Not suitable for Wikipedia. This appears to be taken from a collection of essays, which may or may not be copyrighted (I've been unable to verify this). The tone is not suitable for an article in any case, appears a case of using us as a web host. Mdann52 (talk) 09:45, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps I don't understand the function of my sandbox. I thought that this was an area where I could develop an article and, upon completion, submit it for review. Why is Mdann52 even looking at my sandbox? The current state of my sandbox is a work in progress and not intended for anyone but me. But here is what I am doing: Wikipedia does not have a detailed article on Josephson Voltage Standards. I am expert in this field and, as an employee of the U.S. Government, I have written a detailed review of the field that was published in the Review of Scientific Instruments. As a contribution of the U.S. Gov. this publication is not subject to copyright. Before starting this project I confirmed with Wikipedia that I could use this paper as the basis for a Wikipedia article. My first step was to paste the RSI paper into my sandbox and begin editing and updating from there so many things that you may see in the sandbox will not be in the final article. Mdann52: What exactly is wrong with the tone?? EE483597 (talk) 20:06, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. EE483597's explanation is perfectly satisfactory. However, EE483597 please note: a) user pages are open to examination just as much as any page and there are numerous reasons why they can be deleted and b) you have been working on this for five months; if you do not publish soon it is liable to be nominated for deletion for using Wikipedia as a free host. Note that the final article, if accepted should be called Josephson voltage standard - note capitalisation and singularity. (A glance at the deletion log will show you that user pages are far from immune!) &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:37, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - I have been working with helping this new contributing editor understand that formatting that is necessary to make the references consistent. We are also working together to draft a message to post on the talk page of the sandbox-draft article to explain his/her connection to the topic. In all my communications with EE483597, I have noticed the lack of anything that he/she has written expecting wikipedia to be a free webhosting service. As far as I can tell, and I am one of many science editors, this topic is quite notable and would be a very valuable addition the encyclopedia once we get it formatted. As for taking five months, it appears to be quite technical and may require more time to get it polished and to resolve COI issues.

 * Comment - User EE483597 has described his/her connection to the article and the topic in general on their talk page. I am satisfied that this editor is editing without a conflict of interest and since his/her research related to this topic was just a part of a larger group of authors and editors, the draft (soon to be article) meets the COI and original research guidelines of WP.

 * Keep. Appears to be a perfectly legitimate use of userspace by a productive Wikipedian.  Please don't interfere with other's userspace without good reason.  WP:SLAP the nominator for the "may or may not be copyrighted" bit.  Don't nominate another's work with a serious allegation like that without evidence.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:59, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
