User talk:EntCelebWriter

Welcome!
Hello, EntCelebWriter, 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations

 * 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
 * The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

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, visit the Teahouse, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

 * Hi Jimfbleak, the person I wrote about is notable in the entertainment arena. To be clear, there is not a conflict of interest at all because I don't know the subject and am unaffiliated with the article subject artist. I was surprised she did not have a wikipedia page, so I decided to write one based on content found in press articles, interviews, performances and verifiable information such as available music catalog and ads.
 * Did you even look at the sources? The article took me a while to ensure was properly formatted and I don't understand why you so quickly deleted the information. EntCelebWriter (talk) 22:45, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for declaring that you have no conflict of interest. That doesn't mean you can write what you like, you must follow the guidance below:


 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.


 * Quite a bit of your text was unsourced, but more of a problem is that most of your ref were unsuitable, including her own websites, sites hosting her music, interviews with her and junk sites like Music is my Radar. What we need is independent third-party sources, not her talking about herself. I don't know if you saw the reviewer's comment, "the reliability of these magazines are questionable. IMDb, iTunes, or YouTube cannot be used to source statements.


 * More of your refs were just reviews of her music. Notability, as linked above, doesn't depend on what people think of her work, and cherry-picked reviews just look promotional.
 * References are supposed to support what you have written. For example, you said "Trouble" remains one of Maya J's most successful singles to date as of February 2024, but the source isn't sales figures or chart placings, it's just her saying that! You said  Music fans and journalists soon began referring to her as a “rising star” shortly after. but your source doesn't say that either. You can't just write stuff and justy put random refs after it.
 * She is a full-time professional and a member of SAG-AFTRA, so she may well be notable, but we get no awards, chart placings, or how significant her film roles were.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.


 * unsourced or unreliably sourced claims include  Music fans and journalists soon began referring to her as a “rising star” shortly after.... After high school, she was accepted into and attended an acting conservatory... The music video for the record premiered on VEVO worldwide... including inside many trending young adult shopping destinations across North America & parts of Europe...  and so, lots of claims and your opinions (eg Lyrical themes of her music often involve emotional subjects such as loss, heartbreak, and love. Her musical style as a recording artist blends Pop, R&B, & Alternative with occasional elements of jazz.) but only limited verification of what you have written


 * 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.


 * I didn't check, although the claim "Trouble" remains one of Maya J's most successful singles to date is verbatim from her website.

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. Also read Your first article. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:49, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
