Welcome!

[edit]

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.

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!

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]

Information icon 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

[edit]

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]
