Minor edits[edit]

Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Jack Kerouac, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Pjefts (talk) 11:50, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - thanks for your instructions. It looks like several of my edits were reverted. I'd like to have them become part of their respective pages, so perhaps you can help me. For the Kerouac notes, it appears I need to find more accurate or specific citations. For the Machaven, and Rocky Mount, N.C., information, that is my family's home and I know its history. I'd like to have some missing information added to that page. I appreciate your help with these edits, and also thanks for the explanation of "minor edits." - MarionPB (talk) 16:16, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Pjefts (talk) 18:16, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pete Demers[edit]

I submitted the biography page on retired L.A. Kings Head Athletic Trainer Pete Demers. I became interested in his story through one of my clients. In keeping with Wikipedia's disclosure policy, this client paid me to research and compile biographical information on Demers. After completing that research, I used it to develop this Wikipedia page Nevertheless the interest is Demers is genuine. His contributions to athletic training in professional hockey are worthy of Wikipedia inclusion. These contributions include keeping some of the game's most noteworthy players active during history-making tournaments, as well as successfully advocating for retirement benefits for the profession. Thank you. MarionPB (talk) 23:27, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pete Demers (December 29)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by K.e.coffman was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The article needs to be at least 80% shorter; way too much extraneous detail, such as the subject's fly fishing, etc.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Pete Demers and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Pete Demers, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
