I've been working on an article and would like to have it scrutinized for validity and potential COI, considering my experience with the subject's parent company. Should I jst post something in the Teahouse with a link, or would the right experts find it based on this message? It's at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Scalapaedia/subpage

Publication through wp:AfC is the best option for new users and users who feel they may have COI. Just put {{subst:submit}} at the top to submit it for review. Happy editing! Happy Squirrel (talk) 18:53, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say the quality of the sources could be better. For example, The DSSV damper design has also been popular and successful among teams competing in international-level endurance races - that statement cites three sources, but all three are Multimatic press releases. While it's unsurprising that they say their own product is "popular and successful", such a claim would need independent verification. A good place to ask for more specific help, beyond submitting it for a review as Happy Squirrel suggests, would be the talk page of a relevant WikiProject, say WT:WikiProject Automobiles or WT:WikiProject Motorsport.

Standardized heading capitalizations[edit]

As you can see from Wikipedia:Writing better articles capitalising each word in a heading is the opposite of the standardised wikipedia practice. Please discontinue such edits. --Falcadore (talk) 09:53, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Multimatic DSSV (July 6)[edit]

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

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Multimatic. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

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:Multimatic DSSV and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
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 get Wikipedia's Live Help real-time chat help from experienced editors.
