Your submission at Articles for creation: Louisa Gann (1824-1912) (August 9)

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 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.

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Royal Female School of Art. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This reads like it was copied from another website or book. I am concerned there may be copyvios. It also relies on two PhD theses as major sources.

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.

Advice regarding Louisa Gann

Hi - I noticed your discussion at the AfC reviewer's talk page - I took a quick look, and wanted to offer you a little bit more advice. Wikipedia adopts a neutral point of view; we avoid describing subjects in subjective terms. Phrases like she brought a profound commitment to opening opportunities..., Gann was committed to enabling young women, she was a force to be reckoned with - all of these seem like they are praising the subject of the article. What we should be trying to do is describe, neutrally and without judgement, what she did. It is possible to include relevant attributed quotations from historians however - so, you could write something like Madeup Nameson, a historian specialising in women's education in the early twentieth century, said that "she brought a profound commitment to opening opportunities...". In other words, write in such a way that the reader would not infer that you yourself have any opinion about the subject, just present facts about her. Hope that makes sense, best Girth Summit _(blether) 11:21, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Girth Summit. That's really useful feedback. Thank you for taking the time to reach out. JMHhistorian (talk) 15:20, 13 August 2021 (UTC)JMHHistorian[reply]
