Thank you for your responses. I'm afraid I am not a regular contributor and do not have a registered account. As an English translator, I was asked by my colleagues at the French finance ministry to help find out what the problem was with the English draft. I am not trying to get anyone to take sides, I simply resubmitted the draft after being told it would be accepted and was then trying to find out why it had been declined again. The reason I didn't respond for several weeks is that I have been on holiday from work and I was waiting for a response to the new submission. I will ask my colleagues at the French finance ministry to try and amend the draft and will not bother you again with any more questions.

Hi Robert. thank you for reviewing my article of TISYA TEEZY who is originally known as DAVID MUTUKU MUTISYA.I have removed the unreliable citations and the last statement that brings contradictions. Nearly all of my sources consist of local based platforms may not be considered as reliable sources. Please review the changes and advise me.
First off, thank you for taking the time to do what you do, I can see you spend countless hours keeping wikipedia the reliable and trustful source that it is. I can see you contested the publishing of a page I submitted for Robert Harding Picture Library, there was something mentioned about advertisement and external links, although I was unsure as to what exactly was being asked? Please let me know what in particular is needed to get this page published? It is not for advertisement or the sale of any items. Thank you so much for your help with this.

Hello, "This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. " Being an 'orphan' article does this imply that there are no other links or connections to any other articles relating to Z.A. Wnek? If that is the assertion please refer to http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygmunt_Aleksander_Wnęk which is the result of untold man-hours in research and effort to achieve its current status. Mr. McClenon, if indeed the assertion that Zygmunt Aleksander Wnęk is still an 'orphan' article please advise how best to introduce the link/connections you cite. As stated previously, I am a complete novice and am finding it difficult in negotiating the 'Find Link tool' which is not that helpful. Thanks for your time!

Hi, Mr. McClenon, I relieze that you have high standards for Wikipedia and I am trying really hard to add the footnotes but i have no idea how and i have gone to every resource you sent me and youtube as well. This article is a tribute to my grandfather John Furth who helped me pay for schooling so i could improve on some personal things. I would really appreciate it if you could post it so that at the Forth Of July celebration I can surprise him. I am totaly fine if you edit it on your own but I have no idea how to do it on my own. Thank you so much for reviewing my past two submissions.

The NBC News stories are published on their YouTube channel but only retained on the NBC website for a limited time. May we reference the Youtube NBC news channel as a source?

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Southern Levant is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Southern Levant until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Hi, thank you for your feedback of my first article. I was unaware that using trademark signs was a violation. I'm a bit surprised that the article was rejected, as I followed almost EXACTLY other Wikipedia pages for ERP solutions like SAP ERP, Oracle Corporation and Deltek to name a few. I actually read almost every ERP Wikipedia page before writing this article.
In any case, I've removed the trademark symbol and would request that the reviewer take a look at other ERP pages for comparison against this article. My article is no different, follows the same format and sections and history of each of the other ERP pages.
I do understand the rejection though and would suggest that someone (if not me) write an article about Momentum as it manages almost the entire financial process of the United States federal government. (billions of transactions)

I was trying to offer advice to the author, which is that if they overwhelm the reviewer with unreliable references, the reviewer may not check the reliable ones. While I agree with you in the abstract, I also would advise authors to take advice that recognizes that the reviewers are human beings. If an author was told that they have too many unreliable sources, and they add new reliable ones after the long list of unreliable sources, they are only half heeding the advice. I didn't mean that the reviewer was fatigued, anyway, just overwhelmed. Robert McClenon ( talk) 14:59, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

I also have a few questions about edits that have been made to my page by Jim.... I see that he removed the Trademarks and Registration marks from some of the brands I mentioned.

Robert McClenon , I am a current communications intern for the company. I have read the COI and fully understand and have included my paid editing disclosure at the top of both my main user page and talk page. I have included several magazine and new articles from outside sources to the newest draft version I sent in for approval. I also have made sure the content is very non-bias, and very informational about the water industry. I don't know if you received my other note on my talk page, but here it is: Robert, I truly appreciate your time contributed on Wikipedia. I am learning a lot with Wiki as I have been drafting this page. I think Wiki is a great platform where others can learn just about everything. Hence, why I have drafted a page about the water industry. I am an intern for my current role in the company, so I am just here to learn as much as I can. This Wiki page is just a step in my learning process. I don't expect you to "help a paid editor" get their page approved, I understand that is not your responsibility on Wiki.

The main references relate to the subject's life period 1895 to 1975 with career period 1918 to 1955, it took a lot of effort to collect these and there would be more but at this point of time - these are the references available.

I don't see that "Please provide a proper lede sentence of a form such as "Syed Najmul Hassan Karavi was a Pakistani Islamic scholar and author" or something like that." is a sufficient reason to decline an AfC draft--especially since the article aleady contained an adequate lede "Syed Najmul Hassan Kararvi, caste Shia, sect syed was a scholar of Shia Islam.

Hey, I was wondering if you could talk to a new user who is actually a meatpuppet. I recently started an AFD on another new user's article, and the new user brought in a friend of their's to create an account to support their side of the debate.

Dear Robert, Thanks for your note re: canvassing. I am aware of that clause and have been extremely careful not to canvass.
The page i have created that s being discussed for deletion <Chamba Chukh> is something being discussed quite widely in our community in Himachal offline. I have in fact contacted my friends who are also from the region to NOT edit the page and also to not get onto the discussion board. however if they do, they should expressly specify that they know me and should state that upfront in the interest of complete transparency.
I will ask them to refrain from entering the conversation entirely, if that is more desirable. I can put forth their arguments through my own Username, if that is preferable. I am trying specifically to learn the etiquette of the wiki community to avoid such mis understanding, before doing too much.

Did you mean to put DRN in your comment here? Regards, TransporterMan ( TALK) 14:13, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I saw your comment on DRN that you will have to close the discussion if the other parties do not comment soon. My concern is even though the IP was notified multiple times in the first round of talk page discussion and DRN, and chose not to participate, he came in shortly after and contravened the compromise Rms and I had reached, and then when I created the second DRN request, he hasn't responded to it (I notified him on every IP he's used), but a week or so after you close the DRN, the IP will return and revert again now that semi-protection has expired. So, I am not sure what the next step would be when this happens, I've never gone beyond DRN, is it RfC, or is it the Mediation Committee? Or do you think this case qualifies for the Original Research noticeboard? An IP that constantly reverts, but won't participate in DRN, does that qualify as edit warring and should I take him to ANI/3RR for it when he resumes? Is that going to be helpful with someone with a dynamic IP that can't really be blocked?
Also, I'm a little wary of interacting with [email protected]. At times he seems interested in compromise, but also seems eager to back out of that compromise given an ounce of encouragement, and I see he has been blocked 11 times for personal attacks and edit warring, he seems to have a history of being a difficult editor and I'm loathe to get crossways with him. He has edited the page with a compromise solution, which is to put Vera and Maris in a "Disputed 'unseen characters'" section. While my first impulse was to wholeheartedly embrace the compromise and be done with the whole thing. But then I realized that labeling these characters as "disputed" but not providing any reliable secondary sources that actually call them disputed runs afoul of WP:WEASEL; the only people who dispute their unseen character status are a couple of Wikipedia editors, so we're still stuck in original research territory. I feel like I should point this out, but the guy has already attacked me and accused me of so much, I feel like I have to walk on eggshells around him lest he take my objections to his compromise as some kind of antagonism. I'm at a loss for the best way to handle this. Mmyers1976 ( talk) 14:29, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
Hello. I'm writing because I don't understand why my entry on China Rapid Finance was rejected. The only feedback received 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"
In fact, my brief article was neutral in tone and included 13 citations of "independent, reliable, published sources" including the South China Morning Post, Bloomberg, Financial Times, TechCrunch, Crowdfund Insider and other relevant sources.
Given that just about every fact in the entry is attributed to independent sources, what else do I need to do to have the entry accepted for publication?
Thank you.

Cullen, I'm really grateful for your offer to help and comment.
I am not associated with the company I'm writing about.
I am new to Wikipedia. From from your comments in Talk regarding my article, I undersatnd that it is insufficiently written to be accepted. To qualify, it must provide information that can be corroborated by a reference that is (a) judged to be reliable by Wikipedia, (b) independent of the company being described, and (c) judged to provide significant coverage of the statement made in the article.
If you can please confirm that I've understood your comments clearly, I will then go ahead and rewrite the (first) draft of the article carefully.
Now that you have tagged the second draft for deletion (thank you!) what steps should I take to actually have it deleted?
With heartfelt thanks
Dagumpf
Thank you Robert, the article is not yet ready for submission.
I'll take some time to rewrite it, taking into account the comments kindly provided by you and Cullen.
When it is ready, I will request (a) that one draft is deleted, and (2) that the other, re-drafted article be formally submitted for review.
Thanks for your detailed explanations and patience.

Thank you for reading the article I submitted recently, and for your input and suggestions regarding its rejection. I'm new to Wikipedia, and I made the careless mistake of trying to cut and paste a document into the Wikipedia format. I'm sorry that much of the information was poorly formatted, some sections a little too long, and didn't contain proper footnotes. I will attempt to correct these errors and resubmit an article in the near future (I may even recruit an acquaintance who has written some articles to help me out). I do believe my subject, Michael Frimkess, is a significant artist worthy of a Wikipedia entry, and deserves to have a thorough and accurate biography along with his peers.

Your statement that the phrase "I forbid anyone to disagree with me!" was a quote from me is false. Michael has been saying I said that, though I never did (nor did I say any variation of that phrase, nor even imply it). Michael doesn't seem to be lying about this, as he's never said it was a quote from me, either. Rather, it appears to me that he was presenting it as his interpretation of what I was saying, incorrect as it may be.

I appreciate your suggestion to close the ANI that was opened against me, but it ignores that fact that the entire ANI is a harassment of me because I am a woman. That is unacceptable. I could not, in good conscience, encourage a woman or girl to engage with Wikipedia after this. It is "gamergate-ish" - the way that (presumed) men piled on to find fault. I will be leaving Wikipedia, and have advised others of that. If women are attacked for being women, this is not a place to be. The ANI should have been closed long ago.

Robert- you were kind enough to help me with a dispute resolution board filing last month, which other editors rejected. One of your suggestions was to file a request for formal mediation. That was also rejected. Another suggestion was to get input from a noticeboard. I was wary because I've seen a lot of postings that get little or no response. I used a somewhat provocative heading to get attention, but tried to make sure the actual request was neutrally worded. It's here, still ongoing. Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard#Does NPOV apply to gun articles? My question is about what happens once the discussion dies down. It doesn't look like noticeboard discussion get any official closing, like RFCs do. My concern is that editor on the talk page will reject any outside input, saying something like, "that doesn't affect us", in which case it would have been a useless exercise.

Hello dear Robert McClenon. First of all I wanted you to know that appreciate your neutral stance and advises on the Noticeboard. I appreciate your recommendations. My I ask for your neutral (or personal, or unofficial, or whatever) opinion on something that has bothered me? As a kinda-novice Wiki user, even after 5 years of Wiki activity and contributions, I am not sure how exactly could handle this myself. More specifically, lets say tat it happened that an editor with whom I was in a dispute with until very recently, has now assumed bad faith of my part and I do not know how to react/respond to that. Can you tell me in a unofficial lets say, level, what what could you have recommended to someone being assumed of Bad Faith, to do? I am thinking, just ignoring the Bad Faith comment is just the best and most appropriate thing to do. But even if I ignore this, it is my first time I am assumed of bad faith of my part and I feel unsure on know how to handle it. I could appreciate if can you let me know what, logically, the other editors could have done in my place? (and yes, I am aware of what it is: WP:BadFaith). Sorry for your time, and any advice could be greatly appreciated. -- SILENT RESIDENT 12:01, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

I've edited the Vensim draft to make it less promotional, per your flag. If you have any further suggestions, I'd appreciate a pointer to particular language that's problematic.
Looking at other items in the List of computer simulation software, they're generally less encyclopedic, but have not been flagged as promotional. For example, the Wolfram_SystemModeler page uses self-citations almost exclusively and the Anylogic page practically gushes over its own virtues. I think it's intrinsically difficult to describe a commercial product without mentioning features that could be construed as promotional.
Thanks for your time - much appreciated.
Hi Robert,
I was wondering if I could ask you for some advice on my submission that you recently declined. You stated you felt it was promotional rather than neutral and I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of where you felt it was leaning towards promotional rather than informative.
As for your comment on most of the references being from the company itself, I did get the information on their product's names off of their website. Each product has its own page on the website, so I thought I was just being succinct in getting all the references from where I got the information. The information in my submission, besides the products name, almost entirely came from other sources rather than their own website.
For instance, I look at 3M's Wikipedia page and the majority of their products do not even have references, and it states a citation is needed, should I omit the references since they are from the company's page itself? Should I omit the list of products itself?
Even so, 3M's page has 3M's website as a reference for the products they do have references for.
Is the point you are trying to make that I should be looking for sources outside the own company for reference on their products?
Any advice you have towards my questions, or in general about my submission, would be very helpful.
Thanks

The RfC on Unseen character isn't going that well. It started out fairly well, but there is a new user named Handthrown (just registered July 29, 2016) who has joined in and is being disruptive. His/her comments are long and rambling, stray well outside the scope of the RfC, unsurprisingly for someone so new betray a complete lack of understanding of policies like deletion and no original research, and what's more persists in making sarcastic comments about me. Another editor has warned this person that this is not helpful, and I have warned Handthrown to maintain civility and stick to the question raised by the RfC, but he/she persists in disruptive comments, and it is derailing the RfC. I collapsed the off-topic discussion with the breaches of civility in it, but then realized as an involved editor it was inappropriate for me to do so, so I reverted myself.

Hi Robert, I am somewhat baffled by the question of how to write and navigate thru Wiki. I understand the feedback that I was given that the article for Burton Edelson was inadequately documented leaving too many questions open. At this point, I despair of ever learning the semantics and protocols of wikipedia. Is is it possible to hire an expert to do the research and the submission? Would that be frowned upon? What started as a fun project is, now that I'm about 12 hours into, another nasty chore full of confusion and frustration.. I'm sure a good researcher who knows wikipedia could do it in 2-3 hours. Is such a person findable?
This communication with you is an example of the problems that I face. Is editing source code the right way to respond to your kind invitation to answer a question? It feels wrong.

I tried to insert some photographs of the robot but anytime I tried to upload the photos some abuse filter does not allow for this. Unfortunately there is also no article for acoustoultrasonics the NDT method used by this system to somehow link it. I could write an article regarding acoustoultrasonics on a second stage.
I have asked about your AfC declines of drafts as "duplicates of another submission which is also waiting to be reviewed" before. You decline drafts for that reason even when the duplicate is not in fact waiting to be reviewed, and even when you yourself agree that the submitted page is the one that should be reviewed, not the other one, as you did here. I find that extremely unhelpful, entangling the AfC process in more red tape than necessary, and in red tape that may well be beyond a new user's abilities.

Hi, I am a new editor in here, and as one of Uk Museum's placement student from China, I am not very familiar with Wikipedia UK, and may I ask some confused questions in here? I am a bit confused why the Wikipedia UK doesn't allow an independent article of " snuff box" exist? In my sense it's a notable cultural stuff in European cultural art.Here are many different styles of snuff boxes in my placement museum, they include both aesthetic and practical value, and I also found an independent article “Snuff bottle” which refers Chinese snuff decorative box in Qing Dynasty. Qing Dynasty is a similar historic period with Victorian period,it seems both snuff bottle and snuff box could represent both different special cultural sense and similar cultural link together. Also in my placement museum, here are some touched snuff boxes'stories with soldiers.For example, here is an interesting Highlanders’ Regimental tradition adopted by General Wemyss about recruiting the new soldiers. The General with a “snuff mull” in his hand and followed by an attendant with a bottle of Whisky, went down the ranks, and to every young man that he wished to enlist he offered snuff. This signal was perfectly understood, and the young man would step out of the ranks and take the snuff and his dram while the clerk recorded his name.Another example is a rectangular tontine silver snuff box which has four hinged compartments for snuff. On the lid is an inscription explaining ownership, which was the last remaining Officer on the list who was serving with the Regiment.It's normally considered this box is belonged to four different regimental officers who purchased it together, and when an officer died in the battle, the others kept it until the last keeper. It stands for a precious friendship of these officers. So why do you highlight the art value of snuff bottle, but ignore the same value of snuff box? Thanks indeed for read my long questions, looking forward your reply, and have a nice day! Iphigenia
Hi Robert,
thanks for your comments on the article for Austrian pianist Cornelia Herrmann. As suggested by Pax85, I did change the wording (in order to avoid copyright problems). He said that was the most important thing to improve. I have done that. I have also added two more references, an article in an American newspaper and an article in a music magazin called 'Una voce poco fa'. There was no need for major changes in the references. May I say that I really find it confusing that one person tells me one thing and then other people say other things. I have changed the article many times now and, in my opinion, it really does fulfil your criteria. Thank you, all best Hmm2015 ( talk) 09:42, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Almost all the others either came from WP:FTN to offer brief comments, or were SPAs/possible socks trying to eliminate the Hall content. The issue is simple and straightforward, so I think WP:DRN is appropriate. I do not want to do an RfC because editors from FTN (who mostly do good work, and I am not casting aspersions) will vote in a bloc, skewing the result. I've also generally never found the RfC process to be good for anything. Everyone has already been notified of this discussion and offered initial comments. I hope you will consider just going through with the process. If not, I will list it at WP:M. -- Sammy1339 ( talk) 15:11, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi
Viking River Cruises changed their corporate structure when they launched Viking Ocean Cruises. They created a Parent company called Viking Cruises.
I'm trying to distinguish the difference between Viking Cruises (the Parent) and the 2 Subsidiaries: Viking River Cruises and Viking Ocean Cruises
Once the Viking River Cruises page is created, I can move all the specific Viking River Cruises info (Fleet specs, Itineraries etc) to this new page. And then make the Viking Cruises page just about the corporate structure.
Thanks! 2015Cruiser ( talk) 20:51, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Hello Robert, you reviewed this Draft:Maryam Elisha before and after I reworked on it, you said it passed notability but still left it for another editor. It was reviewed by User talk:SwisterTwister and rejected based on notability. Again, I have reworked it and added more reference,all of which are of reliable sources. I haven't resubmitted it though. Could you please look through it and advise me? I do not want it rejected again. Thank you. Zayzeeltd ( talk) 01:15, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

I created a infobox for the American Cochlear Implant Alliance. It was my understanding that I needed to create this in the sandbox so that I could then link it to the wikipedia page that I created on the same topic. The infobox was rejected because the draft consists only of an infobox, and has no references and because the draft has no text. The text is the wikipedia page I created and it is still waiting review. ( /info/en/?search=Draft:American_Cochlear_Implant_Alliance_Foundation). I'm not sure how to link the infobox with the article and I'm not sure how to resolve the issue of the infobox being rejected since it was designed to be on the wiki page. I would greatly appreciate any help/suggestions.

I have to say I didn't appreciate your tempest in a teapot comment at Katie's talk page. You know how contentious the issue has been on the Unseen character talkpage even before the RfC, hell, even before I got involved. You know that we reached a compromise consensus in the DRN, only to have that compromise consensus immediately contravened by the IP who hadn't deigned to participate in it, which was very frustrating, which was why I started RfC at your recommendation. You know I came to you with concerns about Handthrown's sarcasm and comments which were out-of-scope to the RfC 19 days ago. You dismissed the concerns then, said it was my fault for not having a survey, but then when you put the survey in, her tendentious editing, refusal to get the point, and digressions from the focus of the RfC, if anything, got worse. I'll own that both my initial response in Handthrown's AN filing and my ANI filing against were borne out of my frustration with how protracted what should be such a simple issue has become, but that frustration built slowly and is well-earned, and Handthrown's behavior has played no small part in that. Maybe this did blow up more than it should, but I think that could have been avoided with some reigning in of Handthrown 19 days ago. And yes, I filed the ANI while I was very frustrated, but many people come to ANI like that, with something that feels more personal to them than it would to an uninvolved person, and for Wikipedia to allow uninvolved non-admins to pile in and mock people who file ANI reports (this is apparently something at least EEng if not the others in my ANI have been doing habitually), it's appalling that it is allowed to go on without action by admins, it's guaranteed to escalate conflict, not resolve it. I know you had nothing to do with that and don't have any control over that, but after being piled on there, to stumble on you belittling it "behind my back", as it were, was salt in the wound. I mention all this because I've had occasion to see you in action many times and you always seem so measured and reasonable, avoiding even the hint of snark, and I've always respected you for that, so this seemed out of character.

Hello Mr. McClenon,
I started editing some Wiki pages on "Vibratomes" and "Microtomes," and moved to create a new page on "Precisionary Instruments" because there is already one for "Leica." However, my draft was declined, and I revised the article for "Precisionary Instruments" to now have a neutral tone that only states facts, and removed any language (to the best of my ability) that make it sound like an advertisement. In addition, I followed your recommendations to include more peer-reviewed publications that reference Precisionary Instruments, and included these published sources. I also deleted most of the links to the company's website so that the article can have its neutral tone.
I would like to request a re-review of the article, and make any additional revisions if necessary. Once this is completed, I would like to write an article on "Campden Instruments," which is another biology company that makes vibratomes.
Thank you!

You recently re-reviewed my article on Michael Drapac, and declined it for lack of significant coverage. I don't see how this is possible, as he has been covered in dozens of notable and respected publications and has numerous articles on his works in real estate, investment, and professional cycling. I only cited 14 sources because that was all I needed to write the article, but there are dozens and dozens more.
You also accused me of trying to "game the system" but not changing anything before resubmitting it. I left three different messages on the previous reviewer's talk page about two weeks apart basically begging for some insight as to what more I could provide to get this article approved and each message was ignored. That's why it was resubmitted without altering anything - I can't see what else needs to be provided in order to prove his legitimacy. He's the co-owner of one of the most successful professional cycling teams in the world (Cannondale-Drapac) and created Australia's first pro cycling team (Drapac Pro Cycling).
Can you please provide some more insight as to why this article was declined and what more I can provide in order to prove his notability and get this article approved? Kfidler0823 ( talk) 20:21, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Back in February of this year, I attempted (as a new editor in an unknown area) to help out with the Reseller Ratings case, which I botched because I didn't even know the 5 pillars. Since then I have read of a lot of Wikipedia policies that could help me at DRN, and was wondering if I could join back up (the first time, User:TransporterMan sent me away until I knew at least something about policy).

Hi, thanks for your recent review of my article on Stormpath, Inc. Prior to my resubmitting, I was wondering if you can give it a quick once over to see whether it meets the required standards now? (This seems better than resubmitting repeatedly.) I think there should be adequare independent sources now, and all the ones that were not sufficiently independent have been deleted (along with associated content if no independent source was available).

Hi Robert Thank you for your comments on the draft page for Christopher Slade. Rather than Christopher's history with the Pioneer Corps, it is his role as Administrator of the Displaced Persons camp at Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp, a position he held from around September 1945 to June 1946, that is of primary interest. It was there that Christopher was awarded the Vatican Medal, and there that he came into contact with Marlene Dietrich. Paul Ossura ( talk) 05:50, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your review. You left a comment saying that "There doesn't appear to have been significant third-party coverage". I'm not sure if I understand your comment. The article is based on peer-reviewed published papers, but describes the cryptographic protocol in a way that is more accessible to common readers. The subject is on E2E verifiable voting, which should be of interest to many readers ( /info/en/?search=End-to-end_auditable_voting_systems). The DRE-i protocol is the latest development in the E2E verifiable voting field, in that it shows for the first time that an E2E verifiable voting system can be "self-enforcing", namely without needing any trusted tallying authorities. This advancement has been recognized by the ERC independent reviewing panel in the award of a 1.5m euros ERC starting grant on "self-enforcing e-voting" ( http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/106591_en.html). The protocol is also featured on the ERC website ( https://erc.europa.eu/erc-stories/towards-next-generation-e-voting). In the past I've contributed several wikipedia articles on cryptographic protocols based on peer-reviewed papers (AV-net, DC-net, YAK, J-PAKE) and they are well-received by the readers. I have enjoyed my editing experience with Wikipedia and being able to contribute to this community. I couldn't see how this one is different. Does this mean articles on cryptographic protocols based on peer-reviewed papers are no longer welcomed by Wikipedia? Are peer-reviewed papers from recognized publication venues no longer considered sufficient independent sources? I have also had a look at a few other existing E2E voting system pages on wikipedia including Bingo_voting, Prêt_à_Voter, Punchscan, Scantegrity and ThreeBallot. I have carefully read those existing pages, but I still couldn't understand what is missing in this declined article. Your guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks for your review, Robert. Could you please advise if which are the specific areas we need to revisit - say introduction/ reference/ gallery etc? Looking forward to hearing from you and I'll further edit the draft.
