Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Arianvalla. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Dresnik archaeological site, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:54, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hii my father, a retired archaeologist, has dedicated his life to preserving and understanding our cultural heritage. Unfortunately, much of his invaluable work has not received the recognition it deserves. To address this, I have edited this post based on verified information from credible sources, including the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Kosovo. My intention is to ensure that his contributions are accurately acknowledged and appreciated. Does this violation the rules of Wikipedia, because what would be the difference if I would post it from a third party? Arianvalla (talk) 21:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a place to get someone's work the recognition it deserves, as this is promotion, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. Your father must satisfy Wikipedia's definition of notability to have his own article, which generally means he should have already been recognized by existing sources.It is generally difficult for someone with a conflict of interest to write about the topic from a neutral point of view and also satisfy our other policies, which is why it is strongly discouraged to do so.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Masar Valla (November 25)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:Masar Valla 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.

Thank you for your prompt feedback. However, I am curious how such a conclusion was reached within just 10 minutes of my submission. The references provided include official publications from the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Kosovo, the Archaeological Institute of Kosovo, and Candavia, a reputable scientific magazine from Albania. These sources, in my understanding, meet the criteria of being reliable, secondary, and independent.

That said, I respect your verdict. My intention in creating this page was to fill a gap in the available information on this topic, but if it is deemed unsuitable for Wikipedia, so be it. The world can certainly continue without this page being published.

Thank you for your time, and I wish you a pleasant shift.independent. Arianvalla (talk) 19:07, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, the government publication and journal paper are not independent sources, as they were created by Valla. The Archaeological Institute publication only contains a brief mention of Valla, which does not constitute significant coverage. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 19:24, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is proof of his work—of course he is going to write them himself. Who is supposed to write about his discoveries and theories, especially for findings that never existed before him, and nobody had a clue about those places. As for the Archaeological Institute paper, it seems clear you may not have gone through all of it, but I understand that, it would take much more than 10 min of review. I can now better understand why Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source. But again I respect your verdict and I am not going to continue bothering you on your Monday shift. Wish you all the best,
