You're going about this the wrong way
Hi. I noticed you made Draft:Order of the International Police & Public Safety Medal and User:Okfarmerjohn/sandbox. I think these reveal a problem with your mindset. Rather than write what you think you know, search for reliable sources whether online, or in a library, etc. and then write a narrative that takes from what those sources say. When you start out with an idea and start writing before you find sources, you will be met with rejection on Wikipedia. Instead, once you have an idea start looking for independent source material. So long as your text sticks to what the sources say, you can't be accused of not being neutral. After all, Wikipedia is trusted both because it's ubiquitous and because it writes neutrally. Finally, we don't allow articles on just any subject (though it may seem like we do). We have notability criteria which constrains what can be written about. Be sure to check your ideas against our criteria to see if we'll even allow the subject. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 00:33, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
