Hey,

i need some help with the article of empower. The article already has been reviewed an the reviewer said that the sources are not valid. It would be super kind if some could tell me what sources are needet to get the article published.

Kind regards, Til --Til1004 (talk) 12:45, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Til1004 (talk) 12:45, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Til1004, what you need is multiple reliable sources which are independent of the subject and have in-depth coverage of it, per WP:NCORP. buidhe 12:49, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Expanse Inc

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to review my Wikipedia article on Expanse Inc. I understand it was rejected on November 1, 2019, due to the lack of notability. Since then I have revised the draft to remove any promotional language, highlight notability, and made the article as neutral as possible. Would you consider re-reviewing and/or providing more context in terms of what you are looking for? What is needed from my side, specifically, to resubmit?

For more context, Expanse is a technology company that discovers and manages global Internet assets for Fortune 500 companies and large government organizations, including the U.S. Department of State, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Lockheed Martin, Allergan, CVS Health, PayPal, and many more. Our customers make up over 10% of the routable Internet. Our investors include Arianna Huffington, Peter Thiel, Egon Durban, Taylor Glover, Sam Palmisano, NEA, IVP, founders Fund, and MSD Capital. We were recently featured as Strong Performer by Forrester in The Forrester Wave™: Vulnerability Risk Management, Q4 2019.

From the above, it seems Expanse should have sufficient notability to warrant its own page. Based on your experience, I would appreciate your assistance on how to further improve this article in order for it to be published. Mahnoortarique (talk) 00:01, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

@Mahnoortarique: Please see: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#Paid editing. The subject of the draft also fails WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:PROMO. The company is just not notable. --K.e.coffman (talk) 01:21, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

DS alert per request I give you one at Talk:Race and intelligence

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Can I suggest you use DSAWARE to add any others you think are needed? Doug Weller talk 10:20, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you; I don't mind being alerted. --K.e.coffman (talk) 01:21, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Abel Azcona

K.e.coffman, you had serious concerns about this nomination. There has been some work and a response to your latest comment. Do you think you could return and evaluate what's been done, to determine whether the article (and nomination) are making good progress, or if the problems are still significant? Thanks for whatever you're able to do. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:33, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi @BlueMoonset: It's been a challenging nomination to review -- would you perhaps be able to provide a second opinion? --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:33, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

K.e.coffman, I wouldn't, but we could certainly call for one if you think it's best. I see you've since been pinged from the nomination to give a new opinion after the recent work. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:16, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
