Hello, GreenMarginalia!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! ChrysGalley (talk) 08:10, 25 April 2026 (UTC) |
- Thank you,@ChrysGalley. I've taken on board the feedback received and rewritten the article following the Articles for Creation template and by reviewing Wikipedia pages on similar topics. It's coming along, and I'm learning a lot about Wikipedia. GreenMarginalia (talk) 05:10, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of User:GreenMarginalia/sandbox
[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 User:GreenMarginalia/sandbox, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- The page exhibits signs of having been generated by an AI model with no clear human review. Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia and output must be carefully checked. (See the section G15 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. --みんな空の下 (トーク) 08:34, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

You must disclose yourself as a paid editor.
[edit]A reviewer of your article indicated that you had left the following comment there;
"I am an independent sustainability consultant who does paid and voluntary work for not-for-profit organisations, mainly in the environmental and performing arts sectors.
For more than 20 years, I have routinely volunteered for not-for-profit organisations, including professional environmental associations, environmental groups, performing arts groups, local government community committees and community sporting clubs. This includes intermittently volunteering with Plastic Free Foundation, the organiser of Plastic Free July. Recently, I began receiving a nominal fee for my assistance with a specific project, which does not cover Wikipedia editing. In a voluntary capacity, I have drafted the Plastic Free July article. I will follow Wikipedia’s conflict-of-interest and neutral point-of-view policies and aim to contribute to other Wikipedia articles as I develop my Wikipedia editing skills.
I used the Wikipedia Article Wizard and submitted the draft for review, and may have duplicated it by also using the Sandbox. I hope this doesn't confuse the editing or slow down the article review process."
Even if your fee does not explicitly include Wikipedia editing services, the fact you are being paid by the organisation for whom you are writing an article makes you a paid editor according to our policy on the matter. You must properly disclose yourself as a paid editor, not merely an editor with a conflict of interest, or you are liable to be blocked from editing for undisclosed paid editing.
Please read our paid editing policy to find out how to properly disclose your status as a paid editor, and do so immediately before you edit any further. Athanelar (talk) 15:08, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
Do not use AI chatbots or large language models when editing Wikipedia. Their use is nearly always prohibited.
Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view.
Take particular care while writing about a living person. Controversial and negative statements must be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
Don't edit war or abuse multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add advertising, promotional messages, or text that is not related to an article's subject.
Use talk pages to discuss article improvements, but not as a forum for general discussions.
If you have any questions, ask them on the Teahouse or on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Sarsenet•he/they•(talk) 08:08, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
