Please help me with... letting me know when my article on Hai-Lung Dai might be approved and posted?

You will be notified of the result of the review here on your talk page. Unfortunately there are currently some 900 drafts awaiting review, so it may take a couple of weeks until a reviewer looks at yours. At a glance I noticed, however, that all the draft's references seem to be associated with Temple University, not quite the independent coverage Wikipedia content should be based on. There also seem to be some verifiability issues. Shortening the draft and adding third-party sources such as newspapers or reputable magazines discussing Dai in some detail may help.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Hedybaker. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Hai-Lung Dai, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:44, 29 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
