 J.D. Hanawalt, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

You cannot just change format
To @Nittany XRD

You have to follow the format used by Wikipedia, you cannot add things like a Table of contents, Introduction etc. Also you cannot have vast amounts of white space, or "Insert Figure X" here. Pages must remain readable "as is", so you need to do edits slowly preserving the readability. Have people contact me directly if needed. (I have not reverted your edits, but was tempted to and someone else may.) Ldm1954 (talk) 14:56, 15 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much Ldm1954. As you can see, I am new and learning the proper way to do things on Wikipedia.  However, I am representing a group of esteemed colleagues from the International Centre for Diffraction Data.  We have actually been working on editing this page off-line for about a year.  We think we have made great improvements to the text, but I need to learn how/what images we can use.  the "insert figure here" is just a placeholder for myself until I figure that out.  I hope you can help me! Nittany XRD (talk) 15:13, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If you go to your user page, i.e., I have created a Sandbox and in that Sandbox/PXRD with a copy of what you had. Please edit this, and when you think it is in reasonable shape then ping me and I will have a look and help with editing. You can check my user page at @Ldm1954, some of the people at ICDD probably know me (Warren award from ACA & chair of IUCr CEC for some years). Ldm1954 (talk) 15:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
