Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

OK, we will take another look through it and re-submit.Ch2017 Ch2017 (talk) 17:10, 18 January 2017 (UTC) I want to note that this content is in the public domain since this is an article about a government agency, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, which is part of the U.S. executive branch. We plan to state "according to" in many places and make some other changes, but could you please tell me what parts exactly that you felt were copyrighted? Again, this is information in the public domain. Also, after I submitted for review, the page entirely disappeared from my sandbox. How do I get it back to edit it again for another review submission?[reply]

Also, I want to make clear we are not creating a new page but revising the existing one.

Revising ARPA-E section header

I have been coordinating with the ARPA-E staff to revise the section on the ARPA-E page at https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/ARPA-E

The section says: ARPA-E and EERE[edit source]

ARPA-E was created to fund energy technology projects that translate scientific discoveries and cutting-edge inventions into technological innovations, and accelerate technological advances in high-risk areas that industry is not likely to pursue independently. It does not fund minimal improvements to existing technologies.[6]

Here's how we'd like to revise it:

ARPA-E was created to fund energy technology projects that translate scientific discoveries and cutting-edge inventions into technological innovations, and accelerate technological advances in high-risk areas that industry is not likely to pursue independently. This goal is similar to the work of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (and link to EERE’s Wikipedia page), which advances clean energy projects according to established roadmaps. ARPA-E does not fund incremental improvements to existing technologies nor roadmaps established by existing DOE programs. (EERE).

Updating the Acting Administrator name for the Office of EERE

There is a new acting assistant secretary for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) named Daniel Simmons. I would like someone to replace Steve Chalk's name, who is currently listed on the EERE page as acting assistant secretary, with Daniel Simmons. The footnote, which goes to the current org chart, can remain. Would someone from the community kindly make this change? The page is https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Office_of_Energy_Efficiency_and_Renewable_Energy

Thank you.

Creating a new biography page

Hello:

We would like to create a new page for a Nobel Prize laureate. I am going to post the text to my sandbox and would appreciate an administrator reviewing it, letting me know what revisions to make, and posting it. I will provide the link shortly. Here it is: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:Ch2017/sandbox

I really appreciate the help and guidance.

Your draft article, User:Ch2017/sandbox

Hello, Ch2017. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

Your submission at Articles for creation: Robert K. Dixon (October 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Heavily promotional and what we only need instead is claims of significance his position is that of a state-level, government-level or similar to suggest it's significant and also, considered a significant figure in his field along with the relevant evidence for it. Additional improvements to emphasize any of this are certainly welcome.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
