Request on 08:27:49, 8 September 2014 for assistance on AfC submission by Fintpcontributor
Hello! I am writing to you related to the FinTP Project page that has been declined from publishing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:FinTP_Project

I would like to state that this page should not have been declined from publishing because it aims no commercial advantages. Its purpose is to define and describe an open-source community, having behind a non-profit association, developing the FinTP open-source project. We cannot call this blatant advertising, as no commercial advantages are aimed. It is purely informative, as this is the first project of this kind in FinTech in the world. Surely, because it is the first, there are not so many independent sources writing about it, but people should be able to find out about it, just like they do about Linux for example, because this project has international relevance and it is meant to achieve financial harmonization between diverse and even geographically dispersed areas. This project has the purpose of attracting industry professionals to volunteer to enrich and fine-tune an application that can be used in many scenarios, spanning from providing financial inclusion for the unbanked to automating business flows of banks and financial institutions at large. Its distribution license being GPL v3 we do not see any reason why this cannot be the subject of a wikipedia article. Please let us know what paragraphs do not comply with some of wikipedia's guidelines. If pages like Fedora are on Wikipedia, I don't see why the page of a new open source project cannot be. Please advize, fintpcontributor

FinTP contributor 08:27, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I understand your questioning, it isn't that because there not many sources for the article the main reason why it was declined was because at the current state the article reads sounds like promotional literature, even if it is open source. So it does need some major rewording in a lot of the article to be able to come to Wikipedia standards. But if you still don't believe my review was correct you can ask another experienced editor to take a look or resubmit the article again. Also another tip is that you should make the references inline reference WP:IC for more information about that. Also if there are any news publications you can include that as well. Having inline references help other contributors and readers to verify the accuracy of the information and as well know what those references are pertaining to instead of having them in a list format as it is currently. Also you may want to take a look at the Manual of Style on how to organize your article so its a lot easier to find items and things in the article, you can find the Manual of Style Policy's here, for general policy WP:MOS and MOS:COMPUTING for software and other computing articles. I will let you know if there is anything else I can think of. If you have any other further questions feel free to message me back. --Clarkcj12 (talk) 05:15, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Edward H. Meyer, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages BAT and Merck. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular. The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered. If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.) If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with. Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors. I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC). Sent via--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
