Your submission at Articles for creation: The Thief of Talant (April 15)

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 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.

This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please see the guide to writing better articles for information on how to better format your submission.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This reads like someone's analysis of the work rather than a neutral description. I'm concerned the review might be swiped from somewhere. A reception section would also be useful, as well as adding references as to the structure, e.g. (person x) of (magazine y) said that the work (details on the structure)

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:The Thief of Talant and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:The Thief of Talant, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

Notes

Hi! I wanted to give you some additional notes on the draft:

Make sure that you attribute claims to the person making them - this will help reduce concerns about original research and essay tones. Basically, you don't want something to come across as your own personal opinion or claim.

Be careful of tone and writing style. Make sure to use a formal writing style - you may want to look at other articles to see how they're styled. I know that the article for To Kill a Mockingbird is a good example of a book article, as it's one of the best of the best articles on Wikipedia.

With sourcing, make sure that you're using sourcing that explicitly states the claims in the article. In other words, it has to mention the book and the claim. For example, in order to say that the book uses themes of X and Y, the source will have to say that the book is an example of X and Y. A general statement about the author's work as a whole isn't usable.

You also want to make sure that the sourcing is the strongest possible sourcing. Avoid self-published and questionable sources like blogs or any site where their editorial and verification processes aren't posted or aren't clear. The only time self-published and blog sources could be used is if the writer and/or the site is routinely seen as a reliable source by other reliable sources. For example, you use the site "Bureau of Public Secrets", which was written by Ken Knabb. While the site is self-published, it looks like it is generally seen as a reliable source since it's used by other reliable sources. However I will caution you in that sourcing like this is not always the strongest possible sourcing. I'd definitely recommend looking through your academic and scholarly databases. Keep in mind that sourcing doesn't have to be in English as well.

I hope that this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:24, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Thief of Talant (April 17)

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

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 comment the reviewer left was:

The structure and reception parts need to be cleaned up and referenced properly. There are sentences that are incorrectly referenced. Perhaps they are sourced by other articles not mentioned? They also make it presented like original researech, again, better attribution is preferred when making claims that the writing is Cubist or surreal.
