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:MDrap00, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MDrap00|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 16:42, 3 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello,
Apologies for not responding, I did not see the message. This article is being written as part of an academic course where we are trying to write women into the Architectural canon. Could you please direct me to the appropriate changes that will get my article approved? I understand that the tone needs to be adjusted to provide a NPOV.
Thank you. MDrap00 (talk) 16:47, 3 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi there, MDrap00. It would be useful if you created a user page where you could explain your interest in Wikipedia and your involvement in an academic course. You might also like to be come a member of WikiProject Women in Red where we are trying to chip away at the gender gap. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:40, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to NotYourPrincess. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 21:52, 3 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi Arjayay,
