Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:
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:
Simply an advertised business profile, notability cannot be inherited and sources are only announcements or notices.
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.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:IRhythm Technologies and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Hi, reading your story on your user page takes me back to when I joined in 2014. I hope you have fun along the way, and the main thing to remember is that On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog (sometimes people forget that there are humans behind these usernames and so they are rude and uncivil, so pretend you're a dog and you don't understand what they're saying). From your comments, I see you're extremely courteous and kind. Remember to always remain that way - never break (just look at my talk page if you want evidence of the things people say on wiki). Good luck and let me know if there's ever anything you need. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions19:14, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Nicnote: Haha! Thanks! I think I'm getting the hang of this. I'll admit, it is a little daunting trying to get started and understanding all of the rules. But it has been fun so far. I may or may not have checked my email every hour all weekend long to see if my first article submission got approved. :)
As for questions, I wouldn't mind your take on the first tool that I've put on here. User:VoodooEconomics/Date Grammar Checker I've got two others that I've made but haven't put up yet, one that finds 1990's errors (or anywhere they put the year and an 's) and another that finds all of the "City, State" references with no comma after the state errors. I haven't put them up because there is still plenty, plenty, plenty of errors that I haven't gotten to with what I've got on there already. I'm hoping it gets some notice and other people start helping with the edits. I'd welcome any thoughts on whether or not it is useful, how to make it better, or other common mistakes that I might be able to find programmatically in a wikidump.
@VoodooEconomics: Well I think it's a great idea, might put a few random editors out of work! It's a shame as I'm just as good at programming as my grandparents (they live in the countryside in Poland - and no, none of them worked for IBM or anything like that), so I can't really help you there. Have you thought of turning it into a bot? Might I suggest Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computing? I'm sure they have enough editors with OCD to be interested in something like this. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions19:40, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Nicnote: I have thought about turning it into a bot, but I wanted to try and proof the output first. I also don't want to accidently edit titles or references where the original content didn't have a comma or an apostrophe. I actually looked into making it a bot first, but then I realized that they are supposed to be approved first and I didn't think that my idea was up to par yet. I've also asked a couple questions of some of the grammar police pages to ask about some places where I don't know if it breaks the rule, since I'm no grammar expert. Maybe as I get more confident in its output I'll turn it into a bot. Also, I just took a gander at your talk page, you are right some people are mean!

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Curb Safe Charmer was:
The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Cardiac monitoring. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
The comment the reviewer left was:
Wikipedia is not a place for promoting companies or their products. This article is currently about a company, but it is difficult to write an article about a company that will meet Wikipedia's standards because the content must be based on what multiple, independent, reliable sources have written about *the company*. If it is the company's product that is notable, then the article should be about the product, not the company.
In this case I think it would be best not to have a separate article about this company, and instead to merge the information about the product from here into the cardiac monitoring article.
