Your submission at Articles for creation: Risk Bites (July 22)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of websites, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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:Risk Bites 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:Risk Bites, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Warning: Conflict of Interest[edit]

Based on your editing pattern, you are associated with Andrew D. Maynard and his various projects. (You are even using the name of his blog as your username!) We have rules on ][WP:Conflict of Interest]]. and on WP:Autobiography, and they require such conflicts of interestto be declared on the talk pages of the articles involved. It also seems very possible that your association is a paid one , as defined in our WP:Terms of Use--if you are working for him or his institutions as a press agent, or are paid by him or his organizations for work that involves the writing of these articles, you must make even fuller declarations, on the article talk pages and your user page.

Material written in defiance of the terms of use can and is removed, and the editors responsible blocked. So I offer you this chance to declare properly. Please include all user names under which you have contributed to any WP article. It seems from the editing pattern that there might be others. I can and will check this further, for in such cases we block all the names and remove the articles, even if there is no conflict of interest. Again, I offer you the chance to declare, and choose a new username, which must not be the name of any organization and publication. (The other names will then be blocked)

I point out that the draft article on him has been moved to mainspace by the author themselves, which is technically possible but is an evasion of the intent of the use of the Draft Articles for Creation system--and, in fact, it was seeing this that brought these articles to my attention.

Response: I can confirm that I am Andrew D. Maynard, and that I have been openly using the online identity of 2020 Science for around ten years - this is well-documented on my personal blog 2020 Science, my Twitter account, and various online bios. I can also conform that there is no paid association here - I am not an agent or organization working for Andre Maynard. I can also confirm that 2020science is the only username I have used when contributing to Wikipedia.

Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do here - thanks 2020science (talk) 13:39, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

September 2018[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "2020science", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because same as a blog. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply ask here. Thank you. DGG ( talk ) 00:24, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. For the past ~10 years my online persona has been associated with the name "2020 Science" - it is the name of my personal blog at http://2020science.org, and my Twitter name at http://twitter.com/2020science. It is also clearly identified in biographical information about me - for instance here: https://sustainability.asu.edu/person/andrew-maynard/

When I signed up to Wikipedia some years ago, I naturally used my online identity as my username. I can confirm that this is my personal online user identity, that I am Andrew Maynard, a professor at Arizona State University, and that this account is used by me alone.

I don't think this violates the Wikipedia username policy, but if there are concerns that it does, I am more than happy to request a name chance - thanks! 2020science (talk) 16:21, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Risk Bites (September 30)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DGG 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). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

None of the previous advice on improving this article has been followed

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.
