September 2020
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:David Horn (biologist), from its old location at User:Flib1999/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Nathan2055talk - contribs 18:48, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

AfC notification: Draft:David Horn (biologist) has a new comment
 I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, '''Horn is notable, but, since this is your only contribution, and since it is written in exactly the format of a press release, it is reasonable to ask  whether you are a connected contributor, in which case you must declare the connection. Please see our rules on Conflict of Interest  If you are writing this for pay or as a staff member of the organization, see also WP:PAID for the necessary disclosures.

Hi, sorry I'm not sure if I should respond here. However, I can promise I am not writing this page for money or any purpose other than to give biological researchers that do not have one, a wiki page. Is the format of a press release inappropriate? Should I change the format? Thanks Flib1999 (talk) 18:25, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

An encyclopedia article is not PR. Make sure the article contains the full sequence of degrees and positions, with dates; a complete list of books published, with year, date, publisher, ISBN (referenced to WorldCat), and links to published reviews of them; and, (in thesciences) the 5 most cited peer-reviewed articles, given in full with coauthors, full name of journals, and links, with the number of citations to each of them; any national level awards--(not junior awards or awards from their own university) Add major outside positions, such as president of major national organizations, and any positions of editor-in-chief ; Membership or minor offices in most societies, and service on editorial boards, do not count for much & are better omitted. Very sparse articles attract skepticism. as do those using vague claims and superlatives, or those that list all possible internal and external committes.
