Your submission at Articles for creation: Mini Movie Hour (July 16)

[edit]
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:
This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), 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:
Have any reliable publications independent of the subject written in depth articles about the series? That's the test we apply to determine whether there should be a Wikipedia article about this subject. If such sources exist, please add references to them and re-submit for review. The two references provided are to press releases, so these are not independent of the subject.
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.

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Rnsmith2000. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Draft:Mini Movie Hour, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 18:18, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Racemax Trademark Dispute

On February 28, 2023, ASTN President Roger Neal Smith filed an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to register Racemax, a proposed television series. The USPTO examining attorney found no conflicting marks, and the application advanced to publication in the USPTO Gazette.

On November 10, 2023, Home Box Office, Inc. (HBO) filed an opposition, claiming that Racemax would cause confusion with its family of “Max” trademarks, including HBO Max.[1] Smith represented himself in the matter, arguing that HBO had no racing-related trademarks and that Racemax was distinct from HBO’s marks.

On July 8, 2024, HBO withdrew its opposition, and the USPTO’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board dismissed the case with prejudice[2], allowing All Sports Television Network to retain its application.
