Welcome! edit

Hello, Mscohen429, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question.

I did in fact disclose it on my userpage. Is that not sufficient? Are you somebody who can review this page for me? Mscohen429 (talk) 18:27, 1 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

I've moved your draft back. As you have a conflict of interest, you really need to wait for an uninvolved editor to review the article. As far as a time frame, there isn't really one - we currently have a 3 month backlog but drafts are not reviewed in chronological order. Once you submit it, it will then enter the queue.

If Praxidicae hadn't moved the page back to draftspace before I was done looking at it, I would have deleted it as spam. That speedy deletion criterion is valid for all pages on Wikipedia, drafts just as well as articles proper, but my personal tolerance for spam in draftspace is slightly higher than for spam in live articles. Yes, you have properly declared that you're a paid editor (thanks for that!); however, declaring your conflict of interest doesn't mean you're afterwards welcome to write whatever you want. Having uninvolved editors vet the content is an important step of quality control for people with a conflict of interest. Huon (talk) 18:56, 1 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Rootstock Software moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Rootstock Software, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Given your conflict of interest as well, you should wait for an uninvolved editor to review this and accept or decline it. Praxidicae (talk) 18:31, 1 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Draft:Rootstock Software concern edit

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Rootstock Software, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:22, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Rootstock Software edit

 

Hello, Mscohen429. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Rootstock Software".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Bkissin (talk) 16:46, 7 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
