Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

I tried to add a reference to a journal article (under "Reinforcement Learning"). The accepted article (2010) discusses a reinforcement learning algorithm applied in a fixed arm robot system. Although the reference added does not violate Wikipedia's Conflict of interest or the External Links guidelines, it was removed. Since I see under "References" of the term similar information to mine (a list of references to related journal papers) I'm asking for an explanation for the removal.

Proposed deletion of Stockato


The article Stockato has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Notability not established

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. heather walls (talk) 07:20, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Kartoun, unfortunately number of Facebook fans does not count toward whether an article topic is notable. On the notability guideline page it explains that "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list." If you don't find these sources someone may come along and nominate your article for speedy deletion which is harder to deal with. If this is confusing, come visit the Teahouse question forum which was started to help support new editors. Best, heather walls (talk) 16:31, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Heather, I added another reference to Stockato - it's an upcoming article at a 15,000-circulation magazine called IMPACT (published in the U.S.). I reviewed the Wikipedia notability guidelines. Within the context of notability and "worthy of notice", I find the guidelines as subjective. Thanks, Uri


 * Sometimes it does seem that way. Check out this page on referencing, you need to add citations to the info in your article. :) heather walls (talk) 19:01, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Wow! It means that you are O.K. with keeping what I wrote. I'm so glad! I added citations and I'll be glad for any additional feedback. Thank you, Uri.


 * That is not exactly true. I still think you need to come up with some reliable sources, Facebook and an upcoming article will not qualify for that. I am also not the only one looking over pages, and someone else can come along and tag this article for deletion until you resolve it. heather walls (talk) 21:11, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

There are two more articles which I mentioned as references - at a magazine called "Hedge Fund Alert" (the journalist is Howard Kapiloff), and another coverage by author and journalist Jack Miller - an on-line recorded 35 min interview. The following weeks are expecting to be exciting and hopefully Stockato will receive additional coverage. Cross fingers.

Speedy deletion nomination of KneePh


A tag has been placed on KneePh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Promotion
Hi Uri. Please do not use Wikipedia to promote your company or your inventions. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for information to be referenced from reliable, third-party sources, not a promotional tool. I have listed the Stockato and KneePh pages for deletion. Jujutacular (talk) 23:27, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jujutacular,

The Stockato Wikipedia term exists for more than 3 years now. It contains references to the USPTO, to Tradestreaming, and to The Ben Gurion University of the Negev. Have you looked at the references? The KneePh Wikipedia term requires a bit more of a work from my side as it is relatively new.

Read again the terms - they contain no promotional materials. Only public facts are presented. If there is a promotional content then go ahead and remove it. Please don't delete the entire terms.

Best,

Uri

Conflict of Interest Guidelines
Hello Kartoun, I see above that you have already been made aware to not use Wikipedia to promote yourself and had some delete discussions where this was an issue.

However I don't know if you have been made aware of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline.

This boils down to:


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

I am pretty certain that this guideline also applies to research topics/projects to which you are one of the main contributors, as MELD-Plus and Text nailing. Please also note that Wikipedias notability guidelines require significant coverage of the subject by independent sources (not by you, your research colleagues or affiliated institutions). I cannot see that for the articles mentioned above. I kindly suggest that you find such coverage, as otherwise they may be proposed for deletion as well.

Finally, while it is generally acceptable to cite your own work (within reason), I'd advise against adding new content to articles to then support it with a citation of your own work, as you did at IBM. Again, if you think it is relevant, propose it on the talk pages of the respective article (as explained above).

I'll be taking a bit of a Wikibreak now, so it may be a bit until I answer any responses - if you need more clarification on this, I'd suggest visiting the Teahouse page were you can informally ask anything.

Averell (talk) 06:34, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Dear Averell23 - thank you for the information! I was not aware that it is not allowed to edit my company's page. I won't do that again. Note that I added 5 external references for press coverage at the MELD-Plus page.

Journal of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Journal of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... disco spinster   talk  21:46, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Uri: I added 2 refs. It's a standard journal that appears in PubMed.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Journal of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice


A tag has been placed on Draft:Journal of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.journals.elsevier.com/diabetes-research-and-clinical-practice. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Uri: not sure what copyright material you are referring to. "Journal of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice" is just another medical journal that is indexed by a governmental resource, PubMed. Most medical journals are listed in Wikipedia so I'm not sure what is the source of the resistance for not including this journal as well.
