User talk:Tiffany.ngan

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Don A. Moore, which 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:

Thank you for your feedback! I just want to clarify the conflict of interest procedures; I am not specifically being paid to contribute to this Wikipedia draft. I am a research assistant being paid and this is one of my jobs, but if that counts as a conflict then I can disclose that information on the page if needed. Let me know! Tiffany.ngan (talk) 18:51, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The conflict-of-interest policy is written rather broadly, so, yes, your situation is one that requires disclosure. Fortunately, you can write a statement in your own words, similar to what you've written here, put it on your user page (which you still have to create), and that will almost certainly be deemed sufficient. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:06, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple accounts

Hello, Tiffany.ngan, 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 Kargar1234 (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. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:09, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Don A. Moore (June 19)

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

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This page appears to have been written to praise its subject rather than to describe the subject neutrally. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view.

If this draft is resubmitted without being reworked, it may be nominated for deletion. You may ask for advice about the tone of articles at the Teahouse.

Does the author of this draft have any sort of financial or other connection with the subject of this draft? Please read the conflict of interest policy and the paid editing policy and make any required declarations.

You may ask for advice about conflict of interest at the Teahouse.

If this draft is resubmitted without addressing the question about conflict of interest, it may be Rejected or nominated for deletion.

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:Don A. Moore 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:Don A. Moore, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

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 would like some further clarification on writing in a neutral tone; I don't see anything particularly not neutral about the way the article is worded so I would like some guidance as to how to edit it appropriately! Tiffany.ngan (talk) 19:39, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing that it was seen as promotional in the sense that it has, in Wikipedia's voice, pointed to a bunch of Moore's work without explaining anything about why it is significant, as noted by an independent reporter. You're trying to assemble evidence of notability and we humble Wikipedia editors cannot do that through our own research.

Also note that the Biography and Education sections do not include the required in-line citations to sources for the information contained in them. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:43, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Tiffany.ngan! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 18:52, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
