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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Still basically his own advertised job listing and this is currently unacceptable, there's no inherited notability from anything or anyone else and so you will have to focus with adding and focusing with only the in-depth third-party news, and please not press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews or other company-influenced triviality.

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

Hello Laura bachrach. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Laura bachrach. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Laura bachrach|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Template:Z159 SpitfireTally-ho! 03:14, 21 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I do not work for the company nor do I have any financial stake in anything. I did not know that I was not allowed the edit the article that I started. Please let me know next steps. Thank you. (Laura bachrach (talk) 03:31, 21 December 2017 (UTC)).Reply

Hi Laura, I found the website of a "Laura Bachrach" who works as a PR manager, and mentions on her website that she creates wikipedia articles for clients, I assumed that this was you. This especially seems likely since most your article submissions are for companies or individuals who require PR management.
If you are creating Wikipedia articles as part of your PR management role, this is completely fine and you can continue, but first you must disclose this on your userpage following the instructions above. Failure to do so could result in you being blocked and bringing your company and clients into disrepute.
However, if as you say, you are not a PR manager and are just editing for the joy of it, then that's great! That is completely fine and you can continue to edit as normal.
Any other questions please let me know!
Cheers, SpitfireTally-ho! 03:44, 21 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
