Your submission at Articles for creation: Nettie Parrish Martin (February 27)

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 good start, but we need more serious commentary cited to books, academic papers, etc. I checked GoogleBooks and there are a number of books you can peruse free online that talk about her in terms of literary criticism, the development of sci-fi, etc. You should find such sources, derived facts from them, and cite the facts to the sources. Similarly if you can google up any newspaper/magazine articles analyzing her impact, those would help a lot.

Note also, you should not footnote to her own works, you don't need to prove that Book X is about XYZ. Footnotes should be to sources talking about her.

Minor sidenote: you need to avoid conversational discursions like "it is interesting to note". If one of the expert sources you're citing finds something comment-worthy, you can cite that experts opinion, but you can't state your own opinions, can't pontificate on your personal views of her impact, etc.

I think your topic is a very valid one, it just needs some stronger academic/journalist commentary sourcing and a little stylistic cleanup, so please make those changes and click Resubmit and we should be ready to publish after one or two more tries.

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.

Great work at Nettie Parrish Martin

Great choice of topic to fill out our coverage of early women sci-fi authors! Really a topic in genuine need of coverage that had somehow been overlooked.

Thanks for sticking to it and not giving up on your draft, and now it's out there to help inform the world. Maybe you can drum up some further interest by drawing attention to your article on social media, like promoting it on your Twitter or Facebook, or posting to a site like Reddit to help explain Martin's impact on literature?

Also, if you happen to have a copy of any of her books, pre-1923 works are out of copyright, so you could photo/scan an image of a frontispiece or illustration from the book and upload it to Wikimedia Commons so you could illustrate your article? Or, if photos of the author herself are available, add her picture to the biography?

Those of course would just be icing on the cake, the important thing is you got your article properly formatted (I made a few small improvements) and with the key data, and properly cited which is always our key issue, and now it's out there for the whole world to see. Thanks for your hard work, and now that you understand the process I hope you'll enjoy writing more articles in the future. MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:54, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
