Comments at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Soba Choko

Hello, I've left some comments and markup on your page. Please take a look (and scroll all the way thru because some comments are lower down on the draft. Overall it's a good concept and something we should have an article on, but a few overarching issues to tune up:

This needs to be a encyclopedia article, not "Miller's opinions", so stated facts and assessments need to be explicitly footnoted to a source which can WP:Verify that fact. An encyclopedia pre-supposes that statements in an article are already documented fact, so you have to let the reader know where they can go to see that fact in published works. Just imagine a "says who?" at the end of each paragraph, and that needs to be answered
You're close but not quite getting how footnoting and references work on WP, so please do check out WP:Referencing for beginners.

Hope this helps. Good concept, just needs some dialing-in to be encyclopedic, and sourcing is fundamental to that. MatthewVanitas (talk) 14:58, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
