I just took a look at your sandbox
editThank you for contacting me on my talk page regarding the article draft that you have in your sandbox. You certainly know how to grab the bull by the horns and you are not afraid to create something monumental! There is a problem with the reference as you pointed out in your post to me. What I would like to do is to go into the wiki-code and try to reformat the references into a little more of a coherent arrangement. Then I will be back to post another message on this, your talk page. Best Regards,
- I think it would be best to discuss your sandbox page here in your own talk space. Your message to me (I think it was you) got garbled up and mixed in with someone else's message. I was concerned to read your most recent message about how this sandbox page is about your own research. Is that true?

The article I am working on is a review article of work by many researchers as evidenced by the 115 references. 18 of the references have my name (C.A. Hamilton) in the author list because I was (I am now retired 15 years) a major player in this field. Most of the figures were created at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) in the group that I worked in but they are representative of work done in many standards labs.2601:281:8100:B0B6:345F:6591:C22D:11C9 (talk) 00:36, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Your article
editHello again! Leave another message here so we can talk about your article. One thing that I need to now is if you conducted the research that this article is about. Best Regards,

My Contribution
editThe page under development in my sandbox is a summary of research done by about 100 people over a span of 35 years. The enabling discovery for the whole page is that of Brian Josephson (Nobel Prize in Physics 1973). It is fair to say that I made a substantial contribution, like many others, to the subsequent research based on Josephson's discovery. Does that disqualify me to create this page? 2601:281:8100:B0B6:AC68:C94A:8A96:A1FC (talk) 17:54, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
Response to announcement of deletion
editEE483597, another editor believes that your article in your sandbox should be deleted. I have not looked into the discussion at this time. But I will be. Best Regards,

- Sandbox pages and draft pages are quite often reviewed, patrolled and flagged for deletion. I work in the Teahouse helping new editors and recommend that they back up their drafts and sandbox pages on their own computers in case the pages get deleted unexpectedly. So that is my first piece of advice. Back up your draft offline. The next step is to provide information on the talk page of the sandbox article and explain in detail your connection with the topic and its research. All contributing editors must be very transparent about their connection an article or even editing so that all can see that the article or draft is free from bias or conflict of interest. I'll stay in touch with you during this review. In the meantime, keep working on the article. Best Regards,

My connection with this article
editI am a Phd electrical engineer. I was employed by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), now the National Institute of Standards (NIST) from 1971-1999. NBS began developing Josephson voltage standards in about 1970. About 1977 it became obvious that theoretical and micro-fabrication advances could make possible a greatly improved Josephson standard (JVS). A joint NIST and PTB (Germany) effort realized this improvement in 1984. I joined the program at this time with the goal to develop new hardware and software to make the new standard easy to use and widely available. Similar efforts were under way at other national standards laboratories. I retired from NIST in 1999 and started a small company (VMetrix, LLC) to continue support for JVS users. The goal of my Wiki article is to tell this whole story with considerable technical detail. I am starting with a review paper that I wrote for Review of Scientific Instruments in 2000 (a U.S. Gov. publication not subject to copyright). I am updating the information in that paper and converting to Wiki format. I have found this to be quite time consuming and since I don't have a lot of time to work on it, it is taking a long time. Given the criticism about the time, I propose to finish an initial article covering the subject up to 2000 and then add more recent advances as time permits.

Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
SpinningSpark 20:25, 29 September 2015 (UTC)I noticed that there was a draft of a totally unrelated article in the page history (something about capstans). I assume this was a draft that you overwrote while the article was in your sandbox. I deleted those versions from the page history before moving the article to mainspace. I assume that you do not want this material, but if you do, just let me know and I will put it in your sandbox. SpinningSpark 20:34, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
JVS layout image
editHi there, you uploaded File:Layout of a 10 V JVS Chip.jpg and in the description you said you created it using a CAD program. This type of image is much better stored in a vector format like SVG versus raster graphics like JPG, PNG etc. If you still have the original file, could you possibly export it as an SVG and upload it here? If you need any assistance, let me know! If you have the original file but not the time to do the export, etc, you can send the file to me or upload it somewhere and I can take care of exporting, uploading, etc.
