Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Kazoosoundz. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
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 WP:Spam);
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. Giraffer ^{(talk·contribs)} 15:37, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Giraffer. Thank you for this message. I do have a personal (family) conflict of interest which I thought I disclosed upon creation of the draft, before I started writing. Did I not do that correctly? Very sorry.Can I correct it by pasting

Your submission at Articles for creation: Kazoo magazine (July 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Kazoo Magazine, which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This reads like a press release and should be cleaned up for tone.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Kazoo magazine and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Kazoo magazine, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Hi and thank you. I disclosed my personal relationship with Kazoo magazine above, (and I understand your concern about tone because I am probably too close to the subject to be totally objective), but I disagree about the subject having few secondary sources. Kazoo has extensive coverage in established national print, radio, and established websites:1)https://www.foliomag.com/kazoo-magazine-girls-think-bigger/ 2)https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/heidi-stevens/ct-kazoo-magazine-for-girls-balancing-0901-20160901-column.html 3)https://www.nhpr.org/post/bikinis-burkinis-acting-sick-kazoo-magazine#stream/0 4)https://www.realsimple.com/work-life/family/kids-parenting/kazoo-magazine 5)https://www.vogue.com/article/kazoo-magazine-erin-bried-editor-interview 6)https://geekdad.com/2017/08/raising-strong-girls-kazoo/ 7) https://www.scarymommy.com/kazoo-magazine-young-girls-kickstarter/ 8)https://www.comicsbeat.com/interview-kazoos-erin-bried-talks-noisemakers/ 9)https://msmagazine.com/2018/12/17/ms-qa-erin-bried-believes-girls-feminist-media/ 10)https://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20170217/SMALLBIZ/170219889/meet-the-publishing-veteran-who-crowdfunded-a-magazine-just-for-girls-on-science-sports-and-writing-instead-of-pr (I could keep going here) as well as a three time finalist and winner of the National Magazine Award (given by ASME -- the magazine industry organization. Plus names a "Best Gift of the Year" in the New York Times. So there are secondary sources not related to the subject. As to the other "Kazoo magazine" page, I don't know who created that and it only has the source of one designer (?) so these other sources could be included there.
