Suggested improvements given at your draft
I have left comments on improving your draft, embedded throughout the article linked: Draft:Oconomowoc Lake Club. Please review, and you can remove my individual comments once you address each issue. Overall good concept, but this needs to be made less advertisement and more serious encyclopedic article.

Your draft has some good potential, but you need to remove the tourist/advertising stuff, and focus on the serious historical/cultural significance of the OLC, using citations to serious history books, news articles, etc. MatthewVanitas (talk) 07:36, 6 June 2014 (UTC)


 * BTW, it looks like you and others are in some kind of school program in Oconomowoc that's drafting articles about the town? Of all the articles of those I've seen yet, yours is the one most likely to publish, since the OLC has a well-documented history, so please do follow the advice given on your draft page, and we can probably get this published after one or two more tries.

Is this part of a school program?
Hello, I'm seeing a ton of new articles about the same town, Oconomowoc. Is this part of a school program? If so, can you let us know who your teacher is so we can give her some suggestions as to how best for the students to get their articles approved? A lot of them appear to be choosing topics that will be very hard to get published, so Wikipedia volunteers would like to talk to y'all about that.

If so, can you, or your teacher, or another student rep drop by WP:Teahouse to explain your efforts so that we can help y'all organize them to flow more smoothly? MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:14, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
