Essay vs article
Hi,

I've just had to decline your draft for being too essay-like, and I felt bad doing it, given that this is your first creation and you've clearly put a lot of effort into it, so I thought I'd better come and explain myself!

Writing encyclopaedia articles is different from anything else (that I've written, at least): not only is the style and tone quite unique, the topic definition can be tricky as well. Case in point: 'Threats to Seabird Populations & Conservation Efforts in Newfoundland' is such a specific topic that it may be impossible to write an encyclopaedia article on it — a great essay or magazine article subject, no doubt, and clearly an important issue, just not an easy one to address in an encyclopaedia.

I don't want you to get discouraged, though. You can almost certainly use parts of your draft in existing articles eg. on seabirds or marine conservation. You may even be able to turn this into a standalone article, if you restructure it and define the topic in a slightly more general way.

If you haven't yet looked at these, WP:YFA and WP:PERFECT provide great advice on writing an article. HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:29, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
