Thanks for the welcome!

One question for you about filling in the Edit Summary Field. When editing public pages I have filled it in, but when working on my draft article I have not done so for minor edits (I mark the Minor Edit checkbox instead). Is this an advisable practice or should I fill it in even for minor edits?

Your submission at Articles for creation: Origin Materials (August 4)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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:Origin Materials 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.

Hello, SnosajSE! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Theroadislong (talk) 07:19, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Therodislong. Can you an example or two where portions of the article read like an advertisement? In the article I attempted to write it fact by fact, with sentences which connect to one another for continuity. Also cited a variety of sources for validity reasons. Will definitely visit Teahouse and get some help, but would appreciate additional input as you are the one who reviewed it.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Hello, I saw your comment and would appreciate feedback or clarification. This is my first article and I condensed it quite considerably from the initial submittal, and restructured it to more closely follow the information in the references. Can you provide a sense of what needs to change here? Is it too long? Wondering if the history section just needs to be excluded. Would appreciate any guidance. SnosajSE (talk) 03:36, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ldm1954, please see question above. Thanks. SnosajSE (talk) 02:28, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that you look at WP:WikiProject Companies to get an idea what is acceptable and what is not. For instance, you can look at some of the articles that have been nominated for deletion to see what not to do. Similarly look for small companies of similar size that have been approved. You could also (perhaps) ask a question on their talk page talk page. I am not a member of that project, so I cannot be sure that they will help but it is worth a try.
