Hello, MichaelJM. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Draft:JSM Statistical Significance Poster Competition, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:07, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: JSM Statistical Significance Poster Competition (October 20)

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

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at American Statistical Association. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This article use only one website of the subject of the article I.e www.amstat.org, but is repeated 25 times. Zero independent sources. So this competition should have section in the main article American Statistical Association.

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:JSM Statistical Significance Poster Competition and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Format of dates for a living person

For your information, at the top of a biographical article about a living person, Wikipedia does not use the form "(year -)" but the form (born year). An article about me, for example, would start "David Siegel (born 1960) is a ..." and not "David Siegel (1960 -) is a ...". This is just a heads up. Also, as per WP:DOB, only the year, not the exact birth date, should be used of living people unless the full date has already been widely published, or published by the person him- or herself, for example on that person's personal web site. I hope this is helpful. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 19:32, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
