Your submission at Articles for creation: Nathan Lee (February 8)

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

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 Reception section starts, "Lee has received mixed reviews in the media", and then goes on to give three examples of glowing reviews. If the reviews have been mixed, then we need to also have examples of poor reviews. Overall, the tone of this is quite promotional. I also note that the previously deleted version lists, "Years active: 2011-present", but this draft says "2007-present". The cited reference says, "began playing the piano at the age of 6 and made his orchestral debut at the age of nine." I suspect the later event is the right one to establish when he was active.

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:Nathan Lee and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

@RoySmith: Thanks for your feedback. I searched for some reviews of the subject, and found the review from the Washington Post to be critical, as it stated "What was less discernible in Lee’s playing Sunday afternoon was the nascent sense of an original voice, that quality that lifts a performance from a simulacrum of the music to an authentic utterance, born of necessity." I would appreciate if you could give some pointers on how to approve the article before resubmission, if you think it is worth working on. For example, should I change "mixed" to "positive ?"
