I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:EverCrypt. Thanks! — Charles Stewart (talk) 18:14, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments. I expanded the current draft based on your remarks, please let me know if it looks clearer.

Regarding remarks about secondary references, there also are several independent blog posts that discussed EverCrypt (e.g., https://medium.com/asecuritysite-when-bob-met-alice/evercrypt-snake-oil-or-a-major-break-through-in-computer-security-provable-safe-code-bf31d25a383a and https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2019/04/unhackable_cryp.html), as well as many independent research papers that either review or compare to EverCrypt (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=13527691025874891991). Would including some of those be useful to alleviate remaining concerns? Afromherz (talk) 15:47, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: EverCrypt (March 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Numberguy6 was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Phrases like "It provides strong mathematical guarantees about the security and correctness of its cryptographic implementations, while achieving strong performance, in some cases even matching or beating other libraries" fail WP:NPOV.

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 when they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: EverCrypt (August 26)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Still considerably short on independent refs.

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.
