Writing for pay

See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure and conflict of interest policy. I believe you have failed to disclose payment in respect of the draft article you are working on. Guy (Help!) 22:58, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. How/where do I do that? For the record, I am a working journalist and adjunct college professor who has been writing about technical subjects like this for 30+ years, and I was retained to use these skills in drafting some pages. But of course they are no good unless they are published, so I will take whatever advice and action is needed to achieve that goal.

Your draft article, [[Draft:Dan Shugar]]

File:Information icon4.svg

Hello, Mary Bufe. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, "Dan Shugar".

In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:Dan Shugar|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}} or {{tlc|db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. —MRD2014 (talk) (contribs) 23:43, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

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:

{{divbox|blue|3=I'll note that not only is this still an advertisement, it was speedy deleted once before for the exact same things; therefore focusing with what the company would advertise about itself, such services and other company information is not how articles or notability work; focusing with actual in-depth third-party news will, and please no press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews or mere news about funding, partnerships or financing as these will not help.}} Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer.

Having trouble with a source in the InfoBox

I am having trouble with the source I've provided for the Infobox for the Canadian Solar article. I'm citing a source for the company's financial results. In the reference section, I get this message: Cite error: The named reference "Canadian Solar Full Year 2023 Earnings: In Line With Expectations" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page).

When I go in to edit the info box, this reference disappears in the reference section. I have read the Help page on this topic, searched around for solutions and tried multiple ways to fix the problem, but have not had any luck. Can someone please provide me some direction? Thank you very, very much. Mary Bufe (talk) 23:13, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Courtesy notice: {{tl|increase}} on [[Nextracker]]

Hi @Mary Bufe, copngratulations on having the draft accepted.

I'm leaving a quick note here, just letting you know here because I presume the following could be a quick fix. I've removed the {{tl|increase}} and similar templates from the infobox on Nextracker; their proper usage is described in {{slink|Template:Infobox company|Examples}}, the arrows should be included with the previous year's fiscal numbers. This is the most respectful to our readers and doesn't just show something colourful, but also gives real information as well.

In addition, it's best to use consistent notation throughout, so I've changed the figures that used billions to something with four figures in the millions. This is also described on the infobox documentation. There's no change here required on your part, just letting you know.

As always, let me know if you have any questions. Kindly, Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:54, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks so much for this information, Bobby. I have reviewed the template for Infoboxes and tried 10 different ways to get it to work. I appreciate your efforts here and will "copy and paste" them in the future. Happy Holidays. Mary Bufe (talk) 16:01, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

:Also, I had a heck of a time trying to get the source information from the Infobox into the footnotes for the article. It would work when I viewed it, but then show an error when I published it. I will study how this with done and will try to replicate it in the future. Thanks again. Mary Bufe (talk) 16:04, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

::Not a problem. Don't worry about formatting them as templates can get tricky very fast. If you'd like to make a new section in the talk page at Talk:Nextracker and just list them out, I can format them and put them in. Bobby Cohn (talk) 17:05, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

:::Oh my goodness.Thank you. I do plan to make further additions and updates to improve this article. But step one was to get the draft accepted. Mary Bufe (talk) 17:13, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

::::Excellent. Make sure to propose substantial changes using the {{tl|edit coi}} request template, that queue is normally watched quite closely. Alternatively you can use the WP:ERW which is an easier point-and-click interface. Thanks, Bobby Cohn (talk) 20:56, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

:::::Thank you for this great advice. I will follow it! Mary Bufe (talk) 14:18, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

:::::I have revised an article on Dan Shugar to include additional reliable sources (the reason given for its initial rejection). Before I resubmit it, could you please possibly take a look at it and see if you have any advice for me on how to improve it? Thanks. Can you access it? I'm not quite sure how to give you access if you cannot. Thank you for considering this request. Mary Bufe (talk) 17:23, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Your submission at [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation|Articles for creation]]: [[Draft:Dan Shugar|Dan Shugar]] (March 3)

File:AFC-Logo_Decline.svgYour recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gheus was:

{{divbox|gray|3=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.|}} The comment the reviewer left was:

{{divbox|blue|3=Probably the best in-depth article about him is [https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/21/tracking-the-sun-from-utility-planner-to-entrepreneur/ this] which you haven't cited at all.}} 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.

:Gheus, thank you for your feedback. I will review the source you provided and work it in to the article. FYI: I conversed at length with a Wikipedia editor before resubmitting this article. That editor gave me the impression that I had passed the "notability" standard with the addition of several of the articles. He/she suggested I needed at least three and preferably five reliable, independent sources. QUESTION: Isa adding content/sourcing from the additional article you cited above enough to pass the notability bar, in your estimation? Are you counting the book as a source? The book is not available online, but I have a pdf copy that I can send to provide further verification. Thanks again. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this task.

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Dan Shugar. Thanks! Greenman (talk) 08:06, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:Thanks for the feedback. I have a couple of questions. Based on a previous editor's suggestions, I have provided two to three sources for every statement in the article (or at least that is what I THOUGHT I had done.) In some cases, a paragraph has two sentences, and I provided sourcing at the end of the paragraph. Are you saying that I need to provide a source for each individual sentence? Second question: do I need sources in the infobox? I have worked on other articles and have not been told that before. (I really just want to do this correctly!) Thanks.
