Hello Kimberough. It looks like you were trying to create a user sandbox, which is completely acceptable - it was just in the wrong place. So, I have move the sandbox to User:Kimberough/sandbox. Feel free to continue to experiment there.--Mojo Hand (talk) 14:40, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Mojo Hand. I suppose I misunderstood the assignment from the training module!Kimberough (talk) 17:28, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all. We expect new users to try things and make mistakes. Let me know if you ever need help.--Mojo Hand (talk) 19:42, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Subjectification (June 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 Ringbang was:

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:

Good subject. At present, the jargon is rather dense for the general reader. Have you seen Wikipedia:Make technical articles understandable? I think this will help. The lede is decent, but it needs sources. It would also benefit greatly from a clearer explanation (with citations) of the fundamental concepts and their relationships. State the obvious and build a foundation of understanding for the reader. Be careful: The sections "Subjectivity in language", "Subjectification and intersubjectification", and "Example" are particularly essay-like in tone.

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:Subjectification and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
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.
