Hello, Nick Levinson! Having an article 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! Legacypac (talk) 01:01, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
This is an error. I did not submit an article for creation on this subject. I had been editing it until I was ordered to edit contrary to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and falsely accused of misbehavior that did not occur, the nonoccurrence visible in the edit history to anyone who looked. I was ordered to edit so that, inter alia, apart from a few basic facts, only negative content would be in the article regardless of sourcing, the premises being that positive content, regardless of sourcing, could be at the organization's website and therefore could not be in Wikipedia and that someone saying positive things about the subject organization, even though sourced, must work for the organization and therefore must have a conflict of interest in editing the article. I still refuse to edit the article so as to produce a POV and I have no COI on the subject and never did. An accuser refused to discuss the article at the article's talk page (I copied some of their posts to that talk page but they did not participate there). I refused to edit against Wikipedia and subsequent edits to the mainspace article, some of which individual edits were neutral or helpful, have resulted on net balance in a substandard article compared to what had been in mainspace, which was much more thorough and appropriately so (I was told that schools articles are supposed to be short but that's also contrary to Wikipedia's policies/guidelines as they do not differentiate lengths by subject). Ironically, my versions were generally better at reporting negatives about the organization than other editors' revisions have been since I stopped editing.
If only one editor could submit an article for creation and it wasn't me, you may want to find out who did submit the article for creation and contact that editor. The time periods should be restarted accordingly. My watchlist shows that you submitted it on the 27th one minute before declining it but I presume that submission was a technical step and so you may want to contact whomever proposed moving it from user Canoe1967's userspace as a new submission.
I would be happy to have the draft moved into my userspace, where I can mark it so that it is not visible in Google, so that the editing history remains available for copyright purposes, and so that editorial content including sourcing is available to other editors.
I have proposed an article for creation, but it's about a bank, not schools.

Don't worry about this. It's an automated message. I found an old draft and thought it worth investigating, but since the subject already exists, I stopped work on the draft. Legacypac (talk) 20:11, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
