User talk:Idiaal

I have all the sources in an Excel file, and I will start to insert references right away. I'm not very good at creating wikipedia pages, so I'm a bit worried that the layout of the Hendrik Kerstens page may seem unprofessional. Could someone explain or help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

Ways to improve Hendrik Kerstens
Hi, I'm Mduvekot. Idiaal, thanks for creating Hendrik Kerstens!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. In its current form, the article reads like advertising copy. Please rewrite to represent a neutral point of view.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
