Thanks GoingBatty, I really appreciate it, I have reeditted slightly to see if this article is more appropriate, it was mentioned that there is a 'promotional tone' Im not really sure what that means CattJohn (talk) 22:51, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, CattJohn! I'm Timtrent. I have replied to your question about a submission at the WikiProject Articles for Creation Help Desk. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 22:44, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Border Controls in the Mediterranean (December 30)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Theroadislong were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Border Controls in the Mediterranean and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Article leads[edit]

Explain the subject of the article concisely in the lead. The lead should summarize the contents of the article. Has your tutor read Wikipedia:Education program? Theroadislong (talk) 19:30, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, I will edit my lead now CattJohn (talk) 19:42, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Border Controls in the Mediterranean (January 13)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by BuySomeApples were:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The topic of migration and border controls in the Mediterranean is a notable one, but this article doesn't seem organized, neutral or focused enough for a Wikipedia article. It might help to take some time to think about the scope of article you want to write and see what related Wikipedia articles are like in terms of structure. I think there's potential here but it might take a little work to get there.

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 after they have been resolved.
