Hello, Okfarmerjohn. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Order of the International Police & Public Safety Medal".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 07:07, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You're going about this the wrong way

[edit]

Hi. I noticed you made Draft:Order of the International Police & Public Safety Medal and User:Okfarmerjohn/sandbox. I think these reveal a problem with your mindset. Rather than write what you think you know, search for reliable sources whether online, or in a library, etc. and then write a narrative that takes from what those sources say. When you start out with an idea and start writing before you find sources, you will be met with rejection on Wikipedia. Instead, once you have an idea start looking for independent source material. So long as your text sticks to what the sources say, you can't be accused of not being neutral. After all, Wikipedia is trusted both because it's ubiquitous and because it writes neutrally. Finally, we don't allow articles on just any subject (though it may seem like we do). We have notability criteria which constrains what can be written about. Be sure to check your ideas against our criteria to see if we'll even allow the subject. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:33, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
