Your submission at Articles for creation: Upper Fillmore Revitalization Project (January 25)

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

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

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:

"The project is funded by venture capitalist Neil Mehta, and operated by nightlife entrepreneur Cody Allen. Both are residents of the neighborhood." Urgently needs sources. "Prior to the closure, ABC 7 reported that Steve Amano, the owner, felt they were "being strong-armed into closing". Where's the report? Was it on TV?

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.

Hi, @AlphaBetaGamma I replied in teahouse but figured I'd reply here, too. I moved the ABC 7 reference one sentence later, but I'm still not clear what dictates that it should be on sentence 1 vs sentence 2. Could you point me to that?

Could you please also let me know specifics of what isn't written in formal tone/NPOV? Thanks!

Sentence 1: In September 2024, Ten-Ichi, a family owned and operated Japanese restaurant on Fillmore Street since 1978 closed.

Sentence 2: Prior to the closure, ABC 7 reported that Steve Amano, the owner, felt they were "being strong-armed into closing".
