Your email
Hello,. I'm replying to your email here because I can see no reason at all why the discussion should not be public. I'm not sure why you have asked me to help you publish Draft:Batlang Comma Serema, but I'm afraid my answer is that I have no interest in working on this draft. What I will say (which I have said to many other new editors who tried to create articles) is that trying to create an article as the first thing you do on Wikipedia is like trying to build a house as your first ever building project, or giving a public recital as the first thing you do when you start learning to play the violin. My advice (always) is to put aside the idea of creating a new page for several months, and "learn the trade" by making improvements to some of our six million existing articles. In the meantime you can read about your first article, notability, referencing for beginners, to help prepare you for when you go back to the mammoth task of trying to create an article.
 * One further point: editors who start by trying to create an article (especially about a public figure) often turn out to be more interested in presenting that figure to the world than in helping develop Wikipedia. If that is the case for you, then please read what Wikipedia is not and conflict of interest. --ColinFine (talk) 15:33, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I, too, received an email from you and would also prefer to discuss things here on Wikipedia. Although I agree with that writing an acceptable Wikipedia article is a challenge and more difficult than many people imagine, I do not think that it is as difficult as playing the violin or building a house. I wrote my first article on Wikipedia a month after I became an editor and it still remains as do all the other new articles I have written; more than 100 of them. I spent a lot of time studying Wikipedia's policies and guidelines though, and also studied important procedures like proper referencing. Your next step is to study Referencing for beginners, and then convert all of your existing references to inline references. Good luck. Cullen328 (talk) 18:23, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
