Conditionelle
Could you please provide sources for the article Conditionelle that you created? Wikipedia requires that content have verifiable, reliable sources, and I was not able to find any information about this topic to verify your additions. Thank you, — Swpb talk contribs 22:39, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The form is newly listed in The New Book of Forms, by Lewis Turco. Thus, no other citation is, as yet available.

Proposed deletion of Conditionelle
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Conditionelle, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Neologism, unreferenced. Fails WP:N and WP:VER

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. andy (talk) 18:27, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jerrold L. Patz
A tag has been placed on Jerrold L. Patz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

'''JERROLD L. PATZ article is under construction. PATZ is a founder of modern IT industry. Further academic discussion of his contribution will confirm his biographical and idustry significance. This is not a vanity/fluff article about an ordinary individual! DO NOT DELETE.''' If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. L.

Jerold L. Patz is notable for designing the first integrated data system for school systems in Massachusets, so innovative and efficient that the Massachustts legislature codified its use statewide, passing legislation that became the model for an increasing number of states. His importance can be verified by indexing Massachusetts legislation. As I am not adept at creating Wikipedia entries, I can only initiate/suggest the inclusion of this person. To summarily, speedily delete the entry? Is not Wikipedia a process of the public offering of notable information which those who administer and edit then review and accept? It is beyond me to develop this entry correctly to the high standard Wiki should expect. I can only leave it to others to develop the entry. Axelrodthepoet (talk) 01:32, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Fences and windows (talk) 01:28, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

private discussion and advice
if it is not improper, I would appreciate a discussion with you via email. I would appreciate your expert advice. Dr. Axelrod Axelrodthepoet (talk) 09:52, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Nothing improper about email communications, just my experience being they bring nothing, because in the end only what's discussed in the open can influence the content of the encyclopedia – so I stopped doing them, in connection with Wikipedia that is.
 * I removed your explicit email address: emails can be sent via the "Email this user" link in the list on the left of user pages. Showing a direct email address is generally avised against here for unexpected consequences (abuse/spam).
 * If you want to address an editor somewhere else than on their talk page use ping. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:03, 3 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Guidance such as WP:GNG and WP:COI allows Wikipedia editors to be as impartial as possible. When you feel impartiality was lacking there are venues like WP:COIN and WP:OTRS that try to address such issues you may have as impartial as possible.
 * Regarding the broader point, Wikipedia's expanding "influence and power", well that's something that attracted some press attention, e.g. this piece – feel free to think along. Good and neutral/impartial guidance on how to edit is however a key asset to manage this. Suggestions for better guidance are welcome too of course, in the appropriate places (that is the places where decisions are made to update guidance, like WP:VPP). --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:40, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!
Typing as I am, on a cell phone, typos as likly may appear like illiteracy. Still, I hasten to reply. My career was established over 50 years side by side with colleagues of sufficient notability that they are included in the Wikipedia. I do not feel competitive with them. Yet, I know my industry and my level of expertise. I know, old as I am, that, for my remaining productive years, those working with me or seeking information about me, may still find information in Wikipedia to be useful. Who stands the "test of time?" Consult me in 100 years about whether I am sufficiently notable. But I would be grateful if you put the entry about me back into consideration so others may correct and complete the information and you who make a final derermination, can come to a proper conclusion.

You got your draft back
Draft:David B. Axelrod now exists, and needs work (better referencing, etc). before being submission worthy. Editors were of mixed opinions as whether the topic (you) will end up meeting Wikipedia's idea of notability. As it exists now, the references are not correct format, Sources is not a valid section, Selected publications is preferred over a Bibliography, the Education content needs a citation (your ref #4 is not about you), needs a Career section, delete minor awards, and so on and so on and so on. See Tony Hoagland as example of an article about a poet. David notMD (talk) 12:19, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, and on your User page you should declare that you are contributing to an article about yourself. as this is clearly a conflict of interest WP:COI. David notMD (talk) 14:30, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks if the draft is available for others to edit. It is absolutely not my intention to write, rewrite or edit my own entry. Having acknowledged my mistake in trying to add a detail, I certainly don't want to chance the storm of criticism like that which followed. If the draft is accessible to the public, I will trust seaoned editors and contributors will resolve technical issues and provide details sufficient to justify inclusion in the encyclopedia. I, however can't see the path that allows others to edit the entry. It is present below for me to view now. Is there a single link or series of steps that someone other than myself can view and edit the entry? As soon as possible, I'd prefer to exit any direct involvement with this process. Thank you.

 * Clicking on Edit at the very top allows any editor to edit the entire article. Clicking on Edit to the right of each section title allows any editor to edit that section. This draft is not yet submitted for review and will remain unsubmitted until it is submitted, accomplished by clicking on the blue rectangle. Minimally, you should fix the refs and declare your COI on your User page. David notMD (talk) 02:51, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The original creator of the draft has long ago stopped editing. You are the person who should work hardest to improve and then submit this draft. Yes, it is about you, but as long as you declare COI, not prohibited. Greatest weakness is references. Clock ticking - if the draft is not submitted in six months it will be deleted.
