Quest Nutrition[edit]
Hello! I saw you declined the Quest Nutrition draft I stared. I'm not affiliated with Quest, but would like to see a neutral third party site (like Wikipedia) to describe them. I heard the founder had talked about hiring people with criminal records and came to Wikipedia to verify. Couldn't find anything so I started a stub. Again - not affiliated. Just wanted to start the article so someone else might fill in the gaps as it grew. Please let me know what changes can be made to help it improve. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boogagloofuntimes (talk • contribs) 16:56, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks @Boogagloofuntimes: I didn't reject the draft because I thought you were affiliated with the company. It needs more work before its ready to be published. The comments and links on your draft might help with improving it. BuySomeApples (talk) 01:20, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response, @BuySomeApples! I see you wrote, "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." I'm happy to make the suggested changes, but would you be able to provide a little more insight on how to do so? Much appreciated!

- Sure thing @Boogagloofuntimes: for starters you might want to look at existing pages about similar companies for ideas on what to include vs not. You might also want to focus more on the history and broader impact of the company. Once you're happy with the draft, you can submit it again for another review.
