Your submission at Articles for creation: District of Columbia Municipal Center (March 12)

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

This is a very good start indeed, and I'd say the only real issue with it is that you're basing everything on one single source.

Can you dig up some WaPo articles or whatnot talking about the building itself, explaining what's significant about it? Add some facts from sources other than just the NRHP application, cite them to the sources, and you'll be looking good.

Please make these changes, then click Resubmit for next review. Do not be discouraged, AFC is an iterative process, and Declines are normal. Keep up the improvements!

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:District of Columbia Municipal Center 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:District of Columbia Municipal Center, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
