AfC notification: Draft:Sacred Herbology has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Sacred Herbology. Thanks! -- NotCharizard ^🗨 14:49, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Notcharizard Thank you for your feedback. I will rewrite the information with the formatting you are requesting.

Could you please expand on your comment regarding reliable sources? I have chosen an extensive list of highly credible books and studies etc to cite from. This would have been accepted in a masters degree but not wiki.

I am new to this, but educated enough to figure it out with the assistance of more experienced wiki editors.

I genuinely want to contribute this topic l, so any advice on how to proceed will be greatly appreciated.

TIA!

Hello! I did not have a problem with your sources at all (athough I did not check if they match what you wrote), the rejection and comment on sources/tone was made by @Iwaqarhashmi. My comment was all to do with formatting, links and headings mostly. I do agree that some of the tone was unencyclopedic - things like "a worldview that encompasses a rich tapestry of symbolism." and the entirity of the symbolism section sounds like original research and your own analysis. It's beautiful written, but not right for Wikipedia. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 03:19, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, thanks for your feedback!

I will keep working on it as I get time.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. HealthNut42 (talk) 11:18, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
