I am writing an article currently entitled Bruce Burdick, designer. It may evolve into an article called 'the Burdick Group.' My possible conflict of interest is that I worked for Bruce Burdick and the Burdick Group on several projects: the Creativity Exhibit, The Aramco Museum, a proposed Eames exhibit, the Philips evoluon, and very briefly on the Samsung headquarters exhibit. This connection ended more than 20 years ago, Burdick is dead and his firm folded in 2000. That closeup look is what convinced me that a Wikipedia article is in order: that his projects were serious, original, responsible and imaginative. I worked at another exhibit design firm later,and the contrast was striking. I am a partisan, but my own personal interests will not be affected one way or another if this article finally sees the light of day.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:• uw dgn burdick.jpg.rendition.2880.1620.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot ( talk) 10:00, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Uw dgn burdick.jpg.rendition.2880.1620.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 01:30, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Basgar, I add the "promising draft" "tag" to the draft. This will extend the life of the draft if it happens to go unedited. Normally drafts are deleted if they go unedited for six month (clock starts ticking at the last edit). This will extend it for a year from the last edit so if you take a break it gives it more time. It also adds it to a category which may or may not gain attention from other editors. In worst case, if does get deleted any editor (you are an editor) can ask it to be undeleted but that is extra step so best to keep it around. Of course the goal is to get it accepted but I would rather that extra padding exist than not. S0091 ( talk) 21:13, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

CNMall41 ( talk) 14:36, 30 March 2022 (UTC)I admire your COI disclosure in the beginning. These types of things makes editors such as myself willing to help out as much as we can. Great topic by the way. I left some comments on the talk page for friendly advice. Cheers!!-- CNMall41 ( talk) 14:55, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi Basgar, the article has passed the biggest hurdle and now is open the world! Thanks for obtaining the photos of the exhibits. I really do believe they help readers better understand his work. I noted your statement on the talk page about inviting "interested parties" to cut some of the article. A couple of considerations that may be helpful in those discussions/decisions. While the article is technically open for anyone to edit, those with a conflict of interest should not edit the article directly. Yours is distant enough I do not consider it a strong COI but someone else theoretically could raise it as an issue (unlikely, but could happen). In addition, content must abide by Wikipedia's various policies and guidelines and no one owns the article (see WP:Ownership of content). At the end of day, content decisions should focus on what is best for the encyclopedia. I think you understand this but others may not. As far as trimming the article, part of my thoughts is if the desk has enough in-depth sources it could be its own article then some of the content in the Burdick article could be moved there. Something to mull about anyway. Again, congratulations! Having an article accepted, as you now know, is not an easy feat. S0091 ( talk) 17:52, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
