User talk:ButFirstFika

Welcome!

Hello, ButFirstFika, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was User:ButFirstFika/sandbox, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Hello! Thank you for your message. Whoever I can submit this to to ensure it doesn't get deleted would be great! The goal is to create a historical documentation of the program for the founder. They have their website but for legacy they want to capture this information in a more public forum for folks to learn about them and see the history of their work. Please let me know how best I can achieve this and avoid getting deleted!

I'll take a look at the page links you sent me.

Thank you!

Are you receiving and benefit, broadly construed, for this? 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 15:36, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain "benefit." Do you mean compensated monetarily for this? ButFirstFika (talk) 16:12, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

yes and/or some other form of benefit 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 21:15, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am being monetarily compensated for my time in putting this together. However, I have no affiliation with the program. I am an independent contractor. They aim to document the program's history for public knowledge. ButFirstFika (talk) 01:58, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this clear declaration. You fall under the definition of WP:PAID, which you should read and act within. Wikipedia benefits from good paid editors who work well within the rules, and make the correct transparent declarations. You are striving to do this and are welcome here. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 07:55, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful, thank you so much! I appreciate this, and your guidance!! ButFirstFika (talk) 13:53, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also wanted to know how images can be donated to this page? ButFirstFika (talk) 20:27, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Images may be uploaded but they must have suitable licences at their source. WP:TEAHOUSE is probably your best source of help on this. c:Commons:Copyrights has a full primer on what is required, albeit a little arcane. You may prefer the primer. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 08:09, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look at this. I will likely follow up with more questions, ha! Much appreciated! ButFirstFika (talk) 13:54, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What if I have photos already released to the public via media outlets or have the permission of the program to use them as they are already out there in the public sphere? Do I still need written permission to use them? Or can I cite them? ButFirstFika (talk) 19:38, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (May 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Timtrent 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 passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet 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:

Too large a wall of text with too few references. Your only job is to demonstrate notability. Please précis substantially. MOS:HEAD tells you about headings. Please apply what you learn

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 User:ButFirstFika/sandbox 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.

Hello, ButFirstFika! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Location of draft and a little technical work

You draft is now at Draft:North Carolina Statewide Telepsychiatry Program. I have added a template to the talk page noting your paid status. Please edit the parameters to reflect the employer and the client. If identical simply enter the names identically. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 08:04, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

External links in East Carolina University

Please don't add more external links to East Carolina University. We try to minimize the number of external links in the "External links" section of an article and we already have a link to the most appropriate official website for the university. Thanks!
