Your submission at Articles for creation: Timothy D. Barfoot (February 23)

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

although the subject seems notable, the article needs more citations, especially in the later section (the Awards section doesn't have any at all).

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 it after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Timothy D. Barfoot 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.

Your draft article on Timothy D. Barfoot contains a number of uncited details about the subject's education, etc: may I ask if you have a personal connection? ArthurTheGardener (talk) 15:10, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your review and feedback! Regarding the personal connection, yes, I work with Tim. RoboScholar (talk) 16:25, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply, RoboScholar. If you know the subject of the article, then you may have a conflict of interest. (See WP:COI). Wikipedia discourages editors from working on articles about themselves or their friends, partly because of how difficult it is to remain impartial, but if you are going to continue to edit this page, please make sure that every detail has a citation, and that you avoid any kind of promotional language.

Sounds good, thank you @ArthurTheGardener! Will do. RoboScholar (talk) 16:41, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
