 * Hello, Thanks for reviewing. Would you be kind to assist me with a few tips on how to improve the article? Ghostfishing (talk) 18:56, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * First, are you being employed/paid by Mara? If so, under the Wikimedia Terms of Use, you are legally required to disclose this relationship publicly. Second, Wikipedia is not the place to promote a business. Much of the article reads like an advertisement: for example, "enables users to easily buy, sell..." (emphasis mine). Before you resubmit, I would highly recommend that you go over the article to make sure it is written as an neutral, "boring" explanation of the facts. Let me know if you have any questions!

 * Thanks. I am not a staff member or employee of Mara. I'll go through the article again. Ghostfishing (talk) 10:05, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Onuche Ogbelu moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Onuche Ogbelu, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) WP:NFOOTY is no longer a valid SNG, so GNG must be met. It needs several refs from independent, reliable, secondary sources to pass WP:GNG. It should have at least 3 of those. Please remember that routine sports coverage does not satisfy GNG, and that interviews, being primary sources, do not go to notability either. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Please do not review your own edits at CopyPatrol
Do not mark your own edits as "no action needed" at CopyPatrol. Even if you modified the article and meant well, that system only works when every edit that is flagged as a potential copyright violation is independently reviewed by editor who can determine what, if anything else, needs to be done. Thanks. DanCherek (talk) 01:52, 7 April 2023 (UTC)


 * It was a mistake but noted. Thanks Ghostfishing (talk) 05:25, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

XDC Network moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to XDC Network. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 13:03, 14 December 2023 (UTC)


 * hi User:Fancy_Refrigerator, thanks for the review. There's no COI though as I am neither a staff of XDC Network nor a paid editor. I am just a crypto enthusiast. From what you've written I believe the references are in order, so I'd appreciate if you could point out specific areas you think may need improving. Thanks Ghostfishing (talk) 15:24, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Ghostfishing. The lead section needs improving; the last three sentences, in particular, read like an advertisement. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 11:56, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Fancy Refrigerator. I've worked on the lead section and submitted it for review. However, it is a bit difficult to rewrite this sentence: 'XDC Network is the first hybrid blockchain that combines the features of public and private blockchains with interoperable smart contracts'. That's what makes the blockchain notable and different from others, and it is not promotional in my honest opinion. Kindly take a look and get back to me.
 * Thanks. Ghostfishing (talk) 22:07, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Ghostfishing. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page XDC Network, 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 );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 13:04, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
