World Cities Day moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, World Cities Day, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

June 2020 edit

 

Hello Sarah UN17. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to World Cities Day, 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 compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very 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 extremely 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:Sarah UN17. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Sarah UN17|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. John from Idegon (talk) 12:25, 15 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Draft:World Cities Day. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Drafts do not go into article categories. David Biddulph (talk) 08:31, 16 June 2020 (UTC)Reply


John from Idegon, Kindly note that I am not being financially compensated for my contribution or edits and am editing to add the additional required sources. I would like to continue to edit and add these sources if that is permissible now? Your input is highly appreciated and once I am done, I would be grateful if you could take a look and let me know. Thank You User:Sarah_UN17
