Hello, Jumpcutter! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Hello, Jumpcutter. 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:Steven Wendelin, 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 article subjects 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 {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• 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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:45, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jumpcutter. I added the above information based upon what you posted at Wikipedia:Teahouse#Political Candidate Article. Please take the time to review the pages linked to in blue above because they contain information that you might find helpful. Please understand that the above template wasn't added because you've done anything improper; the information on those pages might, however, help you avoid problems because there might be some things you're not aware of when it comes to Wikipedia.

In addition, you might also want to take a look at Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia:Ownership of content and Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing since you might find those pages helpful as well. Wikipedia articles are written about subjects, not for subjects; moreover, all article content (positive or negative) will be assessed in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines, not whether it's something the subject wants. If an article does end up being created about the subject, neither they nor anyone associated with them will have any final editorial control over what's written or be able to prevent others from editing the article. Furthermore, the article won't be able to used to promote the subject of the article or as a way to let others know about their posistions; in fact, the subject and those connected to the subject will be highly discouraged from even directly editing the article, except under certain conditions.

Finally, you posted at the Teahouse that it seemed in the public interest for our candidate to have one as well, but that's (to be blunt) not in any way a concern of Wikipedia. So, please explain this things to subject of the article; you might even want to ask them to read WP:BOSS. If the subject decides Wikipedia is not going to allow them to do the things they want to do, you should probably request that the draft you started be speedily deleted per WP:G7 and perhaps look for some WP:ALTERNATIVE which might be suited for the subject's needs, -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:06, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
