Your submission at Articles for creation: King-Devick technologies, inc. (King-Devick Test) (March 16)

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

Several issues jump out:

Your intro is too long, and it seems to be two separate introductions? One for the *company* and one for the *test*? An article should be about one topic, so please don't over-explain the company, just focus on the test if that's your target.

Normally a section would be 5 paragraphs or fewer; you have one single section that's like 43 paragraphs long, which really needs to be subdivided in whatever manner for readability.

While this article is *extremely* comprehensive, with a quick overview I'm not seeing a single whisper of criticism of the Test. So is literally the entire world saying "great test, let's drop every competitor and use it"? I don't know this field, but I would be quite surprised if there is indeed zero controversy or debate about it. So when you have an article this massively comprehensive, and not a negative bit in it, it raises serious questions as to whether the article is an objective overview" or the topic, or a passionate defense of the topic disguised as a neutral article.

This is not in my area of expertise, so I will post on a WikiProject, and send you a ping when I do, so people who know the field better can weigh in.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:King-Devick technologies, inc. (King-Devick Test) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:King-Devick technologies, inc. (King-Devick Test), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hi Conniezimmer. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing, which is mostly about health and medicine. Your edits to date are all on the King-Devick draft, and are similar to those of a PR or digital marketing person. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, Conniezimmer. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Comments and requests

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. Unmanaged conflicts of interest can also lead to people behaving in ways that violate our behavioral policies and cause disruption in the normal editing process. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with King-Devick, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency or the like)? After you respond (and you can just reply below), I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks!

And thanks for starting the draft - we should have an article on this. Jytdog (talk) 16:22, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
