Your submission at Articles for creation: Mark Andrew Goodway (June 24)

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

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.

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:Mark Andrew Goodway 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, Mark180378! 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! KylieTastic (talk) 10:42, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Mark180378, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.

As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to or change it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

The five pillars of Wikipedia
Contributing to Wikipedia
Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Simplified Manual of Style
Guidance for article subjects

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mark Andrew Goodway (November 1)

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

If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The article does not yet show notability through significant coverage. While one would think that would be possible for someone with an MBE. It does not yet appear to be the case here.

Your user page

You submitted your userpage User:Mark180378 as an article draft. I've reverted the submission. Your userpage is like your personal Wikipedia 'home page' where you can tell others about your Wikipedia career, plans, etc. It is not intended to be published in the encyclopaedia. In any case, you already have this content in a pending draft at Draft:Mark Goodway MBE, and should not be submitting duplicates as that causes all sorts of problems. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:45, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mark Goodway MBE (June 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 Chippla360 were:

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 passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet 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.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

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.

June 2025

Hello, I'm Theroadislong. An edit that you recently made to Draft:Mark Goodway MBE seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and output must be carefully checked. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to review and comment on my submission. Substantial improvements have now been made, and can I politely invite you to take a second look please. Mark180378 (talk) 17:07, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

as previously advised, reviewing is not possible because of your malformed AI generated templates. WP:TNT is required and STOP using AI. Theroadislong (talk) 17:22, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mark180378 I've re-added the previous decline notices for a second time. Do not remove them. I have also added the button to allow you to submit the draft for review: your AI-generated code created malformed code. Do not submit it for review yet, it is in nowhere near enough of a state to be accepted and would be immediately declined.

Please carefully read our referencing tutorial at WP:INTREFVE. Do not use AI to generate your draft. qcne (talk) 19:00, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thank you so much for this. I only used AI because I've struggled to do this before and find the techical process unbelivably difficult to adhere to. Please do not discount, that this is a significant innivative social change story that needs to be told. Mark180378 (talk) 19:12, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Writing an article on Wikipedia is really difficult, and it's especially difficult if you are writing about yourself. We highly discourage that.

For there to be any hope for your draft you need to carefully read our policy Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons and then gather sources (NOT USING AI!) that meet our criteria.

It's also worth nothing that what you are describing as "this is a significant innivative social change story that needs to be told" is promotion and not the purpose of Wikipedia. Promotion is prohibited. Your account will be blocked if the only reason you are here is to promote yourself and your organisation. qcne (talk) 19:16, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking the time to provide detailed feedback — I sincerely appreciate your clarity and guidance. I now realise that this is a much more complex process than I anticipated, especially with a conflict of interest. I’ll refrain from further submissions and instead seek assistance from independent editors at the Teahouse or Help Desk to ensure everything aligns with Wikipedia’s policies and expectations. Many thanks again for your time. Mark180378 (talk) 08:44, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One last thing, @Mark180378, be very wary of anyone contacting you offering to write an article for payment. This is a scam. More information at WP:SCAM. qcne (talk) 10:47, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.
