Your submission at Articles for creation: Edinburgh the Walk (December 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF 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 draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The guidebook was released in 2022, but prior to that there isn't anything in the historical documents presented that calls this The Walk. Needs more detailed history on the pathways. Alternatively, this can be turned into an article describing the book and its reception if that is notable.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Edinburgh the Walk and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hi AngusWOOF - really appreciate you reviewing and getting back to me so quickly on this.

As a first time creator I’m a bit puzzled by the feedback to be honest as I’d tried, as much as possible, to copy the same template and style of the other thirty or so walks and hikes in the ‘Long-distance footpaths in Scotland ‘. I don’t see a huge difference between, say, ‘The Clyde Walkway’ (which is included and given its own page) and the Edinburgh walk w

(which you’ve turned down).

Could you advise? Jamborod (talk) 19:42, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AngusWOOF - thanks for feedback and suggested changes. Will review and resubmit. Have a good Christmas. Jamborod (talk) 09:09, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Edinburgh the Walk. Thanks! AntientNestor (talk) 11:02, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AncientNestor - thanks very much for the message and the positive news. Much appreciated.

Regarding the final change ‘WP:ELMIN is applied to the ==External links== section’ is this something I need to do? As a relative ‘newbie’ is there somewhere you could point me to so I can apply it?

Many thanks 2A00:23C8:7295:4001:64B8:44E1:EC54:590C (talk) 11:54, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's just a matter of reading the criteria at WP:ELMIN and deleting the ones that don't meet that standard—most should go.

The basic accept/decline standard is set out here and this would indicate a "pass", but I see that other reviewers (more experienced than I am) have other criticisms; you could try to deal with those at the same time.

Have finally got round to trimming the external sources as per your recommendation. I've left in two - link to Edinburgh's architecture and green spaces which seem to me to be good guides to the main terrain/features of the walk. Hope that works for you and thanks again for reviewing/feedback. Jamborod (talk) 10:02, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
