Syro-Lebanese of Egypt article
Hi Matthew,

My submitted article, the "Syro-Lebanese of Egypt" now has citations and references, as well as less wikilinks to make the article clearer. It should be good to go since I followed exactly what you told me was wrong with my first submission. How do I resend it to you guys? Will you automatically check the newly edited page for it to be reassessed? Thanks in advance, I appreciate your help with creating this wiki page.

Scrambled eggs
You are now telling me that Wikipedia is not a recipe book, but that is what I have been trying to tell you. The whole description of scrambled eggs seems to be from a list of recipes? However when I add a recipe, which is much older than the others on the page, and show that it comes from - Cassell's Dictionary of Cooking with Numerous Illustrations [Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co.:London] 1874 ---ibid (p. 202), you are still reverting it. You seem to be acting in a very elitist way with newcomers trying to use, and explore Wikipedia, and you have given me no help so far?

Afghanistan-Iran relations
"Following the 1978 Saur Revolution and the September 1979 assassination of Afghan President Nur Muhammad Taraki, the Soviet Union sent around 100,000 troops to the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan to help its southern neighbor defeat a nationwide mujahideen insurgency." This is very misleading. The Soviets didn't invade Afghanistan to fight the mujahideen, though it's what they ended up doing, they invaded it to overthrow the government of Hafizullah Amin, the man responsible for Taraki's death.89.121.160.79 (talk)

Permyak Salty Ears
Dear Sir, On June 29 you rejected my article for being short of references. Probably you didn't realise, but the article is simply a translation of the Russian language article of the same name http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Пермяк_солёные_уши I have added this reference at the end of the article so you can see it but usually that would be superfluous. I suggest that (hopefully) after the article is accepted I will cross reference it with the Russian language page on the left hand side and remove the reference at the end of the page.

Allan deSouza
Hi Matthew,

Last week you gave me a lot of help in creating Shambhavi Singh's page, which I really appreciated. I'm working on creating a page for another artist, Allan deSouza, who is in many ways more widely known, published, and exhibited than Singh. I'm still having trouble getting his page published, though - I just made a few changes, adding academic references and links from GoogleBooks, as well as reformatting his exhibition list a bit. If you wouldn't mind taking a look at his page (I just resubmitted it with the recent edits), I'd really appreciate it. The page can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Allan_deSouza. Thanks a lot!

Cheers, Claire

Thanks
Thanks for your constructive criticism of my article "Permyak salty ears", which helped to get it accepted. I'm still new at this game and don't know all the rules yet, so bear with me.

Saccharo Wine
Mr. Vanitas,

I changed my submission for Saccharo Wine to reflect a more neutral point of view. I am not the creator of the wine, however I am an owner of a winery that makes it. Currently there is no federal accepted name for this type of wine. It is classified under "other wine".

Basi, and Kilju if offered for legal sale in the United States would also fall under the classification of "other wine". However even "other wine" according to federal law, must have a name that accurately reflects the nature of the wine. Saccharo is the latin word for "from Sugar". Like Basi, that is fermented in clay jars, and Kilju that is made from any type of sugar product, Saccharo uses only cane sugar of at least 50% then blends other natural agricultural products other than grapes to account for other sugars. Traditional wine making techniques to ferment the cane sugar base to 12%, as well as traditional racking and aging practices are also used.

Saccharo Wine is currently not for sale in the United States. It is a real wine, that is currently being classified by the federal govt.

It will be for legal sale in Nov 2014.

HILTON - Auto Designer article - Thanks!!
Hi Matt,

Thanks so much for the great tips! I will make this short and sweet for you: I plan on doing several articles on Car Designers, and this is my first. So thanks :-). I have made and saved all your suggested changes. How do I resubmit to you or anyone else for approval?? Comments: - I cannot find anything online for the birth date of Hilton, what should I do? - I have received permission to use 4 previously publicized original photos from Motorcity Europe. How should I 'prove' this for use here?? - How do I upload the approved photos? According to HELP, I first need to have the article approved, then I can upload photos?

Thanks again so much. next time will be smoother! I will implement any further suggestions asap. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/David_Hilton_-_Auto_Designer&oldid=588876817

Andre Harvey (sculptor) article submission
Hello,

Looks like my first attempt didn't cut it (unless it was the cheese). Sorry for the stench, but any advise on what I did wrong or what I could do to make it better (enough to not stink) and pass the test would be greatly appreciated.

Update: I have added several references to the article. Please let me know if I need to add more. Some of the references cross verify content and I could have used reference numbered items more than once in some cases. Please let me know if I should do that and the best way to do so.

Thank you for your time reviewing this article, I appreciate it.

Kevin Morris Author Page
Hi Matthew!

Recently, an article I wrote for Kevin Morris was accepted and put online. My bosses who represent Mr. Morris have asked me to inquire if there is anyway we can remove the part of the page that says "this entry has issues"? Please let me know if there is anyway I can do, add, or delete from the page to have that taken off.

Here is a link to the live page for your reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Morris_(author)

I have also contacted Darylgolden who initially accepted the article.

Any help you can give me is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Megan

Rejected as too chatty OK
Mr. Vanitas,

I took your point on the chatty references and removed them. I have presented Mr. Gilden as straight-forwardly as seemed appropriate after looking at other entries. I do believe many other entries are far chattier by the way. However,Mr. Gilden is a recognized author and a leading light in the science fiction writing community. During his years as host for Hour-25 and now as one of those trying to negotiate the hazards of online publishing, he has personally been in contact with virtually every major sf writer of the past half century. I do believe he should be available via Wikipedia and would appreciate your help in getting him there. My resubmission contains references to the transition to electronic publishing in which Gilden is a pioneer and being watched—if especially like a sacrificial calf.

Any further assistance from you will be appreciated.

Yahosheanism
The first user is a colleague of mine. Yahosheanism as we earlier said is a religious tradition. Re-established by Yahmarabhi Ha Meshiyach a Nigerian born personality. We are sacred name broadcasters. Yahosheanism, Yahosheans, are believers in Yahoshea Meshiyach. This is our religion.

Yahosheanism is a religious tradition that was established in south east geopolitical zone of Nigeria in 1960. The founder of the tradition was Yahmarabhi Ha Meshiyach whose teachings centered on Hebrew Messianic customs and traditions.

Yahosheanism holds that the true name of the creator is Yahweh and the true name of the saviour is Yahoshea Meshiyach while the truly manifested comforter is prophet Yahmarabhi Ha Meshiyach who is the founder of the religious tradition.

The tradition holds itself as a separate establishment outside Judaism and Christianity – thereby describing itself as operating in the middle way between both religious traditions. The concept is explained through observation of majority of religious practices related to Judaism and equally believing in the manifestation of the saviour (the Hebrew messiah) whom the movement identify as Yahoshea Mashiyach.

By this nature of operation, observers place the group under the sects that profess messianic Judaism though the sect has always pronounced that it is never a Judaist member.

Yahosheanism is one of the modern bodies that claim to the apostolic succession as it hold that the Yahoshea Meshiyach promise of sending comforter who will continue from where he stopped and to lead his disciples in his approved way is the foundation of the tradition.

The tradition holds that at the due moment, Yahoshea Meshiyach (Hebrew Messiah) sent prophet Yahmarabhi whom he positioned as the promised comforter and through him, the modern Assemblies of Yahoshea Meshiyach was found and all sacred tradition of the saviour been revealed and re-established for mortals to follow.

HISTORY: Yahosheanism was established in Nigeria in 1960 by Yahmarabhi Ha Meshiyach. The origin of the religious tradition started by the revelation, birth of the founder and his latter transference from his biological community in Ogbia ethnic nationality in present day Bayelsa sate to Kalabari land in Rivers State of same Nigeria.

As he came to Abonnema in Kalabari land, he began to teach and practice the traditions of Sabbath observers in Christianity. This character changed in 1980 when he introduced the sacred names of Yahweh for the creator and Yahoshea Meshiyach for the saviour of mankind to his disciples whom he named Yahosheans.

Through his efforts, a revelationary book was written for the sect with the name – Holy Original Inspired Scriptures (HOIS) which is the sole scriptural authority of the body although with partial reference to some portions of Bible that suit the characteristics and practices of the movement.

The Holy Originally Inspired Scriptures made provision for the articles or epistles of the disciples under the heading as – “The Works of Disciples of Prophet Yahmarabhi” to be part of the work.

The holy book had nine great chapters that are grouped as, the Revelations of Prophet Yahmarabhi (ROPY), the Songs of Prophet Yahmarabhi (SOPY), Epistles of Prophet Yahmarabhi, The Parables of Prophet Yahmarabhi, Upgraded Words of Wisdom, Litanies of Yahweh, the Works of Disciples of Prophet Yahmarabhi.

By the authority of the scriptures invested upon disciples to develop articles in support of the master Yahmarabhi, many Epistles and lecturers of disciples came into existence.

Yahosheanism spread easily in eastern block of Nigeria because of some reasons. First was based on the spiritual strength of prophet Yahmarabhi that produced numerous miracles and wonders in his missionary life. Miracles attracted many disciples to the sect. Next was a favourable ground that was made possible by the new spirit of messianic consciousness in the eastern Nigerian territory.

In 1970s, many converts left Christianity to embrace the newly emerging messianic Judaism and its related movements. Missionaries of Assembles of Yahweh from United States of America came to unstill the consciousness of Messianics in the territory and as prophet Yahmarabhi began to teach distinctive doctrines from the other messiance bodies, he made more converts because of the power of miracle in his sect.

By this development, the Holy Assembly of Yahoshea Meshiyach established many stations outside Abonnema town as it started its operations in a short period of time. Other stations includes Buguma, Omoku, Yenagua, Ogoni, Andoni, Degema, Ifoko, Ido, Samaa, Sangama, Port Harcourt, Epogiriya in Ogoja province, Ibele in Igboland, Makurdi in Benue state and Lagos.

The religious tradition was introduced to United States of America by Chosen Alleluyah Wine while some converts live in some other parts of Europe.

PERSECUTION: Yahosheans were seriously persecuted during the Nigerian civil war by Biafran soldiers in 1967 to 1970. Some of the reason of the hatred and persecution is due to the sect’s stand on anti-military service of its members. Biafran soldiers that occupied all riverine territories during the civil war saw the position of Yahosheans as a threat to their struggle for national independence hence took the members as enemy of the struggle.

Many Yahosheans were arrested, maltreated and humiliated with inclusion of prophet Yahmarabhi whom they forced to prophesy of their victory and as the religious leader refused prophesying for the victory of Biafra, his sect was seen as enemy of the Biafran nation.

As the war ended in 1970, Yahosheanism faced the threat of Christianity in the area who views the members with suspicions and as people that are teaching heresies and as schisms.

Some Christians under the influence of government power and offices tried to frustrate the movement with confiscational of personal properties of the founder of the movement that he willed to the sect.

ESTABLISHMENT AND STRUCTURES: Yahosheanism is structured in the manner of early apostolic assembly that was founded by the saviour of mankind.

Members are identified by the name – Yahosheans and all are grouped to various grades. Members are equally addressed as disciples of prophet Yahmarabhi or Yahmarabhilites.

The tradition holds that its member must observe the emersion baptism as believers and has no recognition to infant baptism. Un-baptized infants are grouped from children of the age of their birth to twelve years of age. This category of members are identified as un-baptized students.

The baptized members are grouped under the first grade called the students, other grades are – disciples, assistant meshiyach, meshiyach (anointed) Yahmarabhi inner circle (YIC), chosen ones and this forms the order of seniority of members.

There are offices of prophetic class which include – most senior prophet, senor prophets and prophets. There are priestly class that are made of most senior priest, deputy most senior priest, senior priests and priests and these are the orders of seniority.

There are offices of fathers and mothers of the movement. There are equally administrative offices that include leader general, secretary general, teacher general, song director, national chairmen, state chairmen, council chairmen and station leaders and such form their order of seniority.

Duties of all grades of members as well as those of spiritual and administrative officers are spelt out in the holy originally inspired scripture (HOIS) and the constitution of the movement.

DOCTRINES AND PRACTICES: Yoshosheanism observe majority of Hebrew traditional practices and rites but based on the pattern put forth by Yahmarabhi ha Meshiyach.

The foremost doctrines of the movement is enshrined in the holy originally inspired scriptures. The movement believe strictly on three major laws that hold as follows – firstly, that each convert must believe, reverence and address the creator in his holy name – Yahweh through his begotten son – Yahoshea Meshiyach and affirm that prophet Yahmarabhi is the comforter of mankind.

Secondly, each convert must keep the Sabbath day rest as a certain religious rite. Sabbath day fall within the sunset of Friday to sunset of Saturday of every week. The weekly Sabbath is collaborated by hourly worship or fellowship in all congregational stations. The hourly fellowships are observed on 3.00am, 12.00am and 5.00pm daily.

Thirdly, the law of love of oneself more than others is a certain religious rite.

By the prescriptions of holy originally inspired scriptures, Yahosheanism practices doctrines of feast observation. Such festivals include – feast of new year that falls on 31st day of march which the movement identify as the first day of Abib. Abib is the Hebrew month equivalent to April of Christian calendar.

Other festivals includes the feast of atonement on 10th Abib (April), feast of first fruit in 5th day of 3rd month (June), feast of reconciliation on 13th day of 4th month (July), the feast of Yahoshea’s birthday on 2nd day of 7th month (October), the feast of last- in - gathering on 13th day of 7th month (October), the feast of the tabernacle on 14th – 20th day of 7th month (October), feast of comforter’s birthday on 28th day of the 7th month (October) and the holy convocation on 30th day of the seventh month (October).

All the festivals and their meanings are enumerated in the Holy original inspired scriptures (HOIS).

The Yahosheanism is a monotheist movement and belief in unity of the creator Yahweh. It does not belief in trinity. It does not belief the doctrine of duality that exist in the believe of existence of satan. To Yahosheanism, satan or devil do not exist so all scriptures or articles that post that satan exists is unacceptable to converts. Yahosheans believe that satan and all stories of its existence are acts of mythologies and heresies.

Yahosheanism tradition believe the doctrine of Karma and re-incarnation and does not recognize the thought that hold of the existence of hell-fire, judgment day, rapture, Armageddon war and the final destruction of satan. Yahosheans count these doctrines as products of mythologies of the ancient pagans.

The movement do not belief on cross as object of torture to Yahoshea Meshiyach, it does not believe that Yahoshea shed his blood at Calvary because it holds that Yahoshea was a full spirit but in a human nature, therefore, he possessed no blood.

The movement do not believe that any soul will be lost or thrown to hell fire, rather it holds that from Yahweh all things come and to Yahweh all things will return meaning that there will be no loss in spirit.

The movement has its own method of Yahoshean prayer and creed that is recited after each prayer.

The movement does not believe in weekly Eucharist rather it holds the doctrine of observation of annual Passover feast of one week period in which consecrated unleavened bread and unity cup is served to the members by the most senior priest.

The sect observes seven year shaving of members. This rite is proceeded by a month fasting period. The movement equally engages in one month fasting period on their 7th month (October) as they claim that all major prophets of Yahweh were born on the 7th month of the year. All days or dates that festivals are observed are non-fast observing days and all days or dates of the feasts falling on weekly Sabbath days becomes high Sabbath days.

ECCLESIASTICAL VESTMENTS: Yahosheanism is a garment – wearing movement. Converts are obliged to wear costumes of various colours that suit to their various grades.

Chosen ones put on blue coloured costumes, Yic put on light blue colour, meshiyachs put on red, assistant meshiyach put on brown, disciples put on white colour, baptized students put on pink colour while children students put on black colour. The Levites or priests put on green coloured costumes. Each member guides his costume with various coloured mantles with exception of black colour that is reserved for prophet Yahmarabhi alone.

WORSHIP: Yahosheanism commences its weekly worship on Sabbath morning with Sabbath school session that starts by 9.00am. The Sabbath proper worship commences by 11.30am and end by 3.00am. Members are directed to visit hospitals and home of destitutes to render arms and to pray with them. This visitation ends along the Sabbath day observation that closes on Sabbath evening.

During worship, recitations of introit and the song of prophet Yahmarabhi, prayers, songs (with local drums) and sermon from Holy originally inspired scriptures is observed and these are identified as the order of worship.

LEADERSHIP: Yahosheanism has an established leadership format. Yahmarabhi ha Meshiyach was the most senior prophet and the president general of the Assembly, he was the chief trustee of the movement.

Behind him are other appointed officers but by the will of the comforter which was adopted as the working instrument of the movement on its second council of Port Harcourt prescribe that the next king of Yahcity will be revealed after the exit of the leader.

By the direction of the will, the next king of Yahcity must be the next leader that will succeed prophet Yahmarabhi ha Meshiyach.

Though this revelation has not been fulfilled, but many officers are claiming to be the leaders of the movement.

The movement had its headquarter at a vast parcel of land named Yahcity in Buguma territory of Kalabari land, Rivers State. The leader appointed Omoku station as the national headquarter of the movement.

Before his translation on 15th January, 1997, prophet Yahmarabhi appointed chosen Raziah Bala who is the secretary general to be the administrator of Yahcity. Chosen Noal Amadike of Omoku station was appointed as the national chairman of the assembly while Meshiyach Yahzitere Yahmarabhi was specially ordained as a Yahmarabhilite on 28th October 1995.

Both officers are in disagreement over leadership in the assembly. Both chosen Rasiah and chosen Noah are claiming as successsors of Prophet Yahmarabhi. The disagreement between both officers has sent the movement backward.

Presently, Noah Amadike has started assuming supernatural status by claiming to be a prophet as he identifies himself as the “Noah of the New Age” while chosen Raziah is maintaining the doctrine and with claim that the prophet handed the ministry to him by the appointment of the sole administrator of Yahcity. Truly, the comforter’s will spelt that the next leader must be the king of Yahcity and such officer must be product of revelation from the prophetic class.

PROPAGATION: Yahosheanism spread faster than other related Hebrew syncretism in Nigeria because of the literal appreciation of its converts. Yahmarabhi ha Meshiyach initiated the literal works by writing of many pamphlets and articles that propagate the practices of the movement.

Some of the earlier works of Yahmarabhi are - Excuse me, is God a pagan idol? Vol.I, Excuse me vol. 2 - Is man-made religion on fire?, vol. 3 - Did religion deceived you?, vol. 4 - who is the enemy of Bible?. He wrote holy originally inspired scripture (HOIS), the preacher‘s guide, special prayer of prophet Yahmarabhi etc.

This spurred his disciples to write many books that includes – The Hard Truth vol. 1 by Meshiyach Yahzitere Yahmarabhi. Hard Truth vol. 2 by Meshiyach Yahzitere Yahmarabhi, the works of disciples of prophet Yahmarabhi, by Mahiyach Yahzitere Yahmarabhi.

The disciples of the prophet have equally used various newspaper publications to propagate the message of the movement. Such journals include – The Coastal Express, Temple newspapers, moonlight newspapers and Newswriter Newspapers etc.

The movement has involved in production of tracks, video preachings, music production, internet services to propagate the message.

Cokodeal references challenge
Thank you sir for the review on the Cokodeal draft.

Princely Aristocratic Republic of Koprivshtitsa article issues
Hello, I have noticed that my article titled "Princely Aristocratic Republic of Koprivshtitsa" has been declined by you. Firstly, I would like to thank you for the review, and secondly, I would like to clear up the issue you mentioned. You said that the republic was not mentioned in the internet. I would like to reply with the fact that the pages I cited stated that "Koprivshtitsa was a Princely Aristocratic Republic" and "It was a city state" (it said that in Bulgarian). Therefore, I concluded that the republic was known as the "Princely Aristocratic Republic of Koprivshtitsa". Sometimes, you do not know the exact name of a historic state. For example, historians don't know the exact name of the former country "Caucasian Albania", but the name "Caucasian Albania" is used because it was a country located in the Caucasus, and called by foreign sources, Albania. Therefore, I think my use of the name "Princely Aristocratic Republic of Koprivshtitsa" is justified.

There are 2 books that mention the republic, they are: "Aspects de l `Organisation economique des Greces dans l `Empire Ottoman", written by A. Hadschimichalis, and published in Paris, France in 1953, and the second book is "Le Livre d*Or de la Noblesse Phanariote", written by E. R. Rhangabe.

My Internet-based sources regarding the existance of the principality/republic include: http://www.imperativ.net/imp4/8.html http://www.graal.org.ua/en/theodoro-principality/the-gavras-dynasty/3-dinastia http://www.protobulgarians.com/Statii%20za%20prabaalgarite/Redki%20familni%20imena.htm

As mentioned, I have 1 Bulgarian language source acknowledging the republic, one Russian, one English, and 2 French.

Regarding whether or not the republic was recognized by the international community, it does not say. It was recognized by the Ottoman Empire, as the Ottomans carved the republic out of their own land, and the citizens of the republic had de-facto control.

I hope that you reconsider allowing my page to be uploaded, I thank you for your time, and I wish you a fine day.

Hi Matthew. I would prefer to use StephenR0354 rather than Kara Moana Healey as this user name is not appropriate. StephenR0354 better reflects me as a user. I tried to delete and start again but I am not a proficient user of Wikipedia so I created a new user etc. I would be happy to delete my original user profile Kara Moana Healey if that is possible. Thanking you for your advises. Stephen R (Grandson of Kara Moana Healey deceased.)

Matthew, I come to you for assistance because you seem incredibly knowledgeable and like to help other people who contribute. I have created a page John M. Dougan that was nominated for deletion. The person who nominated refuses to provide clarification on why, other than saying there appears to be a conflict of interest. Of course, there is none. I write about subjects that interest me and this is one of the subjects that interest me. He also claims the sources aren't good enough. I am using some of the largest newspapers in the country! I don't get it and I am just looking to make this article better. I know it may not be your area, but Wikipedia is created by people with interests in certain topics. I grew up in Russia and love people that fight against the government, so this man is very interesting to me. I beg you to check out the page and the talk page and give me guidance since this other person who is marking my items for deletion refuses to do so. I thank you VERY much in advance and please contact me at a_borodina@outlook.com for your convenience. You are great!

Dear Matthew Thank you for your review and response

based on your comment, I have two points to clarify Point no 1: you have suggested to get references from neutral party my response: In the reference section I have highlighted Khaleej times( News paper of UAE) carrying out an article and covering him as a speaker addressing a gathering of participants, the scanned copies of these originals are available with me and I can forward to your mail if you need them, these are three in number on the date I have mentioned. Khaleej times does not have a weblink of these as these are old and have shared with me the scanned original page

Point no 2: Zuhoori name

in these references of above it is titled as shihabdeen as per his original name, you will not find zuhoori, if this is seen as an issue then I can edit the title of his page as per his original name hypen Madhanisha zuhoori

Please let me know if you need any thing else

Article on "Jackson Pyrotechnic Explosion (Chester, PA)"
Hello Mr. Vanitas,

Thank you for taking your time to comment on my proposed article. I have added an additional reference and I have also added to the article that this disaster was the impetus to establish the first hospital in Chester, Pennsylvania. I am now citing 3 references: newspaper articles from 1882, 1912 and 1963.

I appreciate your comments and your help. Having just retired last year as a senior professional in my field, it is very humbling to be a newcomer to Wikipedia trying to get my first article published.

Again, thank you for your help.

Regards,

Bill McDade

Hi Matthew. I think I've updated and submitted the draft correctly now :/ ... the draft is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Cheltenham_OLBG_Mares%27_Handicap_Hurdle. i find it very confusing!

Hi Matthew.

This is disappointing to hear. We are the promotional arm of the governing body of British horseracing (see our website: http://www.greatbritishracing.com/#/8RfED6Vk5XiKMGua.97).

What kind of references do you wish me to obtain to get verification on this page?

Many thanks,

James.

Matthew, Thank you for reviewing my article. I understand your concerns regarding the officiality of the holiday. I changed "official" to "unofficial" and stated that it is beginning this year. Since it is beginning this year, there are not many sources to cite yet. I will be building up this holiday page throughout the year, adding content and more source articles as they become available.

Is this enough to have the article published?

Hi there. I see you declined my review request for a college page. Well that's completely fine. I'm fairly a newbie. I'll improve. Well this college I was writing about was ordinary one in a rural area with no such historic influence or alumni base. I actually wanted to write a very simple article as it didn't have many references to put on. I still want to edit it and remove the things you mentioned like I should have been unbaised. But I don't want to be declined again. So kindly help me make the changes. Thank you.

more references added! I figured I would create this page as there was a number of links from other Wikipedia pages to a blank Thistle Finch Distillery page.

CLEAR
Hi Matthew, I'm not even sure I'm writing this in the right place but thank you for your prompt feedback on my draft article on CLEAR. I've already tweaked it slightly as per your suggestion and I'll work on it this weekend to expand the coverage. Regards,

Wekiva River (Gulf Hammock)
Greetings Matthew,thanks for the work that you do as an editor.

I'm writing regarding the Wekiva River (Gulf Hammock) draft that I submitted. Your comment is that this material already exists.

The issue that we are dealing with is that there are 2 Wekiva Rivers within the state of Florida. Currently, Wikipedia's link to "Wekiva River (Gulf Hammock)" erroneously takes the reader to the wrong Wekiva River info. A new page containing the text I submitted needs to be created for the Wekiva River (Gulf Hammock).

The draft I submitted is correct for the Wekiva River (Gulf Hammock), a tributary of the Waccasassa River, that flows into the Gulf of Mexico. The other Wekiva River flows to the St. Johns River and eventually the Atlantic Ocean. I realize that this is confusing.

Here's the text for the Wekiva River (Gulf Hammock).

The Wekiva River originates at Wekiva Spring, in Levy County, Florida, United States. This area is known as the Gulf Hammock. From Wekiva Spring the river meanders westward and then southward about 7 miles to where it flows into the Waccasassa River. It is fed along the way by Mule Creek and the Little Wekiva River. Wekiva Spring is located at Lat. 29° 16’ 49.49” N, Long. 82° 39’ 21.90” W. Discharge at the spring head on July 30th 1997 was 26.28 ft3/s.(1)

In 1877 Christopher Wingate and his wife Emma Wingate built the Gulf Hammock Hotel on land that lies between the Wekiva and the Little Wekiva Rivers. They welcomed hunters, fishermen, and travelers from all over the world until 1905. One of the regular guests there was the American painter Herman Herzog, who visited from about 1893 to 1905. Herzog immortalized the area with over a hundred paintings, including at least seven that he named with Wekiva in the title.

Beginning about 1908 the area was logged for cypress. The giant trees were floated down to Burns Landing on the Waccasassa, then rafted downstream to the Gulf of Mexico and up the coast to the mill at Lukens, near Cedar Key.

Hi Matthew Vanitas Thank you for taking the time to review my draft article and give me constructive feedback on what I need to do to improve my submission. I've now done as you said and included six proper footnotes to substantiate specific pieces of information, rather than just include the sources in the Bibliography. The Bibliography now largely consists of background information on the individual. Please would you take a look at this latest draft and tell me if it meets Wikipedia standards or, alternatively, what more I need to do? Thanks in advance. Melanie
