Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Arjuna Mahendran when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.

Feedback
The reviewer, Rht bd, left the following feedback:
This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:
  • provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
  • are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
  • are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.
Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.
This draft reads like a resume or curriculum vitae. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a professional networking website or a place to promote yourself or your services. We also strongly discourage writing about yourself.

Drafts

Information icon Hello, Zetiah, I'm Bearcat. Please note that pages in draft space, such as Draft:Michael L. Siervo are not allowed to be categorized alongside finished articles in mainspace, per WP:DRAFTNOCAT. The page must stay out of any categories so long as it is outside mainspace, and this is not an optional rule that you're free to disregard or ignore.

You can provisionally list categories in your draft without affecting content categories by using one of the methods described here.

As the page has had to be pulled out of categories twice in less than one hour, do not readd it to categories again, because draft and sandbox pages are not allowed to be in content categories. Note as well that there can be consequences for disruption if it doesn't stop, such as page protection or deletion and/or the temporary or permanent suspension of your editing privileges. Bearcat (talk) 21:25, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the heads-up and for removing the categories, Bearcat. I will ensure they remain out of the draft until the article moves to mainspace. — Zetiah Zetiah (talk) 21:37, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Information icon Hello, Zetiah. 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. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation for any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

See the FAQ for article subjects for more information.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 23:17, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

The references shown here are largely not reliable or notability-building sources. For example, you do not make a person notable for writing a book by referencing that book to its own buy-it page on an online bookstore -- you make a person notable for writing a book by referencing it to third-party coverage about the book, such as book reviews in legitimate media of record. And you do not make a person notable for winning an award by sourcing that fact to the award's own self-published website about itself, either: you make a person notable for winning an award by sourcing it to media coverage that considers the award to be newsworthy.
And meanwhile, the only reliable media outlet being cited here at all, the CBC, is an article that briefly mentions Michael Siervo without being about Michael Siervo in any meaningful sense: we're not looking for sources in which he's doing the speaking about other things, we're looking for sources in which he's the subject being spoken about by other people.
