Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (May 19)[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 Shadowowl was:

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.

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 User:Wharvey7291/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Overpopulation and Arable Land Loss (May 27)[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 Robert McClenon was:

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:

As was noted a week ago, this is not written in a neutral tone. Is this a class project, or is this actually intended to be an encyclopedic draft? Wikipedia articles do not start with an Abstract and end with a Conclusion (or Bottom Line). You may ask for advice at a WikiProject or at the Teahouse.

See WP:Markup for how to mark up sections.

This draft is duplicated.

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:Overpopulation and Arable Land Loss and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Overpopulation and Arable Land Loss (June 8)[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 Smmurphy was:

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:

Please review Wikipedia:Your first article and think about how you can start slower as a contributor to wikipedia. This subject may be suitable for an article, but the tone and format are not suitable. Writing well on wikipedia takes practice, and I recommend you start with shorter edits to existing articles and then writing shorter new articles where appropriate.

Don't copy your draft onto your talk page. If you want to keep a copy in case it gets deleted then keep it off of Wikipedia. You had a month to work on it but it doesn't look like you addressed the concerns. Meters (talk) 18:57, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you are still interested, feel free to contact me by email: Special:EmailUser/Smmurphy or at my talk page: User talk:Smmurphy. Best, Smmurphy^(Talk) 21:51, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

July 2017[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Human overpopulation, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Zefr (talk) 19:05, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I fully agree with Zefr. Dear Wharvey7291, some of the content you provided is useful can help improve the WP article, but not in the format in which you provided it. Wikipedia does not permit the word-for-word copying and pasting of content from sources, and we do not allow original research, and we must ascertain that all content can be directly verifiable to reliable sources. And there are other key Wikipedia policies that all editors must strictly follow. Please familiar yourself with Wikipedia policies and editorial guidelines, and only then proceed to contribute to WP, including to the article on Human Overpopulation. Thank you and regards, Ijon Tichy (talk) 19:31, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
