User talk:AntoBeck

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was DNA sequencing, 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 our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Help me

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hello, thank you for your message. I have found the section I was editing that has been removed. I have read the links on trying to get the section edited/proofed/checked before I resubmit it. I can leave just the specs and facts within and leave the advantages and disadvantage sections blank for other people to enter. Would that suffice? Thanks for the help.

Can we assume you are referring to the table entry you've prepared in your sandbox at User:AntoBeck/sandbox?

The fact that you work for the company whose products you are writing about must be disclosed on your user page and possibly the talk page of the article you are contributing to. Disclosing in edit summaries is also good.

I'm going to leave the {{help me}} batsignal alone, since at first glance your question requires some technical expertise to answer that I'm not sure I can muster. Another editor may be able to give you more definite advice. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:28, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AntoBeck thanks for your question. The system of submitting for review is for entire articles, not sections of articles. Feel free to place the table in the article, and then leave a message on the article's talk page to declare your conflict of interest and to explain the change you made and why. That way other editors can review the change knowing the whole story. Cheers, Flat Out (talk) 03:35, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (July 5)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Article is simply a table - the subject is not clearly identified & only has a single source.

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 User:AntoBeck/sandbox 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:AntoBeck/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
