Freethought Lebanon moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Freethought Lebanon, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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.

Welcome!
Hello, Sami Ab.0, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Freethought Lebanon, which 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
 * Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * 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

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

Hello dear and thank you for the detailed description. I can assure you that my account is private and that I am not and will never get any compensation for what I write here. I am indeed connected with the organization I am writing about, and I tried disclosing this in one of the edits, but I am writing about the organization now because it's getting quite big, and many people were wondering why it didn't have a wikipedia page.

In all cases, I would be very greatful if you could tell me what is it that I'm doing wrong. I shared many independent citations from trusted sources like UNHRC and Humanists International and others. I do not know how to fix this further.

Best wishes, Sami Sami Ab.0 (talk) 20:35, 25 April 2021 (UTC)


 * @Sami Ab.0 You added exactly one source of the UN, the rest are all self published sources which are too close to the subject of your draft. I am afraid but if you cannot provide any further independent, reliable sources than your draft will not be approved for being published. If you need further help you can ask any time at the Articles for Creation Heldesk. CommanderWaterford (talk) 21:08, 25 April 2021 (UTC)


 * @CommanderWaterford Thank you again, I added one source for the UN, two sources for Humanists International (which is one big and highly respected organization), one source for Atheist Alliance International (which is also a huge respected organization) and many other references to international and independent sources from Poland, to Lebanon to UK and other. I will try to fix the article one last time, I have a feeling that you want people to only cite books or peer reviewed papers, which does not always work in this context.

Best wishes
