Your submission at Articles for creation: Marine Megafauna Foundation (October 15)

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 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 Gene93k was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of the citations in the draft are by the organization or it's personnel. Cited references do not lack independence and fail to cover the organization itself. Also, content about the organization lacks sources.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Marine Megafauna Foundation and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Thanks for your hard work on the draft for the Marine Megafauna Foundation. I fixed the issues that were originally identified by Gene93k, updated a number of sections, and removed all the primary source links. The article is pretty sparse now compared to what you wrote but is NPOV and probably over cited at this point. I kind of went down a rabbit hole, had to learn a bunch about editing properly.

Anyway, I think people who are trying to find out how all these new facts about megafauna are being discovered will benefit from the article and from seeing it expand. Hopefully you will come back & add more someday. EagleRaymond (talk) 22:55, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Also this inspired me to finally create an account here, and I had fun. So thanks! EagleRaymond (talk) 22:56, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
