April 1
[edit]Dear Sir or Madam, My draft of "School-Based Family Counseling" was recently rejected by reviewer APerson on the basis that it was "not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified." However, the article was in fact supported by 63 reliable sources, most of which are peer-reviewed journals. I am left with the impression that the reviewer was perhaps unfamiliar with the material being reviewed. What recourse does one have under such circumstances?

- @Gerrardb: Hi. Per WP:EXPERT, academics don't have the same voice at Wikipedia that they might enjoy in the real world, so I apologize in advance for how infuriating this is going to become. I, myself, don't believe anyone on the internet so I'm going to couch my comments from that point of view.
- The comments about reliable sourcing have to do with all the citations pointing to works published through CreateSpace, which is self-publishing and therefore not reliable. You should be able to appreciate why we don't accept stuff like that.
- Furthermore, portions of this article have been lifted from work by Dr. Gerrard at USF and schoolbasedfamilycounseling.com. With that revelation I'm now considered that this article isn't about an actual topic but rather one person's pet project. Editors are discouraged from citing their own published works because of the appearance of a conflict of interest. Running a website about same is an even bigger red flag.
- There are a handful of what appear to be peer-reviewed journals cited and a reviewer will have to take time to sort that out. My concern is that after the academic wheat is separated from the CreateSpace chaff, will there be any proof of notability? I'm not sure. Chris Troutman (talk) 07:31, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

- Hello Avitawil- Welcome to the Articles for Creation Help desk. Can you please be more specific with your problem while creating an article? A link to your submission page? As I can see your contribution log, there's no such submission ever created or submitted for creation. Did you create a submission page not being logged in or do you have an another Wikipedia account? Anupmehra -Let's talk! 12:14, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
I have just submitted an article for review: Wikipedia talk: Articles for creation/Progressive World Security Organization. In the form that it appears on screen now, i.e., the formatted form, it is missing several references that are in the article that I submitted (for example, a citation of Aviation Week magazine). Why is this? TheodicyhunterTheodicyhunter (talk) 14:10, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- Some material was invisible in your draft because you had missed a / character in a closing ref tag. I have fixed this for you. I have also fixed some other formatting problems caused by using leading space characters. These are my edits so that you can see what I did. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 10:04, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
My draft Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Patriarchal Code has just been deleted by an editor. I'm confused. I'm trying to present the material in as neutral a tone as possible. I have included secondary sources as well as primary sources. Do I, am I supposed to, include secondary sources? If not I'll take them out.
I am the only one in the world who collected and examined 20,000 names and symbols about our species and analyzed 10,000 of the most relevant and modern. All the items I discuss are in dictionaries and the vast majority is known by the broad public. The work is about names embedding bias. In the article I show that they embed bias. My objective is simply to make this information known. But I'm obviously doing something very wrong.
Why should the article be deleted? Is the subject not suitable? Is the system of falsehoods so big it must not be exposed? I ask this question because in the over 30 Conference papers I gave at Learned Societies around the globe a few people told me that I shouldn't make my work public.
I was making edits and saving the page frequently. Maybe too frequently? I'm not someone filled my own importance. But I know that I have information that is relevant, and even necessary, to develop truths, knowledge and moral societies. Please reinstate my article.
I would like to know what it is, exactly, that I'm doing wrong. I would work hard to fix what is wrong. But I need help. Louise GouefficLouise Goueffic (talk) 18:29, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- @Louise Goueffic: You have already been given excellent advice and I wish you would follow it. I suspect that you're too much of a partisan to hear any voice but your own, because multiple other editors have tried repeatedly to point you in the right direction.
- This article reads like a college essay. You're trying to make an argument and that's not encyclopedic tone nor does it have a neutral point of view. Please visit Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Feminism for assistance. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:47, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
