International Cheese Awards
Your new article has some problems. First and foremost, it does not use references properly. You have included as "references" mere notes that do not point to any actual source of information, and therefore do not bolster the verifiability of the article. For example, claiming that this is the "largest cheese show in the world" with a reference that states "Based on figures for the number of competitive entries against all other cheese shows around the world" doesn't help anyone verify this fact because we don't know where you got these figures for this and other cheese shows. Check the guidelines at WP:Citing sources for instructions on how to properly create references in your article. The other major problem is that my own searches for information on this show do not turn up any significant coverage of the event in any major publications, indicating that the show may not have the notability to be included at Wikipedia. Finally, the inclusion of a section called "Our sponsors" (which I have changed) leads me to believe that you have an affiliation with the event, which represents a conflict of interest and, possibly, an attempt to used Wikipedia to promote the event. This is not allowed. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:16, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
