Re Re Stephen Maitland-Lewis
Hi Booklover213,

You wrote at User_talk:SmokeyJoe: Per your comments re: “no substantial improvement” and “no independent coverage”, please note that the current draft re-submission reflects a newly revised Reference section with published, reliable articles and sources including the NY Journal of Books, Kirkus Book Review, Historical Novel Society, Midwest Book Review (all four of which have their own Wikipedia pages) and links to numerous newspaper articles in New York, California and Louisiana. In addition, in the revised draft, there are many newly provided book reviews and links to interviews with Mr. Maitland-Lewis from various print publications and from the NPR radio stations in New Orleans, LA and San Bernardino, CA. Thank you.

They need to be independent, in a reliable publication, and make direct comment on the subject. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:34, 19 July 2018 (UTC)" --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:51, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Hello Booklover213. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Stephen Maitland-Lewis, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, 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:Booklover213. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. 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, please do not edit further until you answer this message.

 * Stephen Maitland-Lewis is not sufficiently notable for a Wikipedia article. If you are interested in Stephen Maitland-Lewis, then you are probably interested in Louis Armstrong House.  Why don't you see if you can improve that article?  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:12, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
