Happy editing! DoubleGrazing ( talk) 17:11, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I've noticed that you're creating articles on scientists in Wales. Can I ask, why do you submit them for AfC review, if you're then going to immediately move them to the main article space anyway? Not that that's a huge problem, necessarily (other than leaving it for someone else to remove the AfC tags), just wanted to check if there's some misunderstanding somewhere that I might be able to clear up? Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 17:14, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello, JRB147MK. Thank you for your work on Kirsti Bohata. User:DreamRimmer, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Great job! LinkedIn is considered a self-published source, so I recommend replacing it with a secondary, more reliable source.

Hello JRB147MK. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the
Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at
User:JRB147MK. The template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JRB147MK|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message.

"Interns are considered employees for this purpose. If they are directed or expected to edit Wikipedia as part of an internship, they must disclose."(Whether your position is officially designated as an internship or not, it very much sounds to me like that's what it is in reality.) Please make the necessary disclosure now.

Hello, JRB147MK!
Having an article draft 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!

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's
mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the
Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at
User:JRB147MK, and the template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JRB147MK|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia.
