Your submission at Articles for creation: Elizabeth Ford (March 18)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sam-2727 was:

This submission is not suitable for Wikipedia. Please read 'What Wikipedia is not' for more information.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Definitely a notable subject. There are some formatting issues, but that isn't the main problem with this article. Wikipedia articles should be written in a neutral tone, yet this one contains phrases such as "passed on her sense of colour and ideas about layering the canvas to her students." It could simply read, "had students..." without the language that makes this read like a personal essay rather than a neutral encyclopedia article.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Elizabeth Ford and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Elizabeth Ford, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello Sam,

You seemed to think that one of my sentences was not neutral - 'Passed on her sense of colour to her students...' Sorry, but this is fact. If you look at both artists, you will read that they were influenced by Elizabeth Ford in this way. Further, to decline an article on one phrase seems rather arbitrary. Please reconsider.

please contact[edit]

either on wiki, or off - various issues have come up - also WP:SIGN worth learning at this stage... JarrahTree 03:59, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

make sure have an intact copy off wiki JarrahTree 10:10, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What JarrahTree means is that at end of comments on any Talk and at Teahouse, 'sign' you comments by typing four of ~ at the end. I have no idea what his other comments mean. David notMD (talk) 01:57, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Elizabeth Ford (March 20)[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 Sulfurboy were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

POV issues still exist, appropriate tags have been placed in the areas that need help. Sourcing for the awards is unclear due to lack of cite and it's also unclear what awards are notable and for what reason. Wikipedia is not a compendium of every award won by somebody. The awards need to either be clearly notable (such as having a wiki article of their own) or it needs to be shown how the listing of those awards is necessary to establish the article.

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 when they have been resolved.
