Your submission at Articles for creation: Denver Startup Week (June 20)

Latest comment: 6 years 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 Theroadislong was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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:Denver Startup Week 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:Denver Startup Week, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
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 recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Newslinger were:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs more work. Please read through Wikipedia's guidelines on tone and the Manual of Style's "words to watch", then rewrite the article to describe the event dispassionately.

Sentences like "These tracks aim to educate and connect company founders, marketers, artists, sales specialists, coders, manufacturers, and everything in between." fit right in a press release or infomercial, but not in an encyclopedia. In certain places, removing phrases like "and more" would help improve the tone.

Adding inline citations (especially from independent secondary sources) would help make the article more neutral. A good rule of thumb is to try to write as much of the article as possible from independent secondary sources, and only use primary sources to fill in the gaps that the secondary sources don't cover.

Finally, since you appear to be affiliated with Denver Startup Week, please disclose your affiliation whenever you make edits regarding this event.

Please submit the draft again after addressing these issues. Thanks!

Hello, Vito Leccese. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Denver Startup Week".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. DannyS712 (talk) 09:12, 12 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
