Welcome!

Hello, Bartacus1704, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Zero Point Frontiers Corp, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Zero Point Frontiers Corp edit

 

A tag has been placed on Zero Point Frontiers Corp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

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.

Your draft article, Draft:LessCancer.org edit

 

Hello, Bartacus1704. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "LessCancer.org".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:LessCancer.org}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 12:33, 13 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of Interest, Next Generation Choices Foundation, and welcome! edit

Hi Bart,

First and foremost, welcome to the Wikipedia community. I've noticed that you wrote Next Generation Choices Foundation and added Next Generation Choices Foundation-related statements on several pages. If you are receiving compensation for your on-wiki work, you must disclose your employer and the nature of the affiliation on your user page, on the talk page for any page on which you made paid contributions, or in the edit summary of the edits for which you were paid. For Wikipedia's full guideline on paid contributions, see Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Failure to disclose paid contributions may result in a block from the Wikipedia community.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on this page, or on talk page. Seattle (talk) 01:51, 3 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

My paid Next Generation Choices affiliation has been part of my profile page for at least a year.

Your recent edits edit

Hi Bartacus1704. I work on issues of advocacy, paid editing, and conflict of interest here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing.

You disclosed here last year, that you are a paid editor on behalf of Next Generation Choices Foundation, and you have disclosed at that article and at Bill Couzens.

Three things.

  1. Would you please clarify if Ronald B. Herberman, Margaret I. Cuomo, SciStarter and Darlene Cavalier were also paid work? Any others?

The Herberman and Cuomo articles were paid work, the Cavalier work was not. /bl

  1. Also you seem to understand that you should disclose, which is oblitatory under the ToU and PAID policy, but you have been editing directly on behalf of your clients. However, the COI guideline says that directly editing on behalf of clients (or where an editor has any COI) is strongly discouraged (emphasis in the original). Instead, we ask people to put edits through peer review prior to them being published. For existing articles, that means proposing content on the article Talk page, and for new articles, this means putting them through WP:AFC, in each case with disclosure. This is very analogous to standard academic publishing, where COI is disclosed when a paper is submitted, and it is peer reviewed with the COI in mind, before it publishes.

I will review your processes to better follow them in the future./b

  1. Your userpage is a bit of an oddity, in that you talk about yourself in the third person, like it is an article. Per WP:USERPAGE, userpages are not articles, but rather a place where we communicate to each other what we do here. I think it is great that you have a link to your external website there (some may view that as an advertisement, but i think paid editors should link their external WP advertising to their user profiles here, for a bunch of reasons), but it would be more.. appropriate if you changed the "he" to "I" and "his" to "my", etc.

Noted.

But the most important things are 1 and 2.. would you please reply on those?

I haven't looked at the content or the AfD yet, and will do once we are done going over this stuff. First things first! Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 18:26, 3 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
