April 2020[edit]

Hello Samantha Herbst. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Mint Group, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Samantha Herbst. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Samantha Herbst|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. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:48, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020[edit]

Hi Sulfurboy

My apologies, I had assumed that I had submitted the Paid Contribution template but obviously did so incorrectly. I've inserted it below, but please note that I am still a third-party contributor and not an advocate for the company. I've also made changes to the sources and only included reliable third-party sources in the Draft:Mint Group page.

Please advise if the Paid Contribution template is correct here? I couldn't add it onto the draft page and the interface on my Talk Page is different...

The Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use require that editors disclose their "employer, client, and affiliation" with respect to any paid contribution; see WP:PAID. For advice about reviewing paid contributions, see WP:COIRESPONSE.

AfC notification: Draft:Mint Group has a new comment[edit]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Mint Group. Thanks! Theroadislong (talk) 13:50, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(talk) As this is all new to me I could really use some patience from the editors' side. Thank you for your comment. Please advise if I can resubmit for review IF I whittle down the type of language that seems to be offensive at this point. If this piece were a basic "this company exists... it was founded in... and these are the public accolades it has been awarded..." By writing "please stop" on my page what did you mean? I can always change the piece to suit what Wikipedia is looking for but I definitely need more helpful guidance than "please stop". I hope you understand?

Samantha Herbst (talk) 14:37, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest spending about 6 months editing other areas of Wikipedia to get a feel for how things work here. You are being PAID to edit I am not, why should I give you any help whatsoever? My "please stop" comment refers to using Wikipedia to promote a company. Theroadislong (talk) 15:10, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

September 2020[edit]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:The Rethabile Project, from its old location at User:Samantha Herbst/sandbox/The Rethabile Project. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 19:51, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Samantha Herbst (talk) 08:03, 18 September 2020 (UTC) Hi Nathan. Thank you for the friendly message and welcome. I appreciate it! I will definitely call on you if I have any more questions. For one, I'm not sure if I'm responding correctly here or signing off appropriately, but will continue to learn as I go. Samantha Herbst (talk) 08:03, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Rethabile Project (November 28)[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 SL93 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. 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:The Rethabile Project 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:The Rethabile Project, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Your draft article, Draft:The Rethabile Project[edit]

Hello, Samantha Herbst. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "The Rethabile Project".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
