Hello, Kodak03! Having an article draft 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! S0091 (talk) 19:52, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kodak03. 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:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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.

Given your User name its best to make it clear one way or the other. S0091 (talk) 19:53, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have no affiliation with Kodak. I will change my username to reflect this. Kodak03 (talk) 20:07, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's probably best just to avoid any confusion. To be clear, that is not why I declined the draft. To me it really is a matter of if it should be a stand-alone article rather than incorporated into the existing article and glad to see you expanded the existing. It can always be forked later and as you can see the article needs other improvements as well. You could probably cleanup other sections as well (remove content, consolidate, etc.) if you are interested in doing so. If you are super ambitious, you could try getting it to WP:Good article status if not eventually a WP:Featured article, which gets featured on the Main page. Either way, thank you for your contributions! You have certainly make Wikipedia better. S0091 (talk) 20:14, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Jamiebuba was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
• reliable
• secondary
• strictly independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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.

Hello, Rocfan275. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "JK Imaging".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:06, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you had been editing COVID-related articles recently, so I wanted to let you know about Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. It's a chat page on wiki where a group of editors hang out and talk about improving medicine-related articles. It's a great place to ask about finding appropriate sources for biomedical information or how to write about medical content. If you're interested, please put the page on your watchlist (or bookmark it on your computer, if that works better for you) and drop by to check it out whenever you feel like it. There's also Wikipedia:WikiProject COVID-19 if your interests are more specific to COVID content. Thanks for your help with these articles, WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:03, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the invitation. My interest is in coverage of the pandemic itself, not the disease. I will take a look at WikiProject COVID-19. There is much cleanup work left to be done to bring these articles to an acceptable state for a future audience. Rocfan275 (talk) 14:13, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Basically all of the "COVID-19 pandemic in..." articles are in very bad shape. I hope you can make some good progress on them. Thank you for your work. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:21, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

		Citation Barnstar
		This award is given in recognition to Rocfan275 for collecting more than 5 points during the WikiProject Unreferenced articles's FEB24 backlog drive. Your contributions played a crucial role in sourcing 14,300 unsourced articles during the drive.

On 22 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kate Gleason, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Kate Gleason would wear her most feminine attire available as a strategy to sell bevel gears? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kate Gleason. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Kate Gleason), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Rocfan275. thanks for your work on the article. You might also be interested in Draft:Clarissa Street which I split it into two drafts given it was too broad and the creator was more focused on an article about The Pythodd (see also the Pythodd talk page). I removed the content related to the Clarissa/the neighborhood from The Pythodd Room before accepting it but some it might make sense for Pythodd or vice versa, some content in the Pythodd make more sense for Clarissa Street. S0091 (talk) 18:47, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think a full article on the Clarissa Street neighborhood is feasible for Wikipedia. However, there might be a problem with the title of the draft. The neighborhood has gone through multiple names, originally being called the Third Ward after the city council district it was located in. Today the area is more widely regarded as part of the Corn Hill neighborhood, a name popularized by the annual Corn Hill arts festival. I have written a blurb about his neighborhood at Rochester, New York#Geography. I am taking a short break from editing but will give this more attention upon my return.

Hi, I came across your profile from the edit history of the CAD page. I would like to create a page for Shapr3D, an increasingly popular Parasolid based CAD software. I have ties to the company, so I would love an objective outsider to help review the effort. I put together a draft which I feel retains a neutral tone, and references multiple industry sources on notability. Would you be open to taking a look and giving feedback? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Shapr3D Thanks. Sebcachia (talk) 08:02, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not experienced with reviews of drafts but I would concur with the review by AXONOV. Your sources from Siemens and Apple are not independent of the subject and not useful for establishing notability as reliable sources. The academic article used as a source only makes a passing mention of the software and the Forbes articles are about the company, not the software. That leaves engineering.com, which also appears to be closely tied to industry with its sponsorships, although other editors might accept it. I am not familiar with their record. Rocfan275 (talk) 12:41, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look, I added a few more sources, and will keep looking for more. Sebcachia (talk) 10:34, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
