I need help to locate the promotional line(s), and adjust the tone in the article in order to sound like a Wikipedia article.

[edit]


This is my first wikipedia article. I am revising an outdated wikipedia article about virtual world libraries in Second Life. Most of the information in the article is old and outdated. Librarians use Second Life but also other virtual worlds. I would like suggestions on how to revise this page and am confused as to why the revision was declined. I believe all the citations are now correct. USER: Valibrarian

[edit]


May I submit an article on a student feature film, Rainy Carolina? This film was written in ten days, filmed in 1 semester on 0 budget by a crew of students. It will premiere on 10 November 2018. Submission to film festivals, streamed on Amazon, a DVD created and sold, and a TV show are to follow. I have no desire to edit other Wiki pages.

  • I can tell you with complete certainty that it will be rejected if you submit it as it is now. The article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article and have reliable references. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 19:34, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. First time trying to publish on en.wiki so i need some explanation on the "No WP:INDEPENDENT" on the article in question.

There are references / links to information on https://europa.eu (Official webpage of the European Union), a research report by europarl.europa.eu (EU Parliament), and the "European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights", that all references ENIL and ENILs own reasearch. ENIL is a private member organisation, that are wholly independent of the European Union. There are also a link to the wikipedia article on "Independent_living", that explains how ENIL was founded.

Of the links under "References", 1 out of 9, are to the subjects homepage.

So i'm a little confused about the "No WP:INDEPENDENT"

Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 03:41, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
CASSIOPEIA (Not sure if i use these brackets/mentions correctly when i answer you:-) Thank you for the rapid reply :) I've updated the article with additional information and references, so there should be 6-7 secondary sources as defind in your answer. I would parhaps argue, that when an official EU report is written, that references research made by the subject in question 47 times, the official EU report is a secondary source on the subject ;-) But i do think the article got a bit better with the new information on Freedom Drive, and the references added;-)
Thanks for your help. I've resubmitted th article for review, so its just waiting and see what happens now;-)
