Dow Corning

How about getting the Dow Corning article a higher resolution version of the logo. See Exxon Mobil or Apple, Inc. where we have an svg file that has unlimited resolution. Svg files store the image as vectors that can be scaled to any size while retaining resolution.

That's a great tip, thank you!

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Connor Group (March 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Spinster300 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.

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:The Connor Group 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.

May 2025

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts (but never when editing articles). There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Valorrr ^{(lets chat)} 02:12, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I think I see the issue – my original post was signed (after the sources list), but I didn't add another signature when I edited to add the edit COI template at the top. (I read years ago that best etiquette is to wait a day or so after posting a request before adding to the queue; honestly, I'm not sure if that's still the case, so let me know if I'm mistaken.) I can sign a second time when adding the template in the future. Thanks for flagging! Mary Gaulke (talk) 02:30, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Thank you for your work. For now, the draft is not being accepted. The subject may be notable but tone edits in accordance with neutral point of view are needed. I read the sources and some of them have good passing mentions but some are just mentions about the subject. Before submitting it again - Please check WP:STYLE and WP:TONE. Also, as mentioned by CNMall41, it still reads like a promotion. If applicable, check WP:COI.

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.
