Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 01:15, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Awork (Software) (June 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 Rambley 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:Awork (Software) 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, Max Raschke! 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! Rambley (talk) 14:30, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello Rambley! First of all, thank you for taking the time to review my submission!

I appreciate your feedback regarding the article’s tone and sourcing. I am committed to improving the draft so that it meets Wikipedia’s standards for neutrality and notability.

To address your concern about sourcing, I would like to note that only one out of the 29 sources in the draft is based on content produced by the company itself, and that reference is used solely for describing the company’s stated mission and values. All other references are independent sources.

Would you be able to clarify which sections or statements you found to be particularly promotional, or where you feel the reliance on independent sources is insufficient? Specific examples or suggestions would be very helpful as I work to revise the article.

Thank you again for your guidance and for helping me contribute to Wikipedia in line with its policies.

Best regards, Max (another Raccoon fan) Max Raschke (talk) 15:59, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Some examples of the promotional tone mentioned:

"The software is designed to support organisations with teams of 10 to over 100 employees, and is particularly focused on businesses that require close, ongoing collaboration with clients and frequent integration of freelancers or external partners. Its features are tailored to help these businesses manage multiple projects and clients, coordinate distributed teams, and maintain flexible, transparent workflows."

"awork operates in a competitive market alongside several other project management software platforms."

"expanded its operations and funding"

In terms of sourcing, it looks alright; we use templates when declining drafts so parts of the reason may not be applicable. When writing articles, it is best to not write them as though you are promoting a business; write them from a neutral, third-party standpoint and base all article information from what is detailed in reliable, secondary sources. Rambley (talk) 16:17, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks Rambley, I'll make sure to review and update the draft according to your feedback! Max Raschke (talk) 09:47, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Awork (software) (June 15)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
• reliable
• secondary
• strictly independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

While the title says software, the description and content reads and applies more like the corporation/company behind the software; per WP:NCORP, notability through thin outside primary resources.

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:Awork (software) 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.

Paid editors

As a paid editor you are expected as part of your remuneration to abide by all of the rules. You are paid to discover, learn, understand, and implement all relevant rules, policies, and procedures. Further, you are paid to write neutral and correctly referenced prose which passes these criteria. This is an amateur project. Amateur editors do not generally feel the need to assist paid editors to receive their pay.

I am not averse to good paid editors. If you can write good, neutral, well referenced prose as a draft and submit it for review and acceptance, and receive payment for doing so, then good for you. I welcome you here

However

If you want to use the WP:AFC process to submit your draft more than once, thinking in your error that we will help you get paid, then you have another think coming.

If you are unable to create a draft that requires more than one corrective review, then I do not welcome you here. The only advice I will offer will be within my reviews. I will not otherwise help you to get paid.

If you create your draft as a live article or move your draft to become a live article, then you will discover that this is agaisnt the terms of being a paid editor. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 01:17, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Awork GmbH

Hello, Max Raschke. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Awork GmbH, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months.

Your draft article, Draft:Awork GmbH

Hello, Max Raschke. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Awork GmbH".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:14, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
