User talk:AtomicAardvark

Welcome!

Hello, AtomicAardvark, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Thank you @CNMall41, appreciated. I tried to adhered to the CoI rules for composing the article to which you refer. The article is hopefully a neutral and factual representation of the organisation and I was not paid to create it. Please do read through it if you get chance. Any advice about how to improve it ahead of the publication review would be most welcome. Regarding the username, this is personal account, so no problem there. Thanks again for the input and the welcome.

You have a declared COI with Draft:Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies. What is your connection to that subject? Note that you do not have to be paid directly in order to fall under WP:PAID. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:55, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am an SCU member. I'm not paid for my contribution to Wikipedia in any sense of the word; no direct compensation nor any other form of indirect inducement, monetary or otherwise. AtomicAardvark (talk) 23:15, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: UAPx (February 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Scientific America reference does not meet WP:CORPDEPTH.

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:UAPx and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (August 31)

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

I am somewhat lost. What is "UAP"? Yes it's explained in Para 2, but I had to look for it.

Then I started to read. Para 2 is impenetrable. Please rewrite it, perhaps splitting in in twain.

I'm having the same problems with most of not all other paragraphs.

Please make your writing plain and simple, avoiding narrative, staying with fact based prose. This is a hotly debated area. Please make sure the draft cannto be accused of debating. Facts and facts alone, please.

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.
