User talk:Rayrunner

Welcome!

Hello, Rayrunner, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Quality Information Framework, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Snowycats (talk) 19:03, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Quality Information Framework

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Quality Information Framework requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from qifstandards.org/about-dmsc. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Rayrunner. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Rayrunner|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. Also read the following regarding writing an article:

you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:

significant coverage in
independent,
multiple,
reliable,
secondary sources.

Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.

You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:30, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your disclosure, please reframe it in the form prescribed above as {{paid|user=Rayrunner|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}} to create the correct template. You are correct that draft space is there to allow improvements, but it can't be used to host copyright violations or promotion. Note also that although your declaration prevents you being blocked as an undeclared paid editor, it doesn't mean that you can write what you like; anything like your first attempt will be seen as non-compliant so take your time and make sure you get it right. :Your first draft was a copyright violation of non-PD sites, it had no in-line references at all, and the external links you listed as references were to your own sites, not independent third-party sources. You had no wikilinks to other articles, but you did add TM symbols and promo-bolding contra MOS

Your content was purely promotional with nothing to show how it meets our notability criteria. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:22, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page conventions

Please post any new topics to talk pages, such as you did to User talk:Jimfbleak, at the bottom of the page. This ensures that the topics appear in the correct chronological order.
When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Your submission at Articles for creation: DMSC – Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (March 31)

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

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.

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.

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:DMSC – Digital Metrology Standards Consortium 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:DMSC – Digital Metrology Standards Consortium, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

GeneralPoxter (talk) 19:46, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Rayrunner! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! GeneralPoxter (talk) 19:46, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: DMSC – Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (April 2)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Sulfurboy was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: A full on advert with virtually no sourcing to denote notability. Since article would have to be wholly rewritten even if the subject is notable this is a clear rejct.

Rescued text from Draft talk:DMSC – Digital Metrology Standards Consortium

Content by Rayrunner

I had problem creating the infobox.

Will add history of the DMSC. We will also submit our Quality Information Framework (QIF)which is our primary standard we manage.

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (your reason here) --Rayrunner (talk) 16:45, 2 April 2020 (UTC) I/we are the owners of the content and images used in this article and they are not copyrighted materials and open for all users to use. I am a board member of the DMSC the subject of this article and are simply trying to add who we are tot the body of information that makes up Wikipedia such as ANSI, ASME, and ISO other standards organizations that help promote standards to be used by industry.[reply]

however your website clearly states "Copyright © 2007 - 2016 CMM Quarterly. All rights reserved". Wikipedia only has articles on notable subjects, your draft has zero independent sources. Theroadislong (talk) 16:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

April 2020

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for using Wikipedia for spam or advertising purposes; violations of Wikipedia's copyright policy; disruptive editing with a conflict of interest. "If COI editing causes disruption, an administrator may opt to place blocks on the involved accounts." This has happened now. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:03, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly recommend, although can not require, that you do not continue to use your Wikipedia account for edits related to your conflict of interest. As a more productive, less stressful and less maintenance-intensive alternative, I recommend enjoying Wikipedia as a volunteer without affiliations to the edited articles. The Task Center and the community portal may be interesting for this purpose. You have been on Wikipedia for over 4 years, and we'd love to welcome you back as a helpful contributor. If you clearly agree not to edit about your affiliations anymore, the block can also be removed under this condition immediately. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:07, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
