Your submission at Articles for creation: Wangerooge (January 18)

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Wangerooge 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.

Hi Theroadislong, thank you for your feedback!

I am quite new in the Wikipedia world and currently I am part of a translation class of the University of Freiburg.

I translated sections of the German Wangerooge article into English and because there were no sources available for some parts, I suggested some that I found.

I wanted to ask how I could improve the article and what criteria exactly lead to the decline of my article. I know that the sources that I used were not good, but I also think that having no sources at all, isn't a good option either, because the article might not be taken serious. I didn't find any informative and neutral internet sources, so maybe you could help me with that?

Or is it more about the style and register of my language use, that made it appear like an advertisement?

Thank you in advance for your help, I am looking forward to you answer. AmelieMoves (talk) 21:11, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
