Daniela Hernandez moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Daniela Hernandez, 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. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  00:27, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello Waspmince. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Richard Hatchett, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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:Waspmince. 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, do not edit further until you answer this message. signed,Rosguill talk 19:00, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * i have no financial connection to this article subject. but i will spend a lot of my own money banishing the penniless amateurism that likes to throw rocks at other people's work. you need to stop your baseless calumnies, or you be made an example of. Waspmince (talk) 16:55, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The above was a routine message sent to new editors who are primarily active in high-COI areas such as biographies of living people and companies. A simple disavowal will suffice. signed,Rosguill talk 17:37, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * an apology for your routine libel would suffice. your guilt by association is a really bad idea. it is important for you to understand that there are consequences for your mismanagement. Waspmince (talk) 20:01, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Sara Milthers
Hi,

Thanks for creating the article on Sara Milthers. In reviewing it, I noticed a couple of things.
 * 1) The first reference you provided is incomplete.  It does not specify a web site or specific URL.  What site / page are you citing there?
 * 2) I removed the second reference because it does not actually verify the statement.
 * 3) For any canoe competitors, you can link to their TCF profile by using the template ICF.

Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers. -- Whpq (talk) 18:16, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
