15:57:55, 10 May 2015 review of submission by Skarp93
Hey, so my article titled 1930s Economic Policy of Nazis vs. USSR was reviewed and rejected. The main idea I was given on how to fix it was to make it not a comparitive of the two economics. My only problem is the point of the article is to compare the two economies. I am doing this wiki for one of my classes and that was the approved subject of my aritlce

I realize this may not be possible but I was wondering if you had any suggestions on a better place for me to put this information? Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks,

 * @Skarp93 If you are doing the comparison yourself the article can never be accepted as it falls foul of the prohibition against original research. If however you have solid sources that actually compare the two economic regimes you need to summarise and report what those sources say, your own opinions, deductions and conclusions are not relevant.

19:12:06, 10 May 2015 review of submission by Herbst77regen
Hello! I tried to sumbit an English article about the Sieben Linden Ecovillage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Sieben_Linden_Ecovillage) but it has been declined because it is supposed to be to stubbish and one reviewer found that third party references were missing. This place (Sieben Linden Ecovillage) exists and has a rather comprehensive German article on Wikipedia. I thought the English article is actually missing in Wikipedia and found it necessary to at least establish an English entry about it. My plan was to submit the very basic facts and then go on from there, especially because it doesn't have to be me who completes it. I thought that that was what Wikipedia was about - cooperation. Now I'm confused to not being able to even submit a short article. I felt that I did include sources. I am even less motivated to write a longer article now because it might just be refused again. What kind of other references should I add? Could anybody help? I am the author of a book about Sieben Linden (http://www.eurotopiaversand.de/en/Book-Print/OEko-Dorf-Welt.html) and I know a lot of facts on this project (which is visited by many English speakers, by the way); I would like to contribute but don't really feel appreciated...?

 * I've left what I hope is a far more helpful comment on your draft. I think you needed guidance on the type of sources needed, and that was not easily available to you before. Please persevere. You can ask me on my talk page, or here, if you don't understand anything and we will try to help you. Fiddle   Faddle  21:12, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
