User talk:Dennisguse

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was OpenTracks, 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, 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.

Hi JalenFolf‬,

I am one of the maintainers of OpenTracks (Open-source, donations only).

I have no commercial interested in it's use - just want to make sure that it is not only noted as a fork Google MyTracks.

Technically, it is, but three years (and quite some cool work) make OpenTracks very different to MyTracks.

In the article, I only included feature descriptions and (hopefully) not personal opinions.

In addition, I shared the article with the other maintainers, so we can improve it if needed: https://chaos.social/@dennisguse/108148986579885513

Is there anything in the article that you feel does not fit to Wikipedia?

PS/ My employer is not affiliated with any of my open-source work and I am not getting paid for open-source contributions. Dennisguse (talk) 19:51, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox/OpenTracks (July 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by VersaceSpace 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. 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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Dennisguse/sandbox/OpenTracks 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 User:Dennisguse/sandbox/OpenTracks, 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 the next 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.

October 2022

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:OpenTracks, from its old location at User:Dennisguse/sandbox/OpenTracks. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 07:47, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:OpenTracks

Hello, Dennisguse. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "OpenTracks".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗plicit 00:16, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
