Your submission at Articles for creation: Woods Hole Spritsail Boat (May 31)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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:

This reads, and is structured like, an essay, not an encyclopaedia article. Needs to be more concise and factual in style and tone, cutting down on the flowery prose and puffery. Also, while there are many sources cited, most of which appear on a quick glance to be reasonably reliable, much of the content remains unreferenced, with several paragraphs not supported by citations.

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:Woods Hole Spritsail Boat and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
