Formatting issues at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/International Commission against the Death Penalty
Hello Icomdp, I see you're submitting a trimmed-down version of your article, but the problem is that you apparently just copy-pasted the text as it was displayed in Read mode (rather than actually the code shown in Edit mode). You "copy" only picked up the actual literal letters shown on the screen, so your new version has no links, no footnotes, etc. Whenever you copy-paste any amount of text in Wikipedia, be sure that you are copying the actual code viewable in Edit mode, not just the words you see while reading it.

Fortunately, nothing is "lost" since we can just go "back in time" using the "History" tab at the top of the draft. Let me bring up an older copy, and I'll do a quick removal of some of the overly-promotional phrasing without removing all the footnotes and the like. It may still need a little work after that, but I can save your links/footnotes and get things going in the right direction.

The big thing you want to do to make it more neutral it to include coverage of the ICDP from outside the immediate dp-advocacy movement, bringing in cites from academic or news media sources. MatthewVanitas (talk) 12:21, 8 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I reverted back to your previous version, and then I made some basic cuts to overly-promotional language, tightened things up a bit, and pointed out some passages that must have some outside endorsement of impact or else be removed. Please check out my comments at the top, and changes below. MatthewVanitas (talk) 13:05, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice.
