June 2021

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Christian Speck, from its old location at User:YosDav/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Jupitus Smart 16:07, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

If you are connected to someone or something you have written about (a few examples are writing about yourself, your business, your band, a member of your family, your client) then you should be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about that subject. The main reason for that is that experience over the years indicates that editors with such a connection to a subject they are writing about are likely to find it very difficult, or even impossible, to stand back from their writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an outsider, so that they are likely to write in ways that look promotional to others, even if they sincerely think they are writing in a neutral way. Also, if your editing forms all or part of work for which you are paid, whether as an employee, as a contractor, or in any other capacity, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require you to state who is paying you, and what your connection to them is. (To avoid the possibility of a surprisingly common misunderstanding, editing is part of paid work if it is done as part of normal employment or as part of a work to a contract, whether or not a specific payment earmarked for editing Wikipedia is made.)

I don't know of any administrator who would restore an article that was a copyright infringement. If you are saying it was not a copyright infringement, you need to explain why. It would probably be best to go to Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion and make your case there. Deb (talk) 15:51, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

@Deb:Thank you. That page states not to "request that pages deleted under speedy deletion criteria [...] G11 or G12 be undeleted here." Can I rewrite the article and submit it again? If so, would it be reviewed by the same reviewer and administrator that reviewed the first submission? I am concerned about biases and inconsistencies within the review system. I can, for example, easily imagine the original submission being published had it been reviewed by someone else.YosDav (talk) 17:59, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Of course you can, and should, reword it. I hadn't noticed that note, but it fits in with what I said earlier: an admin wouldn't normally restore a G12 page unless you could show that it wasn't a G12. G11 is a little more open to interpretation. However, there are a lot of different people who review articles, so there's no reason to think that the same person will review it if you submit a new draft. Deb (talk) 18:33, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

@Deb: Thank you for your help. I will rewrite/reword it. The G12 issue is easy to fix (two sentences paraphrased without citation) but the G11, as you said, is open to interpretation, so I'm unsure how to address it. Anyway, I'll try again. Would you be open to offering your opinion on the revision prior to submission?YosDav (talk) 20:08, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

If you like, but I can't promise to give it priority. Deb (talk) 08:52, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

@Deb: Thank you. Should you change your mind at anytime, I'll understand.YosDav (talk) 15:30, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
