Hi,

The reason why i am trying to post the article about FuturICT is because i am a supporter of the project. The project is a non-profit research group, who are trying to secure EU funding for a large scale research project. As such, i dont believe there is a conflict of interest that i am trying to post the article, and as a non-profit group, it is not advertising for commercial gain, but merely to inform people of the project.

Can you please help me to get this article published, to help inform people about the project?

What do i need to do, or how do i need to change the article to get it published.

Thank you

Regards Kieran


 * On first read, the article seems more like FuturICT's publicity material than an objective, neutral encyclopedia article. One simple change is this: Focus more on the what than on the why. You've got several sections explaining the intent behind the project, discussing the potential. But very little of the article actually talks about what FuturICT actually is. You mention a goal, but don't discuss the goal until later in the article. It's unclear from the lead section what exactly we're referring to, here - What is the actual project? It's one of six projects, fine - but that tells us very little about FuturICT itself.


 * Start here - describe FuturICT in one sentence, without using the words "will" "potential" or "visionary". In theory, you'll then have a neutral nexus for an article. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 21:35, 9 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I started tagging the article with some "maintain"-boxes. Please fix them before submitting the article. Keep in mind: every fact has to be verifiable by the reader through references! mabdul 23:46, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I see you are working on an article about that. You may want to read WP:N and Articles for deletion/Guardian Angels for a Smarter Life. Uʔ (talk) 14:48, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
