- There is some advice at Draft:Chordiels Music on how to improve the draft so that it might be acceptable. Do you need any other help? Arthur goes shopping (talk) 13:08, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

- That seems to be an essay about earthworms. Could you explain why you feel it is appropriate for such material to be an article in an encyclopedia? Arthur goes shopping (talk) 13:10, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for directing me here. I recently submitted an article that was declined. I'm having a little trouble find large media coverage on the topic. Would it be wise to eliminate content and in the future add more as I find more media coverage info? I made sure to write the article like an encyclopedia but not sure if certain words are used incorrectly, or is it the sources where I got the information. I research other similar articles and made sure it was aligned with the writing format. Any help would strongly be apprieceiated. This would help me when writing future articles.

- Hello Hozae1983. Wikipedia only has articles about subjects that have been written about substantially by journalists or other authors in publications not connected to the subject. You'll need to reference a number of these sources to show that there should be an article at all about this credit union. References to its own publications and web material don't count, and neither do press releases or directory listings. Otherwise, the article will not be accepted.
- It's not necessary to have a reference for every non-controversial fact (such as where the credit union is located, or how long it's been in operation) in order for the article to be accepted, so don't delete factual information that likely can be referenced later. However, anything included which is there to make the organization seem more important, or which is unusual, needs a citation or it should be removed. Here's an example: You have written "In 2014 the credit union was ranked the third healthiest credit union in the country by DepositAccounts.com" and linked to that website. That link will need to be removed (external links aren't allowed in the body of an article), and instead you should find a business section news report, magazine article, or something like that, where the information is reported, and cite that. If no one has written about it, then that sentence should be removed. Also, since every Wikipedia article starts out explaining what the topic is, you should remove your first section heading "What is...", and try to put the name of the organization as close to the beginning of the sentence as is practical.
- I hope this helps. —Anne Delong (talk) 06:16, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
