Saraswati Singh Rajput (talk) 06:12, 12 September 2015 (UTC) respected sir, our article was declined due to use of peacock term and tone of article.so, please guide us how proceed further.[reply]

Hello Saraswati Singh Rajput. I had a look at your draft. User:Racer Omega's reason for the decline was not very apt in my view. There are no peacock terms in it, and while the tone is perhaps overly technical combined with several mistakes in the English grammar and punctuation, it is reasonably encyclopedic. However, at this point, decline was the correct decision.

For one thing see the material at Rhinitis and particularly the section Nonallergic Rhinitis. Your draft duplicates much of the material, although in a less readable or understandable form.
I'm concerned that the draft appears to lift phrases and sentences wholesale from other sources, such as L. Dhingra and Shruti Dhingra (2014). Diseases of Ear, Nose and Throat & Head and Neck Surgery, p. 170. Elsevier Health Sciences, with just a few words changed or deleted. This type of close paraphrasing and verbatim copying is a copyright violation and is not allowed.
As this is on a medical topic, the requirement for sourcing is very strict. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Medicine-related articles and Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) have further guidance on this. Most importantly, this article requires extensive inline citations which verify the material. It currently has no inline citations. Wikipedia:Citing sources provides guidance on this issue.

I suggest that you post a request at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine asking experienced editors there to take a look at your draft and offer advice as to its viability. When you say "our draft", does this mean you are writing it as part of a university assignment? If so, ask your instructor to get in touch with the Wikipedia:Education noticeboard. Also, you must ensure that only you edit the article under this username. If other students are collaborating with you, they must each have their own account and unique user name to make any additions to the draft. Sharing an account and its password with others is not allowed. Hope that helps. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 08:50, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why was my article taken down? please tell me!

I need to know Ppoint13 (talk) 18:01, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ppoint13, your draft was declined because you have given no independent reliable sources that talk about the show in any detail. Please see WP:42 for information about what needs to be included in an article, and WP:REFB for information about adding references. Primefac (talk) 18:10, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
