A goat for you!

I like how you separated the different parts including the intro and the body in your draft. It made it a lot easier to flow through the different parts. You clearly described what African Folk Art is. I would just add sources to make it more reliable.

A kitten for you!

I think that you explain the origin of folk art very well and gave good examples in the intro and body art paragraphs. I did notice that the first few sentences in the intro seem a little repetitive when mentioning folk art as an everyday use. I also am having a difficult time trying to understand what you are saying in the very first sentences of the intro so I would maybe try wording that differently.

A brownie for you!

I like how you started this article out by describing American folk art and then getting more into the history and origins of it. I think doing this helps readers have an idea of what they continue to read about Jordyn Kozik (talk) 19:05, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar

Very good job, your information is very detailed and you go into depth as to what African Folk Art is. Wikipedia allows you to add references section, so I recommend you to do that, and you only mention one source so you might want to use different sources for more accuracy. There are also some sentences that are fragmented or don't contain a full thought. Mariamelia Zaragoza (talk) 21:50, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Teamwork Barnstar
	There is a way to cite the website without having to state it right in the article. It is in the cite button in the sandbox. It will also create a bibliography for you too at the bottom of the page. I think there is good information, maybe add a little bit more to get the entire picture across. Adellert (talk) 01:35, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	I left a message on the last folk art one about the bibliography and an easy way to do it under the cite tab in the sandbox. Other than that maybe add just a little bit more info to help the reader get a better understanding. Adellert (talk) 01:36, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, /African Folk Art

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, /African Folk Art. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – African folk art. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at African folk art. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. creffett (talk) 15:14, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
