George Manross article

Hello, thanks for writing this article! I’ve just read it and I’m a bit concerned that it reads like a promotional biography, not like a factual encyclopaedia article, and quite a bit of the article isn't sourced to reliable sources, just self-authored ones. That worries me since promotional articles can get deleted from Wikipedia without warning. (If this text has been published elsewhere as copyright, then that's a problem as well, since because of the WP:COPYVIO policy Wikipedia can't normally accept copyrighted material.)

Would you be able to rewrite the article in a more factual way? If so just edit the article and add citations using the cite tool, or if you have any thoughts or questions just let me know. Blythwood (talk) 07:12, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello Chessmasterbear, per your request, I've moved your article to Draftspace and added the AfC tags to it so you can submit it for review when you're ready. Please feel free to visit the IRC channel again if you have any more questions. You can find the article at it's new location. Chrisw80 (talk) 10:48, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
