Main article, etc.
Dear Jim: I could see why you didn't want all that stuff on your talk page, but I would prefer to communicate through Wikipedia. I am the chair of an upcoming major conference, and I am getting more e-mail than I can keep organized right now.

I am sorry to say that I don't know anything useful about "Main article" The best place to ask is the Tea House. This is staffed by people who like to give advice and are experienced editors. I'm fairly new, myself, still learning the ins and outs, and I ask questions there regularly. There is no need to be embarrassed about it - Wikipedia is quite complex and not always logical, and even editors who have been doing it for years come across new quirks.

I think that the article you are making will be better for the fact that the information is being explained to you. You seem to be getting good advice, which mainly seems to be keep it simple. Most Wikipedia readers are just regular people, and an article doesn't need a lot of technical detail, just an explanation of what the subject is in clear language. The more detail you put in the harder it is to get the article accepted, because its harder to get everything properly references.

By the way, you mention quoting from another Wikipedia article. Remember that most articles are a conglomeration of many people's work. There is no one person to quote. Also, you shouldn't use Wikipedia to source itself. You can refer to other article by linking to it with the square brackets, and you can add the other article in a "See also" list, or you could say "For more information about _____ see the article Blablabla". Most of this is my own opinion, but it is Wikipedia policy that reviewers don't count other Wikipedia articles when they are checking for sufficient references.

Any way, try the Teahouse for your technical questions. Good luck. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 04:58, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for your email. You are encouraged to work on Stan (software) to improve it, rather than your Draft article. There is no deadline here, so you can work on it whenever you have time. JMHamo (talk) 22:32, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

I would like to keep my draft as a summary of my research and potentially cut and paste pieces of it into the official Wikipedia article on Stan.

The additional time has given me more perspective on my own writing (I cringed at some my own stylistic elements). Jim.Callahan,Orlando (talk) 23:19, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I have moved your work to your User space here User:Jim.Callahan,Orlando/Stan Modeling Language, which you can use to improve Stan (software) JMHamo (talk) 23:27, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
