[edit]03:42:21, 9 November 2017 review of submission by Jwologo
[edit]I am an expert on Updog, and I am providing new information not provided elsewhere, but my article was not posted due to the sources not being secure enough. I however am the source, and I was only citing any information that was not my own.

- @Jwologo: All Wikipedia articles must strive for verifiable accuracy, citing reliable, published sources. Content is not based on editors' personal experience or knowledge. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. The essay "Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth" may clarify this. Also note that "updog" may fall in the category of neologisms. Wikipedia generally will not publish articles on neologisms. Perhaps some of your work on the subject would be suitable on our sister project, Wiktionary, but I'm not very familiar with their criteria, which are quite different than Wikipedia's. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:59, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

[edit]
I want to post brief factual information about my company and identify the specialist field. My first attempt has been deleted. I am using as a model the successful post about Elgoods Brewery

Hello, Christopherelgood. It appears that your submission to Articles for Creation was declined because it lacked reliable sources. Please note that Wikipedia requires third-party, independent sources for an article to be considered notable enough for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you need further help on what sources could be considered reliable, please visit the help desk. Thank you. Additionally, please make sure you review our conflict of interest guidelines.
