Hello! Polar Mermaid,
I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering or curious about why your article submission was declined please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:29, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Style & global catastrophic risk
[edit]Look at this when you get the chance: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Section_headings (it's a part of the Manual of Style, Wikipedia's big book of style guidelines for articles). Specifically that: "The provisions in Article titles (above) generally apply to section headings as well (for example, headings are in sentence case, not title case)." -- section headings are capitalized like sentences, not like titles. So for example a section heading would be written as "Existential risk" and not "Existential Risk" (without quotemarks of course). I thought I would just go fix it myself but I thought you or the other editor might be editing that article right now so I won't mess with it, and maybe you'd be interested in reading the manual of style for yourself. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 17:33, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot! We'll get the section headings fixed. Polar Mermaid (talk) 17:39, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
