welcome
Thanks for message. You should never have two versions of a draft, you should move pages, not cut-and-paste, which messes up the history.

I note that your very first edit was to create a long article. If you have a conflict of interest, you must declare it.

When you write about a topic


 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to an organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what a company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls


 * Most of your text was completely unreferenced, and the few sources you did give seem to be closely associated with the project, rather than independent third-party sources.


 * It's not clear to me that this topic meets our notability criteria, but it definitely can't do so without full referencing to independent sources rather than its advocates.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.


 * The whole text is basically a promo for the project with lots of examples but, as far as I can see, no independent analysis of outcomes to justify the claims made. O


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * Your text is littered with external links, but you have no wikilinks beyond the first paragraph, not even breadfruit or Hawaii


 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.


 * I didn't check, although the creation of 12 kb of text in a single edit with almost no refs or wikilinks is concerning.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article.
