Your submission at Articles for creation: Riau Ecosystem Restoration (RER) (January 20) edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago3 comments1 person in discussion

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by The Drover's Wife was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The article needs to reference independent coverage of the project, not just reports and publications on their own website. This certainly exists - it just needs to go into the article. Secondly, the article has some bias issues: a quick Google search turns up substantial criticism associated with the project. Wikipedia can't be used as an advertisement, and it needs to include the voices of detractors as well as fans.

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:Riau Ecosystem Restoration (RER) 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:Riau Ecosystem Restoration (RER), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.

Hello, Pt1979! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Please read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. This one of the most fundamental policies on Wikipedia, and this means that if a subject has a Wikipedia article, it has to include criticism that that subject might wish wasn't in there. Wikipedia is not here to be an exercise in public relations for organisations we have articles about. This specific criticism is absolutely and indisputably relevant: it goes to the motives of the partner company funding the project and the entire reason for its existence.
