User talk:JGFages

Welcome!
Hello, JGFages, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

 * Dear Jimfbleak
 * Please note that the page List_of_optimization_software lists more than 30 other mathematical solvers. Most of them being commercials. The page Comparison_of_optimization_software lists 19 solvers, 14/19 being commercials.
 * Yet they are in wikipedia, which is good because all those pages are interesting and consulted by (every) master students, phd students and engineers in Computer Science. It may not be so interesting to you but it is useful to the scientific community.
 * When creating the page Choco_Solver, I only completed this list by adding a (non profit) free and open source solver used by the Constraint Programming community for decades. The tone of the article was formal and descriptive, not promoting, as it is common in science. I took care to include peer-review international journal sources. Of course, I am open to any suggestion of improvement.
 * Could you please explain me why this particular solver should have no place in wikipedia when others definitely do ? Is it only because of my name ?
 * Beyond this first article, why blocking me ? In a previous message you asked me to write in my sandbox, which I did. Someone else moved it to the article section (proving it was relevant I would say), but what have I done wrong to be blocked permanently from editing ? JGFages (talk) 11:15, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

If you leave a message on this page, I will only know you have done so if you start it with my user name, User:Jimfbleak and sign it with four tildes ~ when you post it. That will send me an alert.

I blocked you because I posted a message regarding COI which you just ignored and reposted essentially the same content. If you are not prepared to declare a pretty obvious COI, that's not good.

Also read the following regarding writing an article:


 * 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 the 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 the 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 unsourced, and of the refs you gave, three were by you or Prud'homme, and the fourth was another primary source. We need independent third-party sources, not stuff you've written.


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


 * Since then, the solver has evolved to improve both performance and code quality. so you say, but like the rest of your text, nothing to support this.


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * 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.

The fact that other articles have not been deleted doesn't help you, either they met the criteria or should be deleted as well. See What about article x?. Also note that many articles would have been accepted before the notability guidelines were made stricter.

You said  I can easily understand that you do not care about mathematical solvers, but I claim that the Computer Science community does my views or those of the "Computer Science community", whatever that is, are not criteria for notability as linked above. Real facts with proper sources are.

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.
