Article submission
FAN1967: My goal is to submit biographical information re: Dr. Weiss. I think my unfamiliarity with the article submission process is causing delays. I've read several of the guides, but I seem to keep getting declined. Can you identify what it is about my current article submission that causes it to be declined?
 * The problem is that it does not read like an article. It reads like a self-promotional advertisement, which is, quite frankly, what it appears to be. Of course, whenever someone creates such an article, they always argue that they are just trying to "submit biographical information" or some such, and the claim is met with some skepticism. That is why we recommend that articles not be written by subjects or those associated with them. It may be possible for such a person to create a genuinely neutral, encyclopedic article, but I don't know if I've seen it happen yet. Fan-1967 21:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I understand the skepticism, but my goal is to meet your standards and have Martin Weiss included in this online reference source. I consider Dr. Weiss to be on the same level as other financial writers and experts that appear on your pages (Jim Cramer, Daria Dolan and Bill Bonner). I've attempted to emulate what they've presented. If my style is still too promotional, I will change it.
