Doug Schuler[edit]

For anyone who may need verification of the identity of Doug Schuler, please feel free to contact me. I've collaborated with him on and off over the years, mainly in Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, but also in the Seattle Community Network. He's on the faculty of The Evergreen State College, and tells me that he is likely to be contributing mainly material that he has already published elsewhere. He has been writing about community networks, community intelligence, etc. at least since the mid-1990s. He's the author of New Community Networks: Wired for Change (ACM/Addison-Wesley, New York, 1996). The main reason I'm leaving this note is that his contributions are likely to be copyrighted materials that he has already published elsewhere, but will not be copyright violations, because he is the copyright holder.

If anyone needs to verify his identity more definitively, you can write to one of his published email addresses and he can respond to confirm that this account is his. - Jmabel | Talk (wiki-admin) 17:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SIGCAS moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, SIGCAS, is not suitable 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 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. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 01:33, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: SIGCAS (January 3)[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 AssumeGoodWraith were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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.

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:SIGCAS 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:SIGCAS, 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.

Concern regarding Draft:SIGCAS[edit]

Hello, Dougschuler. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:SIGCAS, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 11:59, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:SIGCAS[edit]

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

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. If 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. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:17, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
