Your notes, Theroadislong, are very worthwhile especially to a new editor like myself. I take them so seriously. I would like to ask you to answer such questions as: Have I addressed the first issue correctly (I made the external links texts un-clickable but left them to preserve the flow of the article. The links now appear as normal bullets - 12 of them. The blue texts are all wikipedia cross references)?

I'll be glad to read your response. Thank you. Dee Soulza (talk) 15:56, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No... you have not "addressed the first issue correctly" PLEASE read WP:REFB as requested before. Theroadislong (talk) 16:00, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ahsante sana (Swahili for THANK YOU SO MUCH). I shall try again on weekend. Dee Soulza (talk) 16:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: MISLEADING AND MISINTERPRETING OF SWAHILI ASPECTS (April 13)[edit]

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

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.

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

For example, the paragraph starting "Some Swahili speakers and journalists tend to replace original Swahili words/terminologies with unnatural ones, not for good reasons" has one source with no relevance whatsoever.

Large portions elsewhere also have little sourcing.

You may also want to change the title, as capitalising everything is seen as shouting and is not Wikipedia style. See WP:NCCPT

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.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by TechnoSquirrel69 were:

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

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:

As other reviewers have noted, this draft continues to contain language that violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Phrases like "Despite the growth, maturity and dignity earned" and not for good reasons" are not acceptable and show that you've inserted your own opinion into the prose, which is prohibited under the no original research policy. Let me know if you have any questions! (please

mention me on reply; thanks!)
