January 2024

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Your edits seemed to be written more like advertisements. I understand that it can be challenging to understand proper referencing and suggest looking at WP:REF for details. Thanks! Ternera (talk) 20:58, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't necessarily agree 100% with Ternera in this revert, but I do find your edits problematic for two reasons:

You don't appear to have a grasp of Wikipedia's formatting language, so your edits did not use the proper heading and citation styles.
More problematic, your username is a violation of Wikipedia's username policy. You'll need to select a username that represents you, not the organization you work for. Please see the guidelines on how to change username.

Once you've chosen a new username, and have familiarized yourself with Wikipedia's markup language, I would invite you to expand the Gladwin article with the information about his research contributions. When doing so, please remember to rely on reliable sources and to write in a neutral manner.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mark T. Gladwin (January 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Robert McClenon were:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Mark T. Gladwin instead.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft has information that is not in the article and should be added to the article. Please compare and combine the draft and the article.

You may ask for advice about comparing and combining a draft and an article at the Teahouse.

This page appears to have been written to praise its subject rather than to describe the subject neutrally. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view.

If this draft is resubmitted without being reworked, it may be nominated for deletion. You may ask for advice about the tone of articles at the Teahouse.

This draft contains information that is not in the article. It also contains puffery that is not in the article and should not be in the article. Be careful as to what you do and do not cop y.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Mark T. Gladwin and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Thanks very much for this feedback, Robert. I understand this is a process -- this is my first entry so I am learning! I will re-edit this as a neutral piece, etc. and re-submit when it is ready. Much apprecicated,

Hello, Cjhardwick1957! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 07:55, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Mark T. Gladwin

Hello, Cjhardwick1957. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Mark T. Gladwin".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, 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.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:46, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
