Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Gemmafrye. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest 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 conflict of interest 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 which forms all or part of work 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. EvergreenFir (talk) 23:20, 3 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Emma Frye

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Emma Frye requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Speedy deletion nomination of Queer Pride Flag

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Queer Pride Flag requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Your contributed article, Trans History Month

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Trans History Month. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Transgender history month. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Transgender history month. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. EvergreenFir (talk) 23:24, 3 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your article has been moved to Draft:Trans History Month by an uninvolved editor. You may continue to work on it there, until it's ready for publication. When you think it is, click on the blue, " Submit your draft for review" button. Before you do that, please read the links in the "How to improve your article" section. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 15:34, 4 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Nonpolar Pride Flag

edit

Just so you know, the article you titled "Nonpolar Pride Flag" is an essay, and so I moved it to User:Gemmafrye/Nonpolar Pride Flag. -- I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 01:12, 4 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

I agree it's not as developed as it could be yet. Though there is a limited amount of information to include given how new the flag is. But the goal would be to have it be a page similar to the pages for other Pride Flags. How do I get it set up as a page?Gemmafrye (talk) 01:42, 4 March 2019 (UTC) I dream of horsesReply

If the information is limited enough, the pride flag may not be notable enough for an article, unfortunately.  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 01:47, 4 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Queer Pride Flag moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Queer Pride Flag, does not have enough sources and citations 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 "Draft:" 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.  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 01:14, 4 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of Nonbinary Sexuality for deletion

edit
 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Nonbinary Sexuality is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nonbinary Sexuality until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. EvergreenFir (talk) 03:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your edits and my nominations for deletion

edit

Hello,

I nominated a number of articles you created today for deletion because of WP:CSD#A11 and WP:CSD#A7. These articles are/were:

I also nominated Nonbinary Sexuality for deletion for the same reasons.

Based on your edits, it appears you have a conflict of interest related to Emma Frye. All edits I can see appear related to this person somehow. Please note that Wikipedia is not a platform to promote a person or their work (WP:SOAP). Wikipedia is a tertiary source which reflects secondary sources, specifically reliable sources. Wikipedia uses those sources to determine what is considered notable enough to warrant an article (see WP:GNG). Because of this, Wikipedia is always behind the current times and only reflects information which made its way through media to the point that it is reported on.

If, say, the Queer Pride Flag were to be covered in Pink News or mentioned by Advocate.com or some other secondary (somewhat) reliable source, then it might warrant an article here on Wikipedia. But until then, it doesn't.

I'd like to reiterate my caution against using Wikipedia to promote or bolster ideas of a specific individual (especially one you may have a non-neutral relationship with). EvergreenFir (talk) 03:52, 4 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bisexuality into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:57, 4 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Who is Emma Frye?

edit

Gemmafrye, can you please explain who Emma Frye is? All of your contributions seem related to her in some way. I'm unable to find anything on the web, or in WorldCat about her, other than a Seattle painter by that name. If you have some connection with Emma Frye, you should disclose it here on your Talk page, and you should let someone else make contributions to articles with which she has some topical relevancy; see WP:COI. You're welcome to contribute to any Talk page about her, or about any topic relating to her. Mathglot (talk) 15:59, 4 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
