Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, John.gardenghi. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Algencan, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:17, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you respond to this? I have restored Draft:Algencan. Jay (talk) 14:01, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much. I will improve ans try to ressubmit. John.gardenghi (talk) 14:45, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You are welcome. My question really was do you have a conflict of interest with Algencan as asked by user DoubleGrazing. Jay (talk) 15:02, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, sorry. I am new to editing in Wikipedia, I didn't notice the question. No, I do not have any conflict of interest. I am not being influenced by any external factor. Futher, I am not expressing my opinion, but only facts. Finally, I am writing about an optimization software that I use and also contribute (it's open source) that is missing a page here in wikipedia.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Algencan (July 24)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

No proof that this is notable, based on the sources.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Algencan and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Algencan, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Dear @Clearfrienda,

I am resubmited this draft, trying to clarify and cite the main points you indicated.

Nevertheless, I would like to clarify that according to https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Augmented_Lagrangian_method, Algencan is one of the few available software that implements an augmented Lagrangian method; and it has a book, published by SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) dedicated to it. The main Algencan's paper, published in 2007, has more than 400 citations, according to Google Scholar, with applications in several different areas, such as Chemistry, Engineering, Physics, and Computer Science. Needless to say, with all our respect, this is much more than most of the other optimization solvers that possess a wiki page. John.gardenghi (talk) 20:05, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Algencan

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

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:45, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Algencan (August 26)

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

The draft was previously declined because it references did not show that Algencan satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The only references added since then are documents published, as far as I can see, long before Algencan was issued, so they can't possibly contribute to showing notability of Algencan. (I have also done my own searching for suitable sources to provide as references, and unfortunately from what I have seen Algencan does not see to satisfy the notability guidelines.)

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Algencan and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

A request for clarification

Above, in the section headed "Managing a conflict of interest", you said "I do not have any conflict of interest". Obviously, in the context that should mean that you do not have any conflict of interest in the sense of that term which is briefly summarised in the message from DoubleGrazing, and described more fully in Wikipedia's guideline on conflict of interest. It is important to be clear what that sense is, since it differs somewhat from ways that the expression "conflict of interest" is used in some other contexts. To avoid any doubt, please give an unambiguous answer to the following question: Does any of your writing on Wikipedia refer to your own work, your colleagues or collaborators, work of your colleagues or collaborators, or anyone or anything else to which you have any other personal connection?
