Your submission at Articles for creation: Sotik Massacre (June 30)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

This submission appears to be taken from https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/lifestyle/society/how-sotik-massacre-koitalel-area-to-white-settlers-3696378. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Draft:Sotik Massacre may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page. or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Clint Atahualpa! 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! - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 13:02, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sotik Town moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sotik Town, is not suitable 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. ~Styyx^Talk? 21:38, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

July 2022

Hello Clint Atahualpa. 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:Clint Atahualpa. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Clint Atahualpa|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. You say on your userpage that "I have began to take contracts on Upwork and write for a fee." However, note that you are required to disclose who is paying you and what articles they are paying you to work on. You are also required to ensure that everybody who you work with in your capacity as a paid editor is aware that you are being paid. — Bilorv (talk) 12:12, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bilorv. Thank you for the information. I am going to amend my userpage to reflect the actual nature of my edits. It is imperative to note however that as at the moment, most of my edits have been about my ethnicity, and related topics, all of which I have not benefited financially. I am yet to get any contracts yet on upwork but I will follow the procedures you have outlined once I do.

Regards. clint_atahualpa (talk) 12:33, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks for taking note of this. — Bilorv (talk) 09:14, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Raphael Kipchamba arap Tapotuk

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Raphael Kipchamba arap Tapotuk requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/rift-valley/article/2001440080/chepalungu-home-of-celebrated-kalenjin-music-stars. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The article is in its early stages, I can guarantee to polish it to be sufficient as a stub in a few hours. Bear with me clint_atahualpa (talk) 11:33, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the copyrighted text, and the article is no longer nominated for deletion. Please don't remove the revision deletion template. Thanks. Storchy (talk) 11:39, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Raphael Kipchamba arap Tapotuk, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Storchy (talk) 11:49, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Raphael Kipchamba arap Tapotuk, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please don't remove this template. It requests an administrator to remove the copyrighted text from the edit history. The article will not be deleted, but the copyrighted text is still in the article's edit history, and that needs to be removed. Please help me to help you.

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. stwalkerster (talk) 19:42, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your advice, I try to navigate between not conveying my personal views and not copying from source, word for word. It is imperative to note however that some articles am currently working on are of stub quality and I tend to populate the article at first then polish them later to meet the standards. Bear with me. clint_atahualpa (talk) 06:50, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
