Qcne (talk) 10:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @BINK Robin thanks for the paid editing disclosure and the use of the three best sources. All three sources you mentioned are primarily interviews with Will, so fail the WP:INDEPENDENT criteria. Could you link three more sources that are not interviews? Qcne (talk) 10:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

@Qcne: Hi there! Thanks for reviewing the draft and leaving this feedback. I'm happy to chat about sources. I have a question, to make sure we're on the same page. Can you explain a bit more about what part of WP:INDEPENDENT you're applying? I believe Chicago Tribune, Fortune, and Investor's Business Daily all qualify as WP:RS. I tried to avoid sourcing content to quotes, since quotes are WP:PRIMARY, instead focusing on the prose written by journalists in those articles. These articles aren't Q&A, and of course many sources use quotes from the subject. To help me evaluate other sources, at what point do you feel an article goes from an "interview" to a profile or feature? Cheers! BINK Robin (talk) 18:51, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey @BINK Robin.

I agree those three sources are from reliable sources, but the issue I have with them is although they aren't straight forward Q&A interviews, they really do seem to be just presenting what the CEO says about his life and career without very much independent analysis, discussion, interpretation, or comparison.

- Chicago Tribune looks to be derived fully from an interview with Johnson. There's brief detours into data but I don't think it's enough to really call it independent. It feels likechurnalism.

- Fortune is okay, though it's still an interview but does have some reflective commentary.

- IBD is better with indepth analysis of leadership etc. But, again, it's based primarily on an interview with Johnson.

The latter two sources could absolutely be used to cite his career and philosophy and such, but we need to establish notability first. To establish notability we need sources which are not primarily derived from an interview with Johnson. We're initially not interested in what the subject has to say about themselves, but what a source secondary has to say about the subject.

To be honest I think we're actually pretty borderline on this one. A couple more secondary sources and I think you'd prove notability.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Qcne (talk) 19:53, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

@Qcne, thanks for the extra analysis of those sources, that is super helpful insight! I’ll look around at what else is available and come back. When you say a couple of secondary sources, are you thinking more towards full profiles or would shorter articles / secondary articles where Johnson is one of several subjects be adequate at this point? Cheers, BINK Robin (talk) 20:34, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Could be either, it depends on the source and the content. Happy for you to link some and I'll have a look sometime tomorrow. :) Qcne (talk) 20:37, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

@Qcne Sounds good, I’ll ping you when I’ve got more sources for you to check out. Cheers! BINK Robin (talk) 20:50, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

@Qcne: I'm back with a few more sources to chat about. Here are a couple of articles I didn't include in the draft, but am curious to hear your take on:

• Optimist Daily
• Good News Network
• I'm also curious what your thoughts are on the Kellogg profile. I didn't include that in my initial top three because it's his alma mater, but I do think it's written more in the format you're looking for.

Okay, let's start with those three for now. Appreciate you walking through these with me. Cheers, BINK Robin (talk) 16:31, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

The first two sources are similar to the IBD source, in that they are based on interviews but still provide some analysis.

The Kellogg profile isn't independent but could be used to source parts of his career, education etc.

We're lacking any articles with critical, in-depth analysis, from a third-party perspective - but I wonder if there are any?

I think the addition of those three would push the draft into notability territory, and I would be happy to accept on that basis however. Qcne (talk) 17:16, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

@Qcne Sounds good, that’s how I used the Kellogg profile, and I’ve just added the other two sources to the draft. If you have any other thoughts or questions, let me know! Cheers, BINK Robin (talk) 18:32, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

I've accepted that now :) Qcne (talk) 19:49, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

@SafariScribe: Thanks for reviewing the draft and moving to Mainspace! I saw you added the Template:Paid contributions to the article. I have disclosed my COI on the Talk page and on my User page as required by Wikipedia's rules. Was there specific content in the draft you wanted to address? If there isn't any, it's my understanding the tag should be removed. Happy to chat about any of the article's content. Cheers, BINK Robin (talk) 18:15, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, BINK Robin. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Ben Lerer, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 17:31, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello, BINK Robin. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Ben Lerer".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:18, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello BINK Robin. 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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:BINK Robin. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=BINK Robin|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.
I note your comment about employment and COI on your user page. This is the formal question to ask you to state formally that you are a paid editor. It gives you the form to choose. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 10:24, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I don’t mind adding some more disclosure. My User page now includes the paid template along with my existing disclosure. Cheers, BINK Robin (talk) 16:04, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
