Hello, I'm Annh07. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Annh07 (talk) 13:22, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Annh07, I'm quite new here so I need to check how to undo it. The cluster itself is also cited in the German Wikipedia and on the German Page of the KIT. On google scholar you can already find about 300 publications related to the cluster and there is also a webpage of it showing that it is associated to KIT. 3DmicroPrintExpert (talk) 14:10, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi 3DmicroPrintExpert. Looks like you restored the content and added sources to it. Citing sources is very important, it helps verify the information you have provided. Learn more about WP:VERIFY and WP:RELIABLE, it will help you understand how to contribute content to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Annh07 (talk) 16:06, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Nanoscribe moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Nanoscribe. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Broc (talk) 14:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, 3DmicroPrintExpert. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Nanoscribe, 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• 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. Broc (talk) 14:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Broc,

thank you for your comment and concerns. As I stated on my profile, I am a chemist working in the 3D printing field in academia. I wrote this article because I have prior experience with Nanoscribe's technology and am impressed by its capabilities. I believe one needs to be an expert in this field to properly assess the significance of such technology. Despite my familiarity with Nanoscribe's technology, I strive to maintain a neutral viewpoint, having also worked with other devices in the past. As a German, I utilize both the German and English Wikipedia platforms. I noticed the absence of an English Nanoscribe Wikipedia page, prompting me to seize the opportunity to create one. Given the effort I invested in this article, I would appreciate your assistance in adhering to the guidelines more effectively:

Could you please clarify your statement regarding copyright concerns? I have made efforts to cite sources thoroughly, often utilizing multiple sources for reference. I have consulted the guidelines regarding sourcing and have endeavored to include external sources wherever possible. Additionally, I have only referenced a handful of sources from Nanoscribe's website, opting for approximately 40 sources from other reputable pages. Clarification on this matter would not only assist me in editing this article but would also benefit my future contributions, as I plan to continue contributing to articles related to technology in the 3D printing field.

Thank you for your cooperation and guidance. 3DmicroPrintExpert (talk) 15:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! From the way the page is written, it reads like an advertisement and that's the reason why I moved it to the draft space; I do not have any copyright concerns. For instance, statements such as "is the global market and technology leader in microscale 3D printing", supported by two press releases from the company itself, is a merely promotional statement. Please make sure to support your statements with reliable sources (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources). Press releases are not reliable sources independent of the subject; they can be used on a Wikipedia page but claims such as "being market leader" should be recognized by a third party.

This was just one example, the whole article has similar problems. The page is now in the draft space, you can work on it and submit it for review once you think it is written from a neutral point of view and uses reliable, independent sources. If you want me to review the page once it's submitted, just ping me (using {{ping}}) on your talk page and I will have a look. Otherwise you can wait for another editor to review it. Broc (talk) 08:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

@Broc I have revised the introduction to maintain a neutral tone. Additionally, I sought alternative sources beyond the press releases mentioned, discovering an ebook discussing various companies in the 3D printing field, which I believe provides valuable insights. Furthermore, I came across an interview featuring a project leader from another company discussing their prominence, although I have refrained from using the term 'market leader.' Additionally, I have rewritten the 'Industrial mastering' section to maintain neutrality. Even after reading the article again I think the rest of it was already from a neutral point of view. Thanks for checking again for me! 3DmicroPrintExpert (talk) 14:55, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

If you want an official review, you'll have to press the button "Submit the draft for review!" on the page.

I added a few tags in the lead section so you can better understand the issues I see. You should generally avoid puffery, i.e. avoid terms like "significant", "notable", "prestigious" and so on.

If you claim that there are "more than 4,000 users", the statement should be supported by an independent source. If you don't have an independent source, you could rewrite the sentence, for axample, as "the company states it has more than 4,000 users". In this case using the company website as source would be perfectly acceptable. I hope this helps. Broc (talk) 10:47, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@Broc Thank you for your advice! I understood if I got sources that indicate they are the market leader, I could write something like "a significant role." So do I understand it correctly that there shouldn't be positive connotations even when there are sources for it? I removed it anyway and submitted the draft again. 3DmicroPrintExpert (talk) 15:01, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

If a reliable, independent source states the company is market leader, you can add it to the page. The source you quote is a press release from a company that signed a distribution agreement with Nanoscribe, not exactly an independent source :) Hope it's clear now. Broc (talk) 15:08, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thank you for your response. I found a publication instead of the source. Submitted the draft again. 3DmicroPrintExpert (talk) 14:36, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

No worries. If you don't mind, I will let another editor review the article, so you can get a third opinion. Broc (talk) 07:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Broc, I was wondering if you could review the article for me, even though you said you wanted to give me the opportunity to get another opinion. Or if you know anyone in the Wikipedia community in my field who could volunteer for the task? With the number of drafts growing, I'm a little worried that no one will review it. 3DmicroPrintExpert (talk) 06:12, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
