 * Hi Mach61,
 * Thanks for your notes.
 * This is my first Wiki article so I appreciate your input. I see you noted WP:FRINGE. Could you be more specific about what the FRINGE reference is related to?
 * The article is about a science led charity and the sources are all mainstream media articles referring to the science charity and its members, which are senior professionals and scientists. I am struggling to identify anything related to FRINGE.
 * Thank you in advance for your assistance.

 * The basic principle of our fringe theories guideline is that articles related to views well outside the scientific mainstream (for example, the claim that there are similarities between Long COVID symptoms and vaccine injuries) should contexualize those views as such, and only use the most reliable, independent sources. We also have a guideline of sourcing of biomedical claims, which discourages the use of primary and news sources. This draft fails those reqirements. Some issues:
 * The article relies far too much on the subject's own words, which is against the WP:ABOUTSELF policy. The entire "Vision" section is sourced to CONVERSE's website, as is much of the "Advocacy" section.
 * Most of the other sources are also not reliable. The Daily Mail has been deprecated, and should never be used as a source. Sky News is generally reliable, but opinion pieces, regardless of where they are published, should never be used to support factual claims.
 * Most submissions are declined, especially first submissions. Don't take this personally. Cheers, Mach61 (talk) 08:25, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks! That’s helpful, I’ll make those changes and resubmit. 120.16.224.89 (talk) 10:14, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
