Feedback
[edit]Hi Peepsys. Some feedback on your draft
- Make sure that everything is supported by sources. They should follow the statements they support directly, and it should be easy for readers to connect statements to the sources that support them. At minimum, you should have one per paragraph.
- At minimum, you need a few independent, third-party references that can be used to support the notability of the organisation. To the extent that's possible, you should rely on independent sources.
- Only the article title should be bolded. Don't bold the mission statement - that makes the article look promotional. In general, it's better to paraphrase than the quote, or to limit the quote to a few key words, if there are things in the precise wording that don't lend to paraphrasing.
- I recommend starting with the history. You want it to look and feel like an encyclopaedia entry about the org, not something promotional. Think about how you might write about an org from a century ago. What they do should be less important than what they've done, and what they aspire to do should be the least important ("show me what you've done" beats "tell me what you would like to do").

@Ian (Wiki Ed):Thank you Ian! That all makes sense. (and I am testing Ping!) Peepsys (talk) 17:17, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
- And how does Ping differ from using the double square bracket? talk Peepsys (talk) 19:13, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
