Welcome!
editHello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Comment about your draft question
editI saw the comment you made at WP:AN and while that's not the right venue for those types of questions, I did want to answer your question as best as I could. When you're ready to submit the draft, you can add {{subst:submit}} to the top of the article so that reviewers can know that it's ready for review. However, I did take a look at Draft:AJOT and let you know that in its current state it would be rejected. This is because it doesn't have any independent sources showing notability. Article's on Wikipedia need to show that they are notable subjects by having, at minumum, significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This can be shown by adding third-party sources to the article that go into some level of detail about the article's subject. If the topic is notable I would suggest compiling a few third-party sources (sources that have no affiliation with the subject) and adding them to the draft before submitting it. That way the reviewers don't fail it for lack of third-party sources. If you have any other questions you are more than welcome to respond here (I'll keep an eye on your talk page), or you can leave a message on my talk page or if you'd like to discuss with other people, you can use the Teahouse, which is the perfect place for new editors to ask questions. - Aoidh (talk) 09:13, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- This was helpful. I'll make the necessary changes. Thank you AssetValue (talk) 15:40, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
Your submission at Articles for creation: AJOT (September 27)
edit- If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:AJOT and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
- If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
- If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, 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.
Hello, AssetValue!
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! McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 01:17, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Your username
editWelcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "AssetValue", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 09:30, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

editHello JJmanfield888. 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:JJmanfield888. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JJmanfield888|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. 331dot (talk) 10:37, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi 331dot,
- Thanks for reaching out to me regarding these concerns you have. I have viewed the terms and conditions and wiki’s policies regarding this issue and I can confirm that i am under no paid commission, contractual obligation or under any compensation by AJOT to specifically write/edit or create a WIKI AJOT article on their behalf. I do not possess any financial stake in the trust fund (nor am i employed by them) whether it be direct or indirect investing into their fund or such other and as such I carry no biased, non-neutral messaging. This writing venture is purely of my own interest, being my very first article and not being a copywriter or editor by profession, i thought to do good by challenging myself in providing a subject that has reliable credibility & sources with little presence on this platform and is otherwise useful to others who would be searching the wide web for more trusted, non-biased information about this trust fund’s history and services.
- On another note, as this is my first article and i myself am a newcomer with limited editing experience. I would very much welcome others, more established and experienced editors/content writers etc.., to willingly edit and collectively work on this article with me to make it an official Wiki published page! So, If you’d be kind enough to recommend someone or share this article with someone who has a common interest in finance and investing, to help contribute to this article, I’d be deeply appreciative of this. Thanks. JJmanfield888 (talk) 12:14, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- You wrote in your draft that AJOT is affiliated with Asset Value Investors and your username was initially AssetValue. You do not have to be specifically paid to make edits or asked to edit to be a paid editor. Any paid relationship triggers the disclosure requirement. 331dot (talk) 12:28, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- I'm willing to help you with the draft- but as Wikipedia is written for lay people, and summarizes independent reliable sources, expertise in a field is not required to edit about it. 331dot (talk) 12:45, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- I see what you mean, that is just me having a lazy imagination after a few rounds of already taken usernames. I already knew what i wanted to write about when i signed up so assumed to role with it. Also, if you’d be willing to assist, then that’ll be awesome! I’m not great at the writing part but i have put together a few sources to collect the relevant information. If you could shape it appropriately so that it meets the submissions for approval, that’ll be perfect. Does this sound doable? JJmanfield888 (talk) 09:22, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
- What I mean is that I can give you advice about it; I do not have the time as a volunteer participant here to write about it myself. I'd first suggest you read Referencing for Beginners to learn how to format references. Please note that the main purpose of a Wikipedia article about an organization is to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. "Significant coverage" goes beyone the mere reporting of the activities of the organization or what it considers to be its own history, and goes into detail about its influence or significance as the sources sees it(not as the organization itself sees it). Press releases, staff interviews, announcements of routine business activities, brief mentions, or other primary sources do not establish notability. Please read Your First Article.
- So, just for the record, you are not employed by Asset Value Invetors or AJOT or have any association with them whatsoever? 331dot (talk) 09:33, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

editThanks for contributing to the article AVI Global Trust. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 11:52, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
