- No draft specified!
My article is rejected, Why? 122.176.45.8 (talk) 06:43, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
- We need to know what the article is before anyone can give you an additional explanation. There is no draft article associated with your IP address. Fiddle Faddle 07:53, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

[edit]
I am not requesting a re-review. I need help in re-writing my scientific article from the point of view of an inquisitive reader looking up the subject in an encyclopedia. Possibly the services of a 'ghost writer' much more familiar with that type of presentation may be the best solution. Can you help? Relativityman (talk) 12:15, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

- I do not think this draft can be turned into a valid Wikipedia article. It is original research, something Wikipedia explicitly is not the place for, it contains factual errors such as the G/g issue I pointed out here, it contains claims that contradict current scientific knowledge. I'd suggest you publish your results in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal instead of Wikipedia. Huon (talk) 13:26, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello Wikipedia Editors,
I was surprised to have your response this quick to my article "The Bachelor or Salamanca" as I was expecting to get it in a few weeks. I just want to know why my article has been declined. My article may not be perfect but it has been written so true to its content and my understanding of the book. If it has been short of something, I had expected it to be improved by you. And plus no one every wrote about the book in Wikipedia and so I thought my article surely should be helpful to other people.
I will appreciate if you provide me with reasons.

- @Frosty Rime: I'm glad we were able to review your submission faster than you expected. The reviewer left comment on the draft and I assume you didn't read it. Reviewers (volunteers, like all Wikipedians) don't typically improve unsatisfactory drafts.
- Your submission is very essay-like in that it reads like a book report, not an encyclopedic article about the book. The plot and characters are actually the least important part of articles like these, as the article should talk about the development, publication, and reception of the novel. These elements are discussed in our manual of style about novels. You'll need to provide independent and reliable sources about the book in order to assert notability. Wikipedia doesn't have an article about Le Bachelier de Salamanque in either English or French, so I wish you luck. You may want to reach out to WikiProject Novels for help.
