Hello, Jonwob19, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

I've moved your article to draft space as it does not appear to be an encyclopedic article but an essay.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Link Between Enlightenment and Imperialism is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Link Between Enlightenment and Imperialism until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Praxidicae (talk) 22:13, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Hi - I have to agree with this. This looks to contain lots of original research, that is to mean work and theories that you have created on your own, that aren't explicitly stated in the source material. We can only summarize what has already been stated in the source material by authorities. It also contains language that will be subjective to the reader. For example, you write things like "it is vital" without attributing it to a specific person, which is important since vital-ness will differ depending on the individual.
Also, the work was moved back to your draftspace before - if work is challenged, it is really heavily discouraged to move the work back without discussion, since this can lead to a more permanent form of deletion, as is the case here. Let me know if you are interested in continuing to work on this article. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 00:23, 1 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
