Hello. Your recent edit appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Hi, my edit added one of the major players in that area. I plan to add all notable products such as to provide users with a useful overview and comparison. IMHO, a top-down approach is the most useful, most agile, and most collaborative way to accomplish this. Therefore, I prepare the pages to be added already by providing a link to a not-yet-existing page. I have already started to write that page in my user space. Please don't discourage users to add useful information. Thanks! -- TomRoad-1 ( talk) 23:45, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi, please explain why you undo so many edits to List_of_home_automation_software. There are many users who are discouraged to contribute because their edits are undone. It seems to me that this page can not be improved if it is not allowed to live. IMHO, your undoing is doing far more damage than less-than-perfect contributions. Besides, I sense WP:DISRUPTSIGNS points 4, 5 and 6 in addition to WP:DNB. Please explain why your undoing is more important than the users' contribution. Thank you.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the page Draft:Domoticz, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition was deleted under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License." You may also e-mail or mail the Foundation to release the content. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more.
While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 01:41, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
No draft has to be perfect before it is published, it just has to be good enough to scrape by, so that afterwards, all editors can improve on it. Wikipedia has a quality scale that starts with Stub and Start, ends with Good Article and Featured Article. In English Wikipedia there are currently 3.6 million Stubs and 7,276 Featured Articles. If you decide to start over on your draft, I recommend you keep the draft short, have minimally three references that are considered reliable sources, and then submit it to Articles for Creation.

Hi. The nature of the draft I just reviewed made me wonder whether you were connected with the subject. Please review COI and PAID, and indicate whether either of these apply to you before doing any further work on that draft. Thanks GirthSummit (blether) 16:40, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello, TomRoad-1. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Domoticz".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 17:02, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
