Please don't create articles with all-caps titles or all-caps text. I have cleaned up the article GREENWOOD PARK of DES MOINES IOWA and moved it to Greenwood Park (Des Moines); you should do the same with the rest of the articles which you have created. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:08, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Draft:History of City of Des Moines Parks and Recreation
You have confusingly marked the draft as both pending review and as not submitted for review. I can only say that it is obviously not ready to be submitted to article space. It reads like a draft of a school essay or presentation, rather than an encyclopedic article. It is not complete and contains remarks for yourself on what to add to it. The first paragraph is editorializing - '... then the U.S. Government “purchased” these prairies and small groves from the indigenous Indians as part of the push west of “civilization”'. (An encyclopedic article needs to stick to facts; see the policy of neutrality.) It is not properly formatted and contains no references. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:21, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Grandview Park (Des Moines, Iowa)


The article Grandview Park (Des Moines, Iowa) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "The article is incoherent, written for some reason in the form of a timeline. The information is entirely unsourced, the subject appears unnotable, and the sentence structure (including its many ellipses) suggest that this may entirely consist of quotes (making it a copyright violation)."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 18:04, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
