Hi BostickLaw. You seem to have mistakenly posted this at Wikipedia talk:Teahouse. That page is for discussing things (i.e. concerns, suggestions) related to the purpose of the Teahouse and its operation; it's not really the place to post request like yours. If you're look for someone to review the draft you're working on, you can try asking at the Teahouse itself. Just go to Wikipedia:Teahouse and click on "Ask a question". The Teahouse, however, is more for asking general questions about editing. Someone will probably take a look at the draft and give an opinion, but if you're looking for more specific feedback you might try asking for it at a relevant WikiProject like Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography/Politics and government. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:59, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, BostickLaw. 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 conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:03, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, BostickLaw!
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! Robert McClenon (talk) 19:19, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

I notice you keep adding material that is not properly sourced. I think you are putting in material that is based on personal knowledge. I suggest you put your intentions on the talk page. Do you have a WP:COI? If so, you'll need to disclose that.
I have been removing unsourced material that you keep trying to add.[1][2][3] It was material like that that had slowed the publication down at WP:AfC. I suggestion you spend more time reading up on the rules at Wikipedia, particularly, WP:RS, WP:NPOV, and WP:VERIFY --David Tornheim (talk) 22:50, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
I struck questions about COI per this discussion above: #Confict_of_interest_editing --David Tornheim (talk) 04:59, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
First, I want to say thank you for creating the article. I would like it to be clear that you created it, and I regret I did not put that in the first edit. We can put a comment on the talk page that says that.
Regarding Talk:Christopher_Hollins#Exceptions, I am not questioning your integrity. I have not seen you misrepresent anything and I don't believe I said you have. I certainly did not intend to. I struck out my concerns about COI, as you answered the question. As someone who works in law, I know the vast majority of attorneys can be trusted, and I have given you the benefit of the doubt the entire time, and that opinion has not changed. I'm sorry you felt I had questioned it.
What I am saying is that you are new to Wikipedia, and the rules here are abstruse. I think it is safe to say that virtually *all* new editors get confused by the rules, and regularly break them. There's nothing wrong with making a bunch of mistakes early on, but it is important to address concerns that experienced editors tell you you have broken. That's why we have WP:BITE.
In particular, we don't follow the rules of legal research that you and I both know. The rules are often counter-intuitive: You might find CNN being used for an article, where direct research into the pleadings and rulings may clearly show that CNN is wrong. In a legal brief, we give the prior history of the litigation. But here, that may not be possible if the article is not about the litigation itself. It's easy to do what Wikipedia would identify as original research. I did it when I first joined years ago. It takes a while to get used to the emphasis on secondary sources.
So, no, please don't think I am at all questioning your integrity. I'm not.
Also, please know that if I had not jumped in, it's likely the article you drafted would not have been published until *after* the election was over. As you my notice from this comment, I pointed out that WP:AfC is more like a graveyard where articles flounder and never see the light of day. You notice that no one questioned that assessment? They probably don't want to admit that it is true. I'm doing everything I can to help you get what's publishable put into the article.
I'm sorry it is frustrating for you, but this almost always the case with new editors. It may not seem like I'm trying to help you, but I really am.
You might find the section I wrote on advice to new editors at the top of my user page of some help.
Please feel free to ask more questions. --David Tornheim (talk) 21:58, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi ChristaJwl, you're receiving this message because you were previously listed at the list of volunteers for Wikipedia's peer review process, but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over 1 year.
Because of your inactivity, you have been removed from the volunteers list, so that the list is kept up to date and editors who do need help can better find active editors. If you become active again and would like to add yourself to the volunteers list again, you can do so at any time by visiting the volunteers list.
Thank you for volunteering to be on the list previously, and all the best on your WikiVoyages! Message delivered to you with love by Yapperbot :) | Is this wrong? Contact my bot operator. | Sent at 18:01, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Chris Hollins requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

I reviewed the rules and it is permissible to usurp a page. It is you all who have started an editing war and I will see it resolved. ChristaJwl (talk) 00:39, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Chris (Christopher G.) Hollins. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Christopher G. Hollins. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Christopher G. Hollins. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 21:41, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Christopher G. Hollins. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 21:43, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
And I have reported you because nothing I did was disruptive or otherwise in bad faith, but I’ve reviewed type of comments that you leave and the actions you under take and I have raised your bad faith actions because with the other administrators. Writing “they have already lost their editing privileges” is simply an attempt to demean me as a fellow editor and the administrative powers you hold are not intended for that purpose ChristaJwl (talk) 00:34, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Hello, I'm MrOllie. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 00:36, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ChristaJwl. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 19:01, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
It has been found that you have been using one or more accounts abusively or have edited logged out to avoid scrutiny. Please review the policy on acceptable alternate accounts. In short, alternate accounts should not be used for the purposes of deceiving others into seeing more support for your position. It is not acceptable to use two accounts on the same article, or the same topic area, unless they are publicly and plainly disclosed on both your and the other account's userpage.
Your other account(s) have been blocked indefinitely. This is your only warning. If you repeat this behaviour you will be blocked from editing without further notice. Thank you. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:13, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
