If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks and related articles. Thanks! Geronimo20 (talk) 09:23, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Destructive fishing practices[edit]

You know, that is not a bad article you have written on destructive fishing practices, despite the tags. You clearly have some background in the area, but you have not cited appropriate sources. This leaves the article open to being tagged as original research. I have been unable to source the position you set out adequately from the web. The fact seems to be that "destructive fishing" has not been defined or used in a particularly useful way. I like the original FAO position of distinguishing between reversible effects and non-reversible effects (though this doesn't seem to have generally been adopted). I don't particularly like the extended uses you develop for the term, since they dilute it's use to the point where it's not pointing to irreversible destruction, but merely anything that has some negative effect. And I wonder whether you just added that as your own thoughts, or whether you can source it from reputable sources. As it stands, it is hard to justify this article as adding anything that doesn't more appropriately belong to the article on environmental effects of fishing. It would be good if you are willing to engage on this matter and see if we can jointly clarify this. In the meantime, I may work the article up a bit to if it can sit okay. But it may need deleting. --Geronimo20 (talk) 09:32, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Abbey Caves (March 10)[edit]

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

A few issues to fix:

You don't have any WP:Sourcing at all; where did this information *come* from? Please see WP:Referencing for beginners.
Please note, when you choose sourcing, avoid blogs, Twitter, and informal/hobbyist caving pages, and stick to published news articles (I see several about the caves on GoogleNews), check GoogleBooks for published books, etc.
You have too much "tourist-style" info on the page. Don't write the page for someone who might visit next week, write the article for someone on the other side of the planet who doesn't care about the parking situation, but wants to know why these caves *matter* beyond just any old cave in the world.

Make the fixes, and click Resubmit. Good start, but needs to be Wikipedia-style to publish.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Abbey Caves and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Abbey Caves, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
