Your submission at Articles for creation: Bertha Betsey Mason- A Colchester Businesswoman (August 8)

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

This submission is not suitable for Wikipedia. Please read 'What Wikipedia is not' for more information.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Wikipedia is not a memorial website like Legacy or Find a Grave.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Bertha Betsey Mason- A Colchester Businesswoman and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
