Thank you, I agree and will keep working on the article to make it ready to publish. Question: Can I save my changes without re-submitting everytime, as I would like to work on the article over a period of time and save changes as I go and then re-submit when I am fully ready?
Thanks again for your help

Hi @Karinvanderlaag. Yes. Just hit publish and your changes will save. When you feel it's ready, click to re-submit. Let me know if I can help in any other way. Star Mississippi 15:10, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Greenman. At the beginning of this process I was asked to disclose whether I was being paid or not and did so. I am not sure why it does not show up here. Can you help me add anything else that will show that I am a paid contributor for this page? I tried to add the template on my talk page as well. Thanks in advance, Karin van der Laag Karinvanderlaag (talk) 07:38, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, the disclosure is not yet correct. The template that appears on the talk page says "InsertName ... has been paid by InsertName ..." which isn't very enlightening. The specifics of your own situation need to be included. Greenman (talk) 17:07, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The contributor Karin van der Laag will be paid by David Wicht on completion of the article for Wikipedia. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 09:24, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Karinvanderlaag (talk) 12:19, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good Day Greenman, Thank you for your message.
When I started the process I disclosed that I was a paid editor, but seem to have gone about it the wrong way.
David Wicht will pay me to write his Wikipedia page and FIlm Afrika the company will pay me to write their page. I do not work for either of them. I am a writer, Script Supervisor and Actress in the Film Industry.
I am not sure if i have disclosed this correctly now.
Can you help?
Thanks Karin Karinvanderlaag (talk) 12:22, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Karinvanderlaag. I copied it to your userpage. Courtesy heads up to @Greenman but I think I did it correctly. Star Mississippi 17:18, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:David Wicht

Information icon Hello, Karinvanderlaag. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:David Wicht, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 13:01, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I re-edited the page a few days ago and resubmitted it. It is now being reviewed once more. Thank you. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 11:56, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
hello, I want to help you out on this, I added the infobox and corrected part of the filmography, so you'll be able to do the rest of it. Filmography don't usually have ref, and producteur should be mentionned after the movie example
  • 2005: Duma: productor
you can look into articles of your favourite actors or other person to check their page to help you write. There's lot of sources too Veganpurplefox (talk) 13:30, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
if you can take like 4 reliable sources with significant coverage of him and improve the draft it would be better. I learned a lot with making my own Drafts and how it is made I wouldn't have put on submission, but you can improve it Veganpurplefox (talk) 13:32, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. I will take a look. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 14:34, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Robert McClenon there were some shenanigans going on here with the move, but they had nothing to do with @Karinvanderlaag's editing Star Mississippi 02:54, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
User:Star Mississippi - I thought so. All that I did was to leave a template message that I leave on a draft that was moved from article space to draft space. The message was not really meant to be addressed to any one editor, but to anyone reviewing or editing the page. I thought that there had been COI editing and maybe other misconduct. The note was left on the talk page of Karinvanderlaag because Twinkle thought that they were the submitter. I wasn't trying to figure out who was doing what. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:20, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Gotcha, thanks @Robert McClenon. I misread If you do not understand why this article was sent back to draft space, please ask the reviewer rather than simply resubmitting. as saying they had moved it and it was moved back. Need more coffee. Star Mississippi 12:31, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, User:Star Mississippi. That's a template message, {{sentback}}, that I put on almost any page that was draftified, telling editors not to move-war it back into article space. As we know, if an article is move-warred back into article space after being draftified, AFD is usually the way to resolve the issue. Anyway, you and I both knew that there was some sort of disruption with the article. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:46, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Cabrils
Thank you for your comments.
I will re-look at the article with your suggestions. As regards being paid, I have mentioned this a number of times on my talk page so I am not sure why it is not showing up. Greenman asked me this question already in August 2022 and I stated clearly on this page that I would be paid as well as adding the "connected contributor" paragraph.
I will persevere and get back to you.
Thanks for your help

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Film Afrika requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://filmafrika.com/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Jay 💬 19:53, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jay
I am in the process of writing this article and was not aware that it was already "published". I am of course not intending to publish it with direct comments from the film afrika website. That would be ludicrous.
I understood that I was editing this page in private. I am not sure how this happened. Please could you help me with this and return this page to a draft space where i thought it was?? Karinvanderlaag (talk) 07:47, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am working on the draft as we speak Karinvanderlaag (talk) 07:50, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please show me the direct copy from the Film Afrika website?
I asked for my original draft written in 2022 to be undeleleted.
My second draft copy had information from the Film Afrika website that I was in the process of re-working while I waited for my original 2022 draft to be undeleted which I see it now has been. The draft I started in 2024 is now null and void and no longer required. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 07:53, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are no circumstances where copyright information, once discovered, may remain on any part of Wikipedia, even transiently, with the very tiny exception of an administrator redacting that information and removing it from public view. Very short attributed and cited quotations are allowed. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 08:12, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The drafts were never published. I had restored your 2022 draft twice - once in 2023 and now again earlier this month. Not sure where the confusion lies. Jay 💬 09:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correct declaration of paid contributons

I see that you are anticipating payment from David Wicht and from Film Africa. I=y seems that you have not made those pad editing declarations correctly, though I believe this is not deliberate.

Please read WP:PAID carefully.

There are two declarations you need to make for each article where you are compensated:

  • {{Paid}} on your user page, with all parameters filled out carefully
  • {{Connected contributor (paid)}} on the article talk page, with all parameters filled out carefully. Please do not omits the "EH" parameter.

It is important to make corrections to your declarations at once, please. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 08:20, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.
I don't know how to attach these declarations to my pages.
Could you please guide me through the process? Karinvanderlaag (talk) 08:31, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are being paid to edit here and to get it right. You have all the information at your disposal already. There is no additional guidance anyone can give e you, except to take your time to understand what you are reading. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 08:38, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What Timtrent may be telling you is that now you are here, you may as well start helping out in articles or drafts outside of your paid editing scope, and you'll find more friendly interaction. Jay 💬 10:07, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Soliciting Wikipedia editors for Paid work

stop STOP - You have solicited me for paid article creation. Under no circumstances do that to any editor ever again. I predict doing so will result in a block. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 09:20, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was not soliciting you for paid work. I was trying to understand how articles get through the maze of unpaid editors. I was asking whether an unpaid editor would help get my article in shape. Do not ever accuse me of this kind of wrong doing. It is libellous and very dangerous to my name. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Making these kind of accusations against me will result in me asking for you to be blocked. Be very careful. Your deletion of my article was improper to say the least. Uninformed and ignorant.
Please do your research Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:26, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am a celebrity actress in South Africa with a SAFTA (equivalent to the BAFTA) awards for my character as MAGGIE which theroadislong described as a small part in Isidingo. I have worked with Richard E Grant on The Story of an African Farm with Boris Kodjoe and Tront Espen Seim on Cape Town written by Deon Meyer and for various German, French and Dutch companies as Casting Director, actor and Script Supervisor. I have directed events where I have been onstage with the late President Nelson Mandela.
Do your research Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:29, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
None of that makes you notable in Wikipedia terms unless it has received significant coverage in reliable sources. No research is required, Wikipedia articles are based on what reliable independent sources have reported, NOT what you tell us. Theroadislong (talk) 13:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

COI clean up edit.

Hello @Karinvanderlaag, Insw your edits to Draft:David Wicht and failure also to address the reviewers' concerns of getting the article to mainspace. While watching the discussion at Trent's talk page, I saw you're reluctant to good faith advice given to you but remember "we don't treat paid editors as trash rather we correct them also" (POV). I will edit the draft for you and you see the changes if what you couldn't do. I will also advise you to desist from paid editing as it will totally reflect your work here. Wikipedia is all about volunteering and per me and must editors, we learn more here and following that learning, wouldn't make us deceive wikipedia by turning what we learn daily (WP:CIVILITY, following people's opinion per WP:CONSENSUS, and knowing what we call reliable source plus all other policies). They will help you also. Regards. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 08:14, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

to echo @SafariScribe here, as well as @Timtrent @Jay @Theroadislong and others who have tried to help you throughout this. Wicht's article has been deemed not ready for publication and Film Afrika does not meet N:ORG. Adding more sources doesn't help that. It's disengenous to say you haven't received help or that there's a cabal-we have tried to help. We are not required to do work on behalf of your client, nor are you. You can either continue to try on these to address the issues raised, or you can edit elsewhere in the project where you're not being paid. That's your decision, but my personal recommendation is you decide whether you want to be member of the community or not. Star Mississippi 12:36, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Star Mississippi, I have edited and improved the draft. However, @Karinvanderlaag, like Star Mississippi said, you decide also to join Wikipedia volunteering because it isn't going to be easy Ike this again. It's neither a threat (never), it a friendly advice. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 12:40, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Huge thanks are due from you to @SafariScribe, who has turned a frightful mess into a submitted draft which now has a chance of acceptance. I have a firm suggestion to you that you do not submit an invoice to your employer for this draft. Doing to would, in my view, be fraud.
I suggest you cease all action on your other paid draft until you have learned how to work here. Indeed I suggest you cease and desist from paid editing. The skills you have exhibited so far suggest that you are not understanding sufficient of the task before you to succeed.
I perceive you as not being here to create an encyclopaedia and that you are here for a financial motive. I will tell you clearly now that your attempt to solicit me to produce paid work has been passed to the relevant team who will take action or not at their sole discretion. I have included in that report the fact that you asked me where you night find editors who would work for pay.
We are charged to assume good faith in our dealings with all editors. I can tell you that mine has been stretched past its elastic limit.
You needs to make a decision either to work well as a volunteer, or to work on some other project. I suggest you withdraw from paid editing.
Thank you from me, first and foremost to @SafariScribe, and then, In no particular order to @Star Mississippi, @Theroadislong @Jay and others too numerous to mention who have tried to offer you advice and help, and had their help misunderstood or ignored. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 12:55, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Star Mississippi Thanks very much for your edit and improvement. I do not pretend to know what I don't know. Hence the request for guidance. I had no intention whatsoever to "solicit" you as a paid worker. I realised that being a paid editor myself seemed to be deeply frowned upon and was merely asking how wikipedia pages get created? Who decides (amongst the volunteers) who gets accepted and not? That is why I suggested that this page be written by an experienced volunteer. I suppose it was a strange question which could by viewed by experience volunteer editors as a conflict of interests, but in my exasperation I asked the question because I to date have not received an answer as to how wikipedia articles appear and who is allowed to write them, let alone who or which number of who's approve them. I believe these to be transparent questions which deserve transparent answers without being shipped off into a link or a snide remark on not being experienced enough to be "in the know". I was on wikipedia unpaid and did make edits before. So it seems I was "one of the team" until I did what was required and declared that I was getting paid. After that all bets were off as to how I was treated when it came to "help". I am not sure how to proceed now with Film Afrika. I have written a page. What will happen to this page? Do I hand it over to someone else who is not getting paid? Advice please? And thanks again for your edit and improvement.
Kind Regards
In the spirit of learning and acknowledging that none of us know everything.
Karin Karinvanderlaag (talk) 10:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SafariScribe thank you for your offer to edit. I entered Wikipedia unpaid and curious to learn the system. When told to declare payment I did so. I had no idea that paid editing was so frowned upon. We live and we learn. "To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge." Socrates.
I am always in pursuit of knowledge not money.
Thanks for your advice and help. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 10:26, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am in this series. Would you like the link to the scene? Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can also have the personal conversation between me and Boris Kodjo from his instagram account Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:38, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Zoop in Africa. Theroadislong (talk) 13:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I cast this series, would you like the link to IMDB Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:IMDB is NOT a reliable source for anything on Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 13:39, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:Timtrent. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:38, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please look at your own "they are taking the piss" comment that you put into AI and turned into something about micturation and be very careful about who you block Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:39, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also please be very careful about your libellous comments about whether I can read English with an English and Drama degree Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:40, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Karin Van Der Laag. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:40, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has all been screengrabbed, whether you delete, block or ban me Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:40, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please take your own advice. I was humiliated as to my ability to read and my competence as a writer. I have screengrabbed all of this and will be using it as evidence of how English and Drama graduates get treated by freelance unpaid wikipedia volunteer editors who think they have the right to block and ban when they are sarcastic and humiliating and yet swing the axe willy nilly as they please at innocent writers trying to publish legitimate articles.
Look at the log in your own eyes, sirs. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Waiting patiently for your reply about your personal attacks on me. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:48, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately my English and Drama degree do not afford me the knowledge to come up with the little hand and exclamation mark to alert whoever is above you both to block you both for the personal attacks you made on me: this editor Karinvanderlaag (talk) 13:49, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
