Your submission at Articles for creation: Manoir Davis (July 9)

Latest comment: 25 days ago5 comments2 people 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 Qcne was:

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:

Potentially notable, but this has been written with the help of ChatGPT so needs re-writing. Please also add in-line citations throughout by following the tutorial at WP:INTREFVE.

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:Manoir Davis 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.

I don't see why I should wait *months* to get my articles published? Isn't Wikipedia open source? I'm dissapointed and confused...

Hello, Laurentchevrettedigital! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Hi, so basically I will edit to make the tone more formal, but as far as references go, I think it is OK? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you Laurentchevrettedigital (talk) 13:42, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Laurentchevrettedigital.

I don't see why I should wait *months* to get my articles published? Isn't Wikipedia open source? I'm dissapointed and confused... < I think maybe you are confused about the Articles for Creation process. You have submitted a draft article for review, and due to a large queue of articles waiting to be reviewed and a small number of volunteer reviewers, this process may take several months. The Articles for Creation process isn't the only way to create an article for Wikipedia, but is recommended for new users as it allows you to iterate and approve and get feedback from experienced editors. You can create a new article directly in Wikipedia, bypassing this process, instructions are at WP:YFA, but it would likely be deleted/moved to draftspace in its current format for reasons I will list below

Thanks for re-writing the draft to be more neutral, there are a few more issues with the draft before it is ready to be accepted:

It still has promotional content, and some repeated text, so will need some general copyediting. i.e. the entire "Local Attractions" section is just an advert.
It seems to focus more on the fact it is now a retreat, as opposed to the historic nature of the building. This feels like a thinly disguised advert for the retreat, so please most of that content and focus on the building itself.
