Everybodywiki licenses its content under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported licence, which requires any re-use to contain an attribution, stating where the content is reused from. Posting a copy without such attribution, as you did at Draft:Startupmanufactory, is an infringement of copyright. On this occasion, the issue can be easily put right by adding an attribution in an edit summary, which I have done. However, most published material is not licensed under such open terms, and the material must not be posted to Wikipedia at all, so you need to be careful. Don't ever copy anything to Wikipedia unless you know that you are complying with both the copyright terms of the copyright owner and Wikipedia's copyright policy, which is at Wikipedia:Copyrights.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by JamesBWatson 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. 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:
Most of the references don't even mention Startupmanufactory. The few that do are not independent of Startupmanufactory, or are not reliable sources, or both. Please read the notability guidelines and the guideline on reliable sources to see what kinds of sources are required.
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 when they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Startupmanufactory and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Startupmanufactory, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
Hello, Stephen Fried Egg!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! JamesBWatson (talk) 22:38, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Stephen Fried Egg. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).
Your creation of a new, prominently sited section at Economy of the Isle of Man#Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Development Strategy would suggest you have an unusually-keen interest in promoting the Isle of Man government. Your edit history is mostly one topic only, what Wikipedia calls SPA, that is a single purpose account used to promote certain ideas or topics. You have been advised above about conflict of interest editing - please also familiarise yourself with WP:SOAPBOXING relating to the over-promotion of Isle of Man government internal/external aspects at Economy of the Isle of Man with what some might think as over-detailed. I have added a notation to the section which suggests the content is unsuitable for an encyclopedia.
In addition, content such as "Understand our proposition in attracting more Digital nomad" indicates either/or copypaste violation from government sources or that you are involved. I have also noted you tried to create an article Startupmanufactory which name can be seen at LinkedIn as an advisor to Isle of Man government (Startupmanufactory website), showing the key individuals to be Matt Kuppers and Letitia Seglah both of whom are mentioned cited in references. Also please note all of the references you added were primary sources, which are not preferred. The section is unaltered presently, excepting the redlink you included to Startup Manufactory Ltd.
This is just a friendly, custom-created note to guide you. Thank you (pinging JBW for info).--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 19:04, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Reading Rocknrollmancer's message prompted me to look back at your editing history, including your deleted edits. I discovered that some of your edits duplicated verbatim content from previously deleted edits by an editor with the user name "Jennymiller". There was far too much overlap for it to have been chance coincidence. Can you say what the connection is? There are various possibilities, such as that you are the same person using another account, you are someone else collaborating with her, you are a different person contracted by the same organisation that previously contracted Jennymiller to edit on their behalf, and so on. Whatever the connection may be, please let us know. JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson21:00, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for all the advice and suggestions. Happy to look into this to help improving the article. Feel free to suggest any changes and edits. Many thanks. User:Stephen Fried Egg (talk) 8:17, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
@Stephen Fried Egg: Thank you for the response but that's not the answer to the specific queries raised by JBW above; do you have any connection to the aspects specifically queried - Startup Manufactory and Jennymiller(talk·contribs·deleted contribs·logs·filter log·block user·block log). Also, the Isle of Man government (any sector), and University College Isle of Man?
I have deleted the entire section due to blatant WP:PROMOTION until these queries are satisfied. This section does not appear to be the result of new-user activity, and being loaded with techno-babble, this amount of detail is unencyclopedic and should remain at dedicated-portals. It's not incumbent on regular Wikipedia editors to develop content for you, particularly when circumspect. Even if it survives, a radical precis is needed.
