Welcome![edit]

Hello, Nickkontek, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Impromptu No. 3, Op. 90 (Schubert), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

Proposed deletion of Impromptu No. 3, Op. 90 (Schubert)[edit]

The article Impromptu No. 3, Op. 90 (Schubert) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

On Talk:Impromptus (Schubert), there was a clear consensus for splitting the impromptus into separate articles, but also a clear consensus for preserving them as a set. Therefore, this page should not exist on its own, and its contents be integrated into Impromptus, Op. 90 (Schubert)#No. 3 in G♭ major.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. intforce (talk) 18:57, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pensacola Symphony Orchestra moved to draftspace[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Pensacola Symphony Orchestra. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. 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. JTtheOG (talk) 22:07, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Paul Nedzela (February 9)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by KylieTastic were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Peter Rubardt (February 12)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Paul W were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Entire article is based on one source, the subject's own website. On this evidence, it fails to meet WP:GNG: Rubardt has not "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Article assertions needs multiple additional citations from other sources with a reputation for accuracy and fact-checking.

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 after they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pensacola Symphony Orchestra (February 20)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Qcne were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Hi editor. I have added some maintenance tags throughout where you have not sourced the information properly. Please find sources or remove the uncited text. You also only have two references- both to the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra's website. We would need significant coverage in independent secondary sources not linked to the Orchestra to prove notability. See WP:N for more information.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Pensacola Symphony Orchestra and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Qcne (talk) 21:23, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nickkontek feel free to ask any questions. You have written a good draft tone-wise, but it just isn't quite there with notability or referencing yet. Qcne (talk) 21:24, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024[edit]

Hello Nickkontek. The nature of your edits 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 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 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:Nickkontek. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Nickkontek|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. 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. 331dot (talk) 21:37, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I am asking is that you claim the images you have uploaded as your own personal work, but at least some of them appear to be professionally taken, and you wrote that one is an album cover. 331dot (talk) 21:40, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mark Nuccio (March 1)[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 GoingBatty was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The sources seem to be self-published and/or from his employers. Please provide multiple independent published sources that provide significant coverage of Nuccio.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Mark Nuccio and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

GoingBatty (talk) 05:15, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Could you continue to monitor the draft and possibly add your own content to it? I may need some guidance and more advice on this.

Thanks. Nickkontek (talk) 15:13, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy ping @GoingBatty Qcne (talk) 15:42, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First, gather the independent published sources that provide significant coverage of Nuccio and then write the draft. See Help:Your first article for lots of information. I won't be monitoring the draft or adding any content to it. When you've made significant changes and are ready to have it reviewed again, click the blue "Resubmit" button at the top of the draft. I'm also concerned that you uploaded photos as your "own work" that can be found at the web sites of the New York Philharmonic and University of North Texas. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 17:50, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How am I able to upload photos from the Internet legally without copyright? Nickkontek (talk) 19:05, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Assume every single image you find online is copyrighted and not permitted to be uploaded to Wikipedia. Wikipedia only accepts images that have been very specifically released under one of the following licenses: WP:ICT/FL. Qcne (talk) 19:20, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If an image online does not show any copyright on its source, how may it be used? Nickkontek (talk) 22:47, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there is no copyright status, assume it is copyrighted and do not use it. Qcne (talk) 07:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024[edit]

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Nickkontek, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Nickkontek|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 16:26, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, how do I disclose that I am not paid to edit? Nickkontek (talk) 19:04, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you not being paid to edit? Just say so. Qcne (talk) 19:20, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reason that we are asking this is that you claim that professionally taken images are your own personal work. If these are not your personal work, you must immediately request deletion of the images from Commons.

If you are not paid to edit, just say so. 331dot (talk) 19:45, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. I will as soon as possible. Nickkontek (talk) 22:46, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Whistler Mountain Bike Park (April 1)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Geardona were:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

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.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Whistler Mountain Bike Park and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
