User talk:David Kerr Munslow

Welcome!

Hello, David Kerr Munslow, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Cortus, which 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, 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).

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!

Cortus article

Hello, thanks for writing this article! I’ve just read it and I’m a bit concerned that it has no citations except to the company website. That worries me since without proof that this company is notable, meaning covered enough in media to get a Wikipedia article on it, the article may get deleted.

Are there any reliable sources (ones not written by or for this company) you can add? If so just edit the article and add citations using the cite tool, or if you have any thoughts or questions just let me know. Also - I see that you are a Cortus employee. That's not necessarily a problem, but you may want to disclose this (see also link above) so that people are aware of this and make sure that none of your writing could be considered promotional. Otherwise hope this is helpful, any questions just let me know. Blythwood (talk) 18:25, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cortus moved to draftspace

Hi! An article you created, Cortus, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable independent sources. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets WP:42 and Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Unfortunately, drafts are processed by a team of backlogged volunteers, and there may be a wait of several weeks or until the article is reviewed. Thank you! —Unforgettableid (talk) 23:56, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Cortus (November 6)

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

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

See WP:NCOMPANY. Please demonstrate notability as per the guidelines.

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:Cortus 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:Cortus, 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, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, 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.
