, i and the team at some point are appointed by the National Security Adviser Himself to create a digital presence. We worked on the wikipedia, with valueble references. But a random reviewer like you just trashed the work, claiming it to be pointless. I think its basically getting to a limit of racism and not education bro. I cited atleast 20 references in my recent work and you trashed it, claiming Nigerian references are Ambigous to you, GND and stuffs?? No vulgar, i should have said my mind.

Wikipedia shouldn't be easy to access i understand, but not with legit access. You guys are really making it tough. Please be considerate Amalgoni (talk) 02:13, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Zero changes since last decline, and a clear COI. That is disruptive and will lead to you losing access to submit it.

Paid editing

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 07:04, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with this comment. You claimed the image of Mr. Whingan ‎as your own personal work, but the image is professionally taken. You must disclose your connection now, this should be your next edit. 331dot (talk) 08:08, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And on my talk page you say "The subject which this page is referenced to, is of high level, a Nigerian incumbent congressman recently elected!. I and my team has made a lot of research and made relevant edits and commits" Wikipedia accounts cannot be shared. Theroadislong (talk) 08:14, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will make swift edit asap, indeed mr whingan is of high image, however, the image is captured by my press team and in terms of copyrights, i have full previleges. However, to conform with the community's standard, i will make reforms and resumbmit, thanks for the advise. Amalgoni (talk) 01:05, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

again, my account is not shared, i am the sole editor, however, kindly understand that i have a research team, but not with access to my wikipedia account. Thanks! Amalgoni (talk) 01:10, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Theroadislong, regarding been a paid actor, i am not, i am a volunteer who took to the cause recently to make the community a better place, i am getting accustomed to this place over time and i am not paid.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.

This may no longer matter, given the block, but my cutting of content were attempts to remove duplication of content and promotional phrasing. I have no opinion one way or the other as to whther the draft establisehd notability. David notMD (talk) 12:54, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request to Unblock

Dear 331dot, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to sincerely apologize for the disruptive edits I made on Wikipedia, which led to my recent block. After carefully reviewing my activities, I now understand why my actions were considered disruptive to the community. I want to assure you that my intentions were never to cause harm or create disturbances. As a beginner who is just getting to know the platform, I made the mistake of not fully grasping the guidelines and policies of Wikipedia. I genuinely believed that my contributions were valuable, but I now recognize the impact they had on the community. I want to emphasize that the article that resulted in my block was not paid or compensated in any way. Nobody paid me for my edits, and I was purely volunteering my time and effort. I had no ulterior motives or financial gain from my actions. I deeply regret any inconvenience and frustration caused by my disruptive behavior. I understand the importance of maintaining the quality and integrity of Wikipedia, and I am committed to improving as an editor. If given the opportunity, I will make every effort to contribute in a meaningful and valuable way to the community. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I appreciate your dedication to upholding the standards of Wikipedia and your role as an administrator. I apologize once again for any disruption caused, and I genuinely hope to be granted another chance to contribute positively to the platform.

I am not an Administrator. My understanding is that the block was not for the use of image - with its contested copyright question - but your neglect to make clear on your User page that while you had a conflict of interest, you were not an undeclared paid editor (UPE). I have no intention of editing the draft in the future. David notMD (talk) 03:36, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@David notMD what's the way forward now? Amalgoni (talk) 03:53, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you mean, and i also understood that the image was also a contributor to the block, while the promotional content is the major reason, i take full responsibility Amalgoni (talk) 04:15, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Someone else will review your request, but please explain how you hold the copyright to a professionally taken image(which still had a watermark) and have a press team if you are doing this for free. How are you acquainted with the subject? 331dot (talk) 22:06, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Allow me to explain the copyright situation regarding the professionally taken image in question. The image was captured by my team, and we possess the original, unwatermarked version. It was shared on the our statehouse portal and various .ng domains, which led to other websites copying and posting it. In Nigeria, there is a common perception that local practices do not consider such usage as copyright infringement and that's what led me to use it with the watermark, i never considered wikipedia's terms. While this may vary, it is crucial to acknowledge that global copyright standards exist and should be respected.

Additionally, I mentioned a press team named 'The Prominent Sons of the North,' which is founded by me and fully funded by the North East Development Commission. This association helps provide support and resources for our activities.

Regarding my connection to the subject, I have a mutual relationship with him. Our interaction allows me to have a deeper understanding of their work and perspectives, but now with wikipedia's policy. I have come to understand how the platform works and i highly apology for the disturbances caused by me.

In presenting this information, I aim to emphasize that while there may be differences in local practices, it is important to recognize the significance of international copyright standards. Respecting intellectual property rights ensures fairness and legality in the use of creative works.

I hope this explanation clarifies the situation and demonstrates my commitment to upholding ethical standards. Thank you for considering these points." Amalgoni (talk) 23:12, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
