Your submission at Articles for creation: Michael Garlington (November 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Hoary was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

"Portraits from the Belly of the Whale Hardcover" is cited twice. I didn't look what it's cited for. I did notice that it's a sales page within Garlington's own website; thus it of course is not disinterested. "Michael Garlington Transcends Gimmickry in Creating a Powerful 'Photohouse" consists of two short, unsigned paragraphs. Yet it's cited five times. It doesn't seem to say any of the things for which it is cited. Two's enough for me. Please cut the junk sources, cut the junk citations, and summarize what well-informed people unrelated to Garlington have said about his work.

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.
