User talk:AnnetteHemingway

Welcome!
Hello, AnnetteHemingway, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

 * Hello Jimfbleak. Sorry, I'm afraid I do not understand your message. What conflict of interest could I have? I followed all the Wikipedia guidelines, and fact-checked all the information, featured artists and quotes against physical archive issues of the magazine, and I have also consulted with newsstands, as well as contrasted all the sources online.

I see that you have recreated your promo without waiting for my reply, if you do that again, I will block you.

You said "What conflict of interest could I have?". Well, you claimed on Commons that you took the cover picture for the magazine, presumably for payment. Even if you were not being truthful with that, you have now had two attempts to promote the publication, writing text that largely has no sources other than yourself.

You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, 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:AnnetteHemingway. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:   . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. Also read the following regarding writing an article:
 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
 * Much of your text was unsourced, and of your three refs, one didn't mention the mag, and the other two were just picture galleries
 * I can't see anything to suggest that your publication meets any of the notability criteria linked above.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * Unsourced claims presented as facts include distributed internationally... to cover the subject as extensively as possible... to grace its cover... Since its inception in 2018, Number One Journal has attracted a niche community of magazine collectors, art curators and film industry reps...  You also bold every mention of the title and Domino, and your text is basically just a list of famous people featured. The fact that they are famous doesn't make your mag notable.


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources.

If you have a conflict of interest, you must disclose the nature of that COI.

 * Hello Jim,
 * Sorry, I'm still learning the functionality of the site. I'm confused by the first line on your message:
 * "I see that you have recreated your promo without waiting for my reply"
 * How did I do that? Because I only tried to view the article, to see if it was rejected and/or deleted. And then I just tried to write to you. I do realize I wrote you in two different places. As I said, I'm still learning the functionality of the back-end of the site. Sorry about that.
 * As you seem to think that I work for this magazine, I will explain how I came to create this article:
 * I'm a magazine collector, particularly of pop culture, art and independent fashion press. This is how I learned about Number One Journal for first time. As another collector shared this publication with me. This is where I learned about Olivia Dean. (The first article I edited for Wikipedia) And how I became interested in her work. Then I realized her wikipedia profile did not include any mention about her Music Video filmmography, so I completed that, with a quote from the Number One Journal article where I first learned about her determination to only work with female directors for her music videos.
 * At the time, I just linked the magazine's site, as a reference for the quote. As Olivia Dean's interview was hosted there.
 * Then I started to research this magazine, because I could only borrow an archive copy once. Then I finally got my hands on their first issue through a different collector that agreed to sell it to me. And then I got in contact with their distribution house in Paris, in order to learn more and enquire about other issues. Thanks to that, I was able to track down the remaining copies and access the rest of the content in their later issues.
 * In the magazine collector community is quite rare to find a magazine with current A-list talent where the author or team are not listed. So I started to ask around to my network of newsstands in different cities. Paris, New York, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Los Angeles... and I got in contact with more local collectors, and some magazine re-sellers.
 * I got to talk with some of their one-time contributors too (only two photographers I could find in Los Angeles) and they told me about what the talk about this magazine in the inner circles of the industry was. Of course, it was what other collectors in Paris told me about this magazine that initially peaked my interest. Because other than that, this magazine was virtually unknown.
 * So once I had enough information I realized that I could create the page with the information I got at this time, and so that's what I did.
 * I apologize if I may have messed some things up in this article, as I am not a writer by trade.
 * About the picture. I am quite confused about the functioning of that feature of the site. I gathered the image from Google. And I just followed the same template as in other Wikipedia articles. So please do let me know if there's a way to upload an image to the article, where I am not the owner or creator of said image.
 * Thank you for your time, and please excuse the misunderstanding. AnnetteHemingway (talk) 18:24, 19 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I've only just seen the message above, if you leave a message on this page, I will know you have done so if you start it with my username, User:Jimfbleak and sign it with four tildes ~ when you post it. That will send me an alert.


 * First, an apology. The first line of my reply was an error on my part, I misread something, and I now see you didn't recreate.


 * Thank you for clarifying that you are not a paid editor


 * You can only post images that are not your own under a fair-use claim only on the page they relate to, not Commons, see Elle (magazine) and File:Elle Magazine 2020.jpg


 * If you try again, you could do worse than use the Elle page as a guide. The main things are to concentrate on real facts, not opinions, and to ensure that what you claim has proper references as described above Jimfbleak - <i style="font-family:arial;color:green">talk to me?</i> 13:45, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks Jim,
 * I will revise the article and correct the mistakes.
 * Best! AnnetteHemingway (talk) 10:22, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
