October 2019

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Gab4gab. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Denmark Road High School, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You added a name to the notable alumni list without providing a citation to show she attended. Gab4gab (talk) 22:42, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Heliophysics, good catch on other names currently in the list lacking citations showing they attended. I didn't see that because I was only reviewing recent changes. I've now added a tag to the Notables section to alert editors that there may be problems. Gab4gab (talk) 15:03, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to James O'Donoghue (planetary scientist). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and the case for notability is unconvincing. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:36, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to reply, though I'm not sure I've done it correctly, sorry! But in short, I think using some kind of minimum h-index threshold is not a good precedent to set. Heliophysics (talk) 16:33, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Heliophysics. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:James O'Donoghue (planetary scientist), 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:

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. Ldm1954 (talk) 22:44, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I need to declare a CoI according to those criteria. I will do so and use edit requests in future.
At least in this instance it's obvious it was an oversight - I certainly do not hide my institutional affiliation, it's right there on my user page! Heliophysics (talk) 07:42, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Fermiboson 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.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Ok, so I do know some things about this guy and this field, although it isn't strictly mine. I agree with Ldm that there is no way this is an NPROF pass. Having checked several of the sources, all they seem to do is mention his name in the process of talking about some cool photo they took. That is not WP:SIGCOV, and you're smart enough to argue about the problems with h-indices so you're definitely smart enough to read the policy page on what is sigcov and what isn't. As mentioned before, since the sources aren't sigcov, I don't see an argument for GNG. While his work in public outreach is commendable, I don't see an argument being made at all for it being paradigm-shifting, and the works he has created are not themselves notable and so I would hesitate to call them significant under WP:NCREATIVE. I therefore see no reason to override GNG.
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.
