Please don't use Wikipedia articles to promote your own works. Vsmith (talk) 00:48, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added your 2013 American Scientist article to the reference section of the article for now. May use it to redo portions of the article in the future. Vsmith (talk) 01:16, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (May 19)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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:

Fails WP:GNG - requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Information contained within the article needs to be referenced with inline citations - see Wikipedia's guide to referencing for beginners.

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 when they have been resolved.

Ice Segregation[edit]

Your draft article needs to be written in the form of an encyclopedic article not a scientific essay. It sounds like this is a topic that really interests you and that you feel that it is insufficiently covered in the existing articles on the subject. Whilst I am not familiar with Ice segregation or Needle ice, given your comments on my talkpage maybe a starting point would be to add to the existing article on the subject rather than creating a new article. When there is sufficient information on this matter it could then be hived off to form a new article. You also need to provide more that just a single reference as it appears that some of the wording may have been directly taken from that source, which is a potential copyright infringement. In addition the information should be referenced via inline citations - see Wikipedia's guide to referencing for beginners. I hope that this advice helps - good luck and happy editing.

There is an existing article on ice segregation. FloridaArmy (talk) 13:01, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
