Hello, Janep1814, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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:

• Best practices for editors with close associations

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

• The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

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!

Dear Twinkle1990 - thank you for your explanation explaining why my article was rejected. I would like to point out that I did in fact disclosed all possible conflicts of interest and any expectation of remuneration before submitting the article. I was also very careful to cite all sources.

The subject of the article, Adrienne Cullen, made a great contribution to patients' rights in the Netherlands and I believe that her story should be told. Her fight to ensure that hospitals take responsibility for their mistakes and her death were covered by many media outlets at the time, all of which I've cited and provided links to. As far as I understand it, these sources are therefore in the public domain. Is there maybe one specific citation that doesn't fit this criteria? All the pictures I used were also either already in the public domain or have been released made available.

I would very much appreciate help to get this right as it's very important to me to have the page published.

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

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.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Written like a CV.

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:Adrienne Cullen 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.

Could you find some sources for the Earlier life section? It is currently tagged as unsourced.

@TSventon - I spoke to her widower, Peter Cluskey, who gave me those details. Janep1814 (talk) 07:57, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241004075700","author":"Janep1814","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Janep1814-20241004075700-Janep1814-20241003150400","replies":["c-TSventon-20241004091200-Janep1814-20241004075700"]}}-->

Wikipedia articles are based on information that has been published in reliable sources, see Help:Your first article#The basics for details. You should be able to find some of the information online, e.g. Deny, dismiss, dehumanise page 302 on Google books refers to "mevrouw A.M. Cullen, geboren 9 november 1960". Sources don't have to be online, so Cluskey might be able to give you references to printed sources.

As you have spoken to Cluskey you should probably read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and disclose a COI if necessary.

@TSventon - thanks. I dealt with the conflict of interest issues when I fist started writing the article. I also reference Adrienne Cullen's book Deny, dismiss, dehumanise in the article though I don't link to a specific page. I'll add this to the draft. Janep1814 (talk) 10:35, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241004103500","author":"Janep1814","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Janep1814-20241004103500-TSventon-20241004091200","replies":["c-TSventon-20241004110000-Janep1814-20241004103500"]}}-->

Thank you for letting me know. The COI guidance says that you should let other editors know when you are discussing a topic where you have COI, see WP:DISCLOSE, so you should also have mentioned it when you first contacted me.

@TSventon - my apologies. I'd assumed all those details were visible to all editors.

I saw your declaration when I looked for it, but it is helpful to let people know when you talk to them, rather than expecting them to look for your declaration.

Of course. I just assumed that all those details were visible to editors. I'll make sure to mention this in my correspondence with other editors. Thanks a lot for your help.

I was put in touch with Peter Cluskey via a mutual acquaintance. He was investigating the possibility of adding an article to wikipedia about his late wife, Adrienne Cullen. I was reimbursed by Peter Cluskey for some research expenses when working on the Adrienne Cullen page. He also provided me with the photos on the page for which he owns the copyright. He provided the necessary documentation for this. This is the only payment received. Any other editing I do to the page will be as a volunteer.

Hallo Janep: the template you placed on Talk:Adrienne_Cullen#Paid_contribution isn't the right one. I tried to helpfully remove the "code" and "nowiki" tags, but it shouted at me in red that it was the wrong template for that situation and that {{Connected contributor (paid)}} should be used there instead.
