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)[reply]

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.

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.

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)[reply]
