Hi there, I noticed you made an edit to the shaving article regarding acne. While I think it is important to mention acne in the section on cuts, I felt that what you included was a little bit to close to a how-to, and ran contrary to WP:NOTADVICE. It was also copied directly from the source without proper use of quotation (see WP:PLAGARISM). I paraphrased your contribution and moved it earlier in the section. I have left the source as-is but keep in mind that commercial/promotional websites are generally not considered reliable and scholarly sources are preferred. Thanks!

Thanks for your contributions to Vincent koc. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Ldm1954 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:
I do not think you will ever get an article on him accepted.
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:Vincent koc 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.
