Your submission at Articles for creation: Martha Emerson (Salem witch trials) (November 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by S0091 were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of the sources are primary (court documents) and genealogical documents are not generally considered reliable sources. Also, much of the content appears to be original research and quotes should be limted. An article should largely only summarize what secondary sources have written about Martha Emerson.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Martha Emerson (Salem witch trials) 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.

Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Guidance

Hi Alexanderstuckey12, first thank you for your contributions. I can tell you put forth quite a bit effort into the above drafts. However, as stated in my declines, they appear to be largely original research. I suggest reading Your first article and looking for secondary sources. Google Books is generally a good starting place. I also recommend JSTOR if you have access (or can get access through a library).

Also, I noticed it looks like you practiced some on you main User page which is fine but a better place is your User sandbox. There is a "default" one for you which can find on the top right of the screen. Its the Sandbox link in between "Talk" and "Preferences" and is likely red. Just click on that, type anything and publish which will create the page. It could also be in a drop down underneath the Person icon.

If you have questions or need help, you can ask at the Teahouse. You are also welcome to ask me questions (click on "talk"next to my signature to leave me a message on my talk page) but for general editing questions the Teahouse will provide a quicker response.
