Hello, Janborup. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Needed to remove your mention of Ginj from the Comparison of screencasting software page
- Hi, thank you for making edits to the Jing (software) page and the Comparison of screencasting software software. Unfortunately, I did remove your mention of Ginj, though, because it doesn't yet fit into the Notability guidelines for being included in Wikipedia. Information included in Wikipedia needs to be verifiable and that usually is through some independent mentions of the software in media or other sites. It can't just link to the software home page. Once the software has some usage and there are articles about the software, then it can be incorporated into Wikipedia. As a former user of Jing many years ago, I'm delighted people are working on an open source replacement. As soon as it gets some visibility and usage and can pass the WP:N and WP:V tests, I would be glad to help you work it back into Wikipedia! - Dyork (talk) 21:46, 14 July 2020 (UTC)


 * If it is any consolation, I'm not adding mention of TechSmith Capture yet to the Comparison of screencasting software page for the same reason. There need to be some articles out there talking about it for it to pass the WP:N and WP:V tests. It does have the advantage that TechSmith is promoting it as a replacement for Jing, so odds are at some point there will be some articles out there talking about the product. - Dyork (talk) 21:59, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Ginj is verifyable
Hi

The Ginj Project is verifyable at the http://ginj.info/, so I don't understand what is missing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ginj_is_not_Jing

I have tried to make a Wikipedia page about the Ginj, but I cannot find out how to change the Draft to a Live site, so I have give up.

/cheers


 * - In Wikipedia, when we talk about verifiability, it is that someone else is talking about the topic (such as Ginj) other than the creators. This page on Reliable_sources explains more about the types of sources that are acceptable. So you really need to have other people writing about Ginj in order for it to be included. For instance, if you can get some media sites about open source or free software to write about Ginj, then those articles might be able to be sources that could be referenced. Does that help explain the situation? - Dyork (talk) 22:03, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi I still do not understand.

>someone else is talking about the topic (such as Ginj) other than the creators

I'm someone talking about the topic, I'm not the creator of Ginj, I only think it's a great project at a respectful replacement for Jing, that deserves others to know about this, because TechSmith has terminated Jing today, even that TechSmith had promismed it will continue running after the 14 july 2020.

 * - I understand the confusion. Maybe this page about what Wikipedia is NOT may help. Wikipedia is not a place for individuals to provide their opinions, views, etc. What you are writing is original content. Yes, you are pointing to someone else's site, but it is the main site about the software. In Wikipedia's world, your writing is "original research" and the software's main site is a "primary source". It is maintained by the creator of the software (even if it is a GitHub repo).


 * What is needed are some "secondary sources" that are reliable sources that talk about Ginj. This could be in the form of media sites writing about Ginj. It's "someone else" writing about the software on some other site that meets the "reliable source" criteria. NOTE - if I were to write an article on one of my personal blogs, it would not meet the "reliable source" criteria as my blogs are not well-known. On the other hand, if I wrote an article about Ginj that was published in the Linux Weekly News, that would be different because LWN has been around for decades and is a reputable media source. Wikipedia articles need to be verifiable by "secondary sources", i.e. articles on other sites that are about the topic.


 * Once a topic such as a software program has multiple "secondary sources" mentioning it, THEN it can be included in Wikipedia. So for Ginj to be included here, either on another page or having its own separate page, there need to be other articles out there on other sites writing about it.


 * Does that help? - Dyork (talk) 01:22, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
