Suggestions re Interest article draft

You might want to run your text through a SMOG Index to make sure you're avoiding complex sentences and esoteric terms when not absoutely necessary, especially earlier in the article.
Consider starting with a basic definition that summarizes the article's content in short sentences that necessarily overgeneralize, but are explained in more detail later.
Use <ref></ref> tags throughout the article to link your text to your sources for verifiability of all text in the article. Keep in mind that all Wikipedia text must be based on reliable published sources.

I think this is a great start! -- • • • Blue Pixel 01:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, the article as it stands is a bit too long (73 kilobytes). You might be able to fix this by wikilinking to other articles rather than providing text description in this article. -- • • • Blue Pixel 01:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
