Please do not resubmit without addressing the problems signaled in the previous review. Your draft will simply be rejected again and all this is a waste of time.

Your draft article, Draft:Steven A. Safren[edit]

Hello, Umhpac. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Steven A. Safren".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. 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. ✗plicit 23:35, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

January 2024[edit]

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, Umhpac, does not comply with Wikipedia's username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy, which is summarized here.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If your username is not in violation of Wikipedia's username policy, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page here: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Thank you. UtherSRG (talk) 15:19, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Original username violated policy, looking to update to something else. Umhpac (talk) 19:39, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

That implies this is a shared account or a "role" account, and would not be appropriate. Please see the requirements at WP:USERNAME. Yamla (talk) 20:36, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, KrakenMan. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Steven A. Safren, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. UtherSRG (talk) 11:52, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Steven Safren (February 1)[edit]

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

This submission seems to be a test edit and not an article worthy of an encyclopedia. Please use the sandbox for any editing tests, but do not submit for review until you have an article that you want reviewed for inclusion in Wikipedia. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

great start to an article, but you have a lot of errors in your wiki syntax, I believe the big box at the beginning of the article is the attempt at an WP:INFOBOX. Take a look at replacing the table with the template {{infobox person}} or {{infobox academic}}. You also have paragraphs set to appear as code. Review Help:Wikitext for more info. Also, take a look at WP:REFB for help in formatting your references so they appear in the style with proper names of websites, titles, and authors.

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:Steven Safren and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
