Andrew Grant (Landscape Architect) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Andrew Grant (Landscape Architect). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because 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.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Fancy Refrigerator ^(talk) 22:32, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what the conflict of interest is here . I do not work and never have for Andrew Grant or Grant Associates. I wish for more British Landscape architects to be recognised in Wikipedia. Andrew’s Grant is globally celebrated therefore I do not understand the issue here. LASJM77 (talk) 23:02, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just also to put this in context, I’m a lecturer in landscape architecture in the UK my student glean information from Wikipedia frequently - it’s important for them to k who of more modern day British landscape architects LASJM77 (talk) 23:07, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello LASJM77. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:LASJM77. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=LASJM77|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Fancy Refrigerator ^(talk) 22:33, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Zero payment here ! Just time and passion and interest in the subject of landscape architecture. If only I was paid to do this LASJM77 (talk) 23:04, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

John Jeffrey (civil servant) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to John Jeffrey (civil servant). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Tenshi! (Talk page) 11:42, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - I have added more references and citations. He was a prominent civil servant in Scotland in the 19th century, particularly with public health and poor law. LASJM77 (talk) 12:23, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

John Jeffrey (civil servant) - this has far more links LASJM77 (talk) 12:23, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't split the article by creating a new article in mainspace while the existing one was in draftspace, this will now require a histmerge to fix the page history. Tenshi! (Talk page) 12:29, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how it has done that. I only finished editing the page and didn't create a new one (a bit of a faff to do that). I wonder if I was editing at the same time it was being moved to draft? LASJM77 (talk) 12:37, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly that seems pretty common with MediaWiki, I wish it'd at least give a warning saying this would happen. Tenshi! (Talk page) 12:52, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about List of professional landscape architecture organisations

Hello LASJM77, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, List of professional landscape architecture organisations, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of professional landscape architecture organisations.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Northernhenge}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Keep – The list is encyclopaedically valuable as a central reference showing the global infrastructure of landscape architecture (there are over 100000 landscape architects globally), consistent with similar lists in architecture, planning, and engineering, and supported by reliable sources demonstrating the profession’s international scale and recognition.

The article can be improved by adding more independent citations, balancing global coverage, and including brief descriptions to provide context beyond a directory of links. LASJM77 (talk) 06:04, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
