Your submission at Articles for creation: African Marketing Confederation (October 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by 331dot was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Just summarizes its activities, not significant coverage in independent reliable sources.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:African Marketing Confederation and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

October 2025

Hello KHaynesCopywriter. 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:KHaynesCopywriter. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=KHaynesCopywriter|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. 331dot (talk) 08:39, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

I can confirm I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits, nor am I a member of the member bodies which make up the organisation. KHaynesCopywriter (talk) 08:47, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

You have "copywriter" in your username. This suggests that you are editing as part of your job. Is this organization your client? 331dot (talk) 08:51, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

I have that in my username because it's what I do for a living, but no - the organisation is not my client. As stated previously, I have no affiliation with the subject of the article. KHaynesCopywriter (talk) 09:16, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

So- just so I'm clear- you're a copyeditor but not performing copyediting work for the African Marketing Confederation. Is that correct? Can you understand why that might be difficult to believe? How did you come to edit about them? 331dot (talk) 09:44, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

Correct. I don't work for clients like this (NGO's etc.) I came across them updating the CIMG article and noticed that while they are a member of this org, the org itself had no article and thought it would be helpful to have one. KHaynesCopywriter (talk) 10:01, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

Is CIMG your client? 331dot (talk) 10:44, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

No, CIMG is not my client. I have no direct or indirect connections with either organisation. KHaynesCopywriter (talk) 11:02, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

You didn't pick them at random to edit about.

In any event, please see my review of the draft for why it was declined. 331dot (talk) 13:04, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
