Your submission at Articles for creation: Peter Bacchus (September 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by S0091 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 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.

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:

In addition to the above, many of the sources make no mention of Bacchus so are useless and others are routine announcements/press releases, not to mention much of content is unsourced. You may find Your first article helpful.

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 Draft:Peter Bacchus 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.

November 2024

Hello Matthew Lampard. 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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 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 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:Matthew Lampard. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Matthew Lampard|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. Please also tell who "we" is. 331dot (talk) 14:41, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 331 Dot,

This is correct, sorry for the mistake. This account is being used by an employees of Bacchus Capital Advisers, a company set up by Peter Bacchus and other founders, to create a wikipedia page on Peter Bacchus. I have inserted the disclaimer provided. There is no direct financial compensation for writing the wikipedia page beyond general salary as an employee.

Thank you,

Ben Matthew Lampard (talk) 15:13, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Your salary as an employee is sufficient to require disclosure(it doesnt require specific payment for edits), which ~~appears to have been done for you~~ you did and someone fixed.

I would suggest that you read WP:BOSS and have Mr. Bacchus/your superiors read it too. 331dot (talk) 15:17, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 331 Dot,

That is helpful thank you. Mr Bacchus is covered in a lot of independent news articles, so we feel comfortable that there can be a wikipedia page on him. Can the latest draft be reviewed?

Thank you,

Ben Matthew Lampard (talk) 15:32, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need to click the "resubmit" button on the draft to place it back in the review queue. (it's at the bottom of the decline message) 331dot (talk) 15:36, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
