Your submission at Articles for creation: Frederick William Lock (artist) (February 24)

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

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment they left was:

What you have here is what we call original research using primary sources. Wikipedia articles must instead be based only on secondary sources (with a few exceptions). Therefore you cannot use: "Image and notations found written on the back of the painting were obtained..." as a reference, nor the information that cites. All facts in the article must be verifiable in published sources. If you say "It is reported that Lock returned to England shortly after her death" or "Lock reportedly traveled to Manchester, Vermont; however that report is unsubstantiated" you have to say who reported it, or at least cite the source. You have a great deal of detail here, probably more than is suitable for a Wikipedia article, but the source of the information is often unclear. Only provide known facts, and provide sources for all of them. Also, references are used only for citations, not for additional notes. If something is worth saying, say it in the article.

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:Frederick William Lock (artist) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Nice article

Hi William - this looks great for your first? and only? article. Pleased to see that you got your sarticle published. It was being shown as an orpphan and I have fixed that by mentioning him in the John Richardson article. It is important that your article is mentioned in other articles as that enables others to find your article (eg in the Thomas Bateman) article. Your referencing is also unusual. Do look at others. We can also bring all his images here so they can be seen to be freely licensed. I moved in John Richardson pic to show an example. Lastly can I thank you for taking the trouble to credit my help. As "a newbie" you have created a very very creditable article. I would like to encourage you to improve his place in the wiki further. .... but good!! 21:57, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
