Hello, I'm Aviram7. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Teddy Riley have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia.

Thanks for the feedback. It's my first attempt, so it's appreciated. I will make the updates and resubmit soon. Can you elaborate on the archiving? What do I need to archive? Qc978 (talk) 17:33, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assessing a few reviews. I also cannot understand the archiving comment

May I suggest you read WP:MOS and HELP:YFA, and add section headings. I'll leave some feedback on the draft 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:26, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Trybus Group (September 8)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Too much of this is sourced to the company itself, or to obituaries that look as if they were supplied by family members rather than by the websites that host them.

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:Trybus Group and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Thank you, I don't know the family, but I pulled the obituaries from Google. I will continue working on the article and appreciate the feedback very much. Qc978 (talk) 14:33, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Trybus Group (September 21)

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

You have a basic misunderstanding of referencing. I am not going to repeat my comment of 3 September, bit you have not acted upon it.

What you have are:

Primary Sources
Churnalism
A pair of memorials for the founders

You need references about the company not written by the company

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. 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 Draft:Trybus Group and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

September 2023

Hello Qc978. 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:Qc978. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Qc978|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. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 22:23, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am a stay at home wife and mother. Not sure what type of documentation is available for that. I just simply wanted to try my hand at doing a Wikipedia article. I have noticed that a lot of things that are allowed on the approved Citi Trends article have not been allowed for the article I am working on. Not sure why I am being targeted by you, but it is gross. I work on the article in between my toddlers naps and other duties I have, so I don't know why I am being rushed to make changes. I made a few changes yesterday and go in and out of the article as I am able to, which is not every day. No one is paying me to do an article for this company. This company opens their warehouse every year to sell their expensive clothes to our community and my husband has benefitted from that many times along with everyone else in the city, which is why I chose them to do an article on. They don't even know me or know that I am working on an article for them. But I am not sure why I'm being accused of being paid by them because I am not being paid by anyone. SMH. Certainly someone being paid to do Wikipedia articles would actually know the forum much better than someone like me who is just learning the ropes as I can.

You keep saying I can't use any of the articles that are written about the company, so I keep trying to dig and dig and dig and find old articles on the web and try and paraphrase the content. Then I find one and it's oh you can't add that to your article because the article is announcing something. Well most articles written about places is an announcement of something. Like geesh, the power trip is unreal. Where am I supposed to get the info from then? Literal journalists wrote articles on this company and the unpaid Wikipedia police say that those journalists and their websites are not credible. Then I add an article from the very reputable Dallas Morning News and now I'm being accused of working for the company. Well how about you google the company and see that that is public information on the web. An article written years ago and somehow I have fabricated something. I don't know who assigned my article to you, but I hope they can pass it to another more professional pretend editor who doesn't have a grudge with a site that says regular people can write articles about reputable businesses and topics. I can't use an content from their About Us page, but then I go on to JC Penney, and Citi Trends and Neiman Marcus pages, etc., and their articles are approved and there is a reference link that goes directly to their About Us pages, but there can't be one link to Trybus. Seems like some sort of bias. I have literally modeled my article based on the Citi Trends article, which barely has 150 words but that poorly written article is approved and up.
