Hello! Mounce,
I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering or curious about why your article submission was declined please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! (t) Josve05a (c) (on a break) 14:37, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Art and Artist
editAlthough I am normally prepared to restore text in a sandbox, I am unconvinced that it is appropriate here.
- The article was a copyright violation. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required. We do not normally restore copyright text, both for legal reasons and because the editor could return to the copied page if they wanted to see the content
- It is permissible to use attributed and referenced quotes, but they certainly shouldn't make up too much of the content of the article, about 10% at most
- it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines.
- it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: was appreciated for his knowledge... rich in cultural-historical and ethnological references supporting his structured analysis... creatively contributes his own unique idea of immortality...—and on and on in the same pov style
- The non-copyrighted text appears to be a personal essay or review, and is therefore original research which we cannot accept.
The article needs to be rewritten from scratch in your own words, an encyclopaedic and neutral tone, and with proper third party references. Have a look at this as a possible model]]. I'm open to argument, but I don't see that the deleted text has any content that will help in this process Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:06, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- I've restored here. Please move it off line as soon as possible because it is still a copyright violation a nd can still be deleted Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:18, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
