Your submission at Articles for creation: NIH Office of Science Policy (July 11)

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

Please do not include other Wikipedia pages as references. Also, you need reliable third-party sources, and therefore affiliated sources such as NIH should be removed. Last but not least, trivial mentions should be excluded, as they are irrelevant to the article.

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.

National Institutes of Health Office of Science Policy

National Institutes of Health Office of Science Policy is in the mainspace now.

It appears that someone unintentionally gave you some bad advice about sourcing, so just for the record: It's okay to use the NIH's website for content about the NIH. It's even okay to use, say, Coca-Cola's own website for content about Coca-Cola, Inc. However, it's best if a lot of the content can be sourced to independent sources. That helps us achieve a neutral point of view in articles, rather than a "subject's point of view". (This approach is usually more important with for-profit businesses and people than with government agencies, but I think you'll understand why we value it anyway. :-)

If you're interested in chatting with some editors who care about medicine, then please drop by WT:MED and say hello. People like User:Bluerasberry and User:CFCF may even have some ideas about possible collaboration with the NIH. Happy editing, WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:32, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
