Wikimedia Stories ProjectHello, My name is Victor Grigas, and I'm a storyteller at the Wikimedia foundation. We're telling stories of Wikipedia users, editors, donors, programmers and staff to paint a picture of who uses Wikipedia - for the 2011 fundraiser. I am in the process of planning a trip to India to gather stories from Indian Wikipedians in face-to-face interviews (possibly on video). My primary goal is to conduct 15-20 interviews, and hopefully enough of my interviews will make compelling stories that will effectively solicit donations from the public. These stories may also be used for other communication purposes by the foundation. I found your userpage on a list of prolific Wikipedians and thought I’d reach out to you. Prolific editing is always a good story to tell! If you are interested in participating, please contact me via my email: vgrigas@wikimedia.org Thank you for your time! Victor About me: I have been a Wikipedia editor since 2005, and have a background in film, video and audio. My userpage can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Victorgrigas Your submission at Articles for creation: Benchling (February 18) This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time. The comment the reviewer left was:
Not satisfying our main policy as what's here is simply too suggestive of what they advertise to clients, and the sources (wherever published) are still clear business announcements and mentions; overall, a company whose young age is barely 4 and only has the largest attention for funding and support, is not notable in our 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 when they have been resolved.
