Your submission at Articles for creation: Dave Taht (October 4)[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 S0091 were:

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.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Secondary sources are needed

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:Dave Taht 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:Dave Taht, 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.

Welcome![edit]

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

The five pillars of Wikipedia
Contributing to Wikipedia
Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Simplified Manual of Style

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!

Expert editors[edit]

Hi, you may also find Expert editors helpful when contributing and discussing other articles, in addition to WikiProject Computer Science. S0091 (talk) 23:46, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and there is a whole other technical side to volunteering here that may interest you. Volunteers create scripts, bots, etc. to make things easier. Your interests may solely lie with historical aspects of computing, which is more than fine, but there are broader things to do around here. S0091 (talk) 23:57, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Help request[edit]

Hi Dave. You may more readily find the help you've requested by posting at [[1]] or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing. I'm available to help; Let me know what you need. For basic Wikipedia handholding, there's WP:TEAHOUSE. ~Kvng (talk) 14:44, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FQ CODEL[edit]

Your page is at Draft:FQ CODEL now, because you stated it was a draft and you didn't want to publish it yet. When you're ready, you can move it to the mainspace for publication. Thank you, Sdrqaz (talk) 15:23, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thank you. The draft ended up redirecting to the main one again... Anyway To me "it's good enough" now, so it ended up published ?, and I figure if it's out there, more folk from the bufferbloat effort will pile on and fix it, rather than if it hides in draft.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Dave Taht has been accepted[edit]

Dave Taht, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Dtaht. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Dave Taht, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 11:39, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FQ-CoDel moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, FQ-CoDel, 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. MarioGom (talk) 13:35, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am still quite naive abut editing wikipedia. As noted in the article, this algorithm is used by billions of devices today, and thus notable. FQ-codel has 340+ papers see https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=fq-codel&btnG= on it, of which I contributed directly to about 9, notably rfc8290, but I am cited a lot elsewhere.

As for COI - I run the bufferbloat project. I very rarely get paid for anything on it, and certainly not for editing wikipedia. There aren't a lot of experts on congestion control in this world! Eric Dumazet wrote fq-codel (he deserves a wikipedia page himself for all his contributions to linux IMHO but I don't know enough about him to write one). The reference to fq-codel on the codel wikipedia page had been in there for 8+ years.

The page in its current form reflects some paid work I'd been doing to validate the correctness of the algorithm where it is being used (notably the mikrotik rollout), where we found proofs of where else it was being used, but doesn't have any promotional intent.

I don't mind if this goes back into draft form (my hope was to get more bufferbloat project folk to jump in anyway), but knowing the most constructive path forward to re-publication. For example, I'd wanted to point to the git codebases for the apple, ios, openbsd, ns3, etc versions but had not got around to it.

The fq-codel page definately needs a theory of operation section (pulling at least some from the existing codel page), and I hope to get a copyright release to use a couple graphics from one paper or another. I'm also working to clearly relicense bufferbloat.net's contributed content on wikipedia friendly terms.

I'm not sure if I can pull text from rfcs in wikipedia either? What's the process for a man page? Someone else entirely had created a "common applications kept enhanced" cake page and that got pulled for copyright reasons on tc-cake.

Somehow a lot of good documentation on other linux subsystems has made it into wikipedia!

Concern regarding Draft:FQ-CoDel 2[edit]

Hello, Dtaht. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:FQ-CoDel 2, 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) 12:59, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:FQ-CoDel 2[edit]

Hello, Dtaht. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "FQ-CoDel 2".

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. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:58, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
