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

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:Correns Corporation 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.

Hello, Merged account! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:02, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Merged account. 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 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:Merged account. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Merged account|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. Theroadislong (talk) 14:21, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Theroadislong, thank you for your help and clarification. And please excuse me for my late reply due to other assignments.

First of all: I am not directly or indirectly compensated for my edits for the particular article you are referring to. I have also no family relationship to the employees or the shareholders.

However, due to coincidence, some of my family members and me have an overlap regarding prefererred living locations and experience of trade industry with the founder (Without ever getting in contact with each other). I believe this does not create a conflict of interest in terms of financial motivation, but is, so to say, not 100% unbiased. I kindly ask you to accept as a minor topic, since risk reduction is existing with the independent proof reading of articles before publishing.

I will wait now to edit further on my current draft. Regardless if you give me red or green light to go ahead, please let me know if the request not to continue to edit is "only" related to the current draft, or also for creation/editing of different existing or new articles.

Hello Theroadislong,

after reading your last message again, I conclude that I can go ahead without waiting for your green light, since I have answered your last message. If my understanding is wrong, please accept my apologies and help me to sit straight again. Merged account (talk) 06:04, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Johannes,

thank you very much for your support and feedback. In the meantime, I have revised some wordings and expression with the purpose to improve the readers experience.
