Your submission at Articles for creation: Mistawasis (January 24)[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 Curb Safe Charmer was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please add references that show that Mistawasis has been written about in depth by multiple reliable, independent publications.

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.

Hi Mike!

I decided to peer-review your article. Great work so far! You've got a great basis for your article, and seem to have all your ducks in a row in terms of the structure of the argument, which is awesome to see. Here's a list of a couple of things that I noticed that you could improve.

You should include a hyperlink to Treaty 6, or at least explain a little bit about what it is.
There seems to be a bit of a disconnect between your third line and your fourth line. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but you should reword it a little to make it a bit clearer - that might help a bit.
Like I mentioned above regarding the hyperlink, you should include more of those. By linking your article together with other ones, it helps to make the article seem more professional and "encyclopedic", to use a word from the assignment instructions.

Other than that, there isn't much more that I can see. Great work so far! Keep it up and you're going to have a great article. James.Gough.93 (talk) 04:27, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
