I see you are the founder of ProtoGenie
I hope you understand that Wikipedia is not to be used in any manner to promote your product/service, and that it has to be notable before it will receive an article here. You may not be the best person to write this article because you are heavily involved and have a conflict of interest. It tends to be very difficult to wrote a neutral article about one's own products. You may be unusual and be able to, but experience tends to prove otherwise.

My advice is first to read WP:42, then to find references that meet those tough criteria, and then to rewrite your article entirely. Base it around the references, not around your knowledge. Fiddle  Faddle  19:17, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Draft:ProtoGenie concern
Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:ProtoGenie, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:38, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
