I saw your note at "Articles for creation", and I thought I'd clarify what needs to happen for your article to be approved for the encyclopedia. Two editors have said "find sources" and "not enough proper references". User:RileyBugz also provided several good places to search for Reverend Peter Farmer. The intention is to follow two policies, providing reliable sources in order to establish notability. "if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability". If you don't pass notability, no article. I hope this helps, good luck with your article. Dougmcdonell ( talk) 01:59, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.

Α Guy into Books™ § ( Message) - 10:53, 20 September 2017 (UTC)Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Reverend Peter Farmer, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Sulfurboy ( talk) 04:23, 11 February 2020 (UTC)Please stop inserting an image into the
Dan Lam article that is against WP policies. The wishes of the subject of an article are irrelevant. The policy on main images is at
MOS:LEADIMAGE and says "Lead images should be natural and appropriate representations of the topic; they should not only illustrate the topic specifically, but also be the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works, and therefore what our readers will expect to see". Biography articles have portrait images of the subject. Also see
MOS:SHOCK which says "Lead images should be of least shock value". Also see
WP:OWN which says "Also, a person or an organization that is the subject of an article does not own the article, and has no right to dictate what the article may say."

In reverse order, while I do not own the article, I put the research and work into it, including listening to and transcribing the living subject's words from a detailed biographical interview over a year ago. You can listen to it if you like, but essentially it says that part of her process is the opportunity to view patrons as they examine her art without them necessarily knowing she is there. I can dig up the precise quote, but I think the onus should be on you to listen to the podcast in its entirety as I have, if you would like to determine the facts about a living subject prior to making changes to a wikipedia page with her name as its title. You may find you understand and agree with the reasons entirely. In short, however, the artist observes her patrons displaying various moods "between desire and disgust" and often wrestling with the idea of breaking rules to reach out and touch the pieces. This observation helps the artist's work. You quote "biographical articles have portrait images of the subject," but this is a portrait of her holding up her work. It appears to be taken by a professional, was published in an article, and although someone twice tried to take it down for rights reasons, it has been made available as public domain. Only after I pointed this out (twice), did anyone object that the subject's face was not visible. But there is a reason, now repeatedly explained and not refuted, for this, and wikipedia has clear policies about taking care when dealing with living subjects. That overriding concern is clearly more important than lesser, minor issues. This is a portrait of the subject, but it respects her publicly stated wishes to not have her face widely publicized, as wikipedia would do. The photo is natural and appropriate, represents her and the topic only (the artist and a piece of her work in her hands), and nothing else, has no shock value, and is the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works. I may not own the page, but I've done the work, and I do not understand why, after explaining the decision for the reasons above, any editor in good standing would persist in overriding the original page researcher without engaging in discussion and, if necessary, seeking arbitration from other editors, first. Thank you for your time and work, I respect it, as I hope you respect mine.

On 28 March 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dan Lam, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that sculptor Dan Lam was born in a refugee camp in Morong, Philippines? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dan Lam. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Dan Lam), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello WriteIncunabula. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Manny Bamfo, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.
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:WriteIncunabula. The template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=WriteIncunabula|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. Tagging on at the end of a long userpage post that you're a paid editor is not proper disclosure.

Is there an appeals process? I believe this article exceeds Wikipedia’s notability guidelines substantially, both in terms of coverage, and quality of sources, especially compared with many other existing articles. I think there may be bias against disclosed paid work, in effect punishing the company for attempting to seek a legitimate entry for their founder the ethical way, whereas so many others, including competitors, get their pages up the wrong way. As the writer, I’ve already been paid for my time, non-refundable, and the client agreed in advance I would not guarantee publication nor go around the editorial process. So the latest additional work and any appeal is on my time. Objectively, this article meets and exceeds notability standards. Thank you. WriteIncunabula ( talk) 06:55, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
An article you recently created,
Manny Bamfo, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
