Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:44, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Uganda because it did not appear constructive.

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (August 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

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 people). 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.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Marc1705/sandbox 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.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please attend to other matters, too. Is here family name Babalanda or Peace? The first mention should be her full name, followed only by the use of the family name with no honorifics

I see you have declared that the picture is your own work. Please consider that you may have a WP:COI and make the relevant declaration if so. I will ask you this on your user talk page, and you should respond there. Until then I will flag this as a COI article. If yo do not have one you may remove it

Please remove the paragraph which appears to be a list of stuff

Hello Timtrent. First of all i thank you for the guidance on this article. Her family name is Babalanda....i will also remove the hnorifics. The photo used is not my work and i apologize for the mistake. i hope changing ownership to credit the creator resolves that. I will also remove that paragraph (list of stuff).

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Marc1705. 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:44, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I now understand there is no COI, certainly over the photograph in Draft:Joan Peace Babalanda currently. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 23:44, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Joan Peace Babalanda (August 26)

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

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

File:Joan Peace Babalanda.JPG listed for discussion

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Joan Peace Babalanda.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 07:51, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm disappointed that you have uploaded this picture here after its deletion on Commons. All you had to do on commons, and all you have to do here is to provide proof that you have the right to upload it to the volunteer response team. You have even concealed the source of the picture (declared on Commons, albeit imperfectly) here.

Please be open and straightforward in your actions here.

You either have the right to upload this picture or you do not. The statement on the draft about the source is wholly insufficient. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 08:25, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
