Thank you for your recent submission to Articles for Creation. Your article submission has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. Please view your submission to see the comments left by the reviewer. You are welcome to edit the submission to address the issues raised, and resubmit if you feel they have been resolved.

  •   Comment: Error: There was no comment detected! Please follow the instructions at Template:AfC comment. Several issues:
  • The article has no context at all; "Patriarchs" of what faith/group? It should have a very clear WP:Lead
  • The article has no sourcing: there have to be footnotes for each fact stated that let the reader know where s/he can verify this information in a published work
  • The tone is conversational, with phrases like "Not much is known, as I'm not a historian". That's not how an article is written. MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:01, 26 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Before you go further too, let's make sure this issue is not already partially addressed in an existing article that you can maybe expand upon. Can you clarify exactly what organisation it is you're writing about? Patriarchs of what???
