Hello!

Thanks for reviewing my article. I don't believe I have broken any of the rules/ guidelines of 'what wikipedia is not', and I believe my article is a warranted and worthy addition to Wikipedia.

I understand that wikipedia needs to have guidelines for their content, and I have read these guidelines carefully. I am passionate about my topic, I spent weeks researching, investigating and writing this article. (I even reached out to an online quote investigator! Here is the result). As wikipedia is a community-built resource, I believe I have the right to contribute this content. I don't understand why I am being denied this right.

The suggestion was that this page might be more suited to wikiquote. I have to disagree! As I'm sure you are aware, Wikiquote mainly contains lists of quotes from films and books. While this is a great resource, my article is not simply a list of quotes. It is an explanation of the origin behind many lines of dialogue in the film, and contains detailed references and links to great works of literature. It also contains information about the making of the film, the translation of the film from book to screen, and other relevant anecdotes.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could please reconsider my article. I don't believe it would denigrate Wikipedia in any way, or contribute to any change in its image or reputation. My article is thoroughly researched and about as academic as a an article about a kids movie can be! Please let me share this information on the almighty Wikipedia.


 * I told you not to steal the everlasting gobstoppers or the National Union of Oompa Loompas would be on your case ... anyway, on a more serious note, the quotations belong over on our sister project Wikiquote, so wander over to https://en.wikiquote.org/ and add them there.

 * The reviewers didn't do a particularly good job of explaining things to you here. They told you your article had no references, even though it did. Citations to regional news and Radio Today are perfectly acceptable, and it is not a requirement that they are integrated as footnotes in the text, though obviously we would prefer that. Furthermore, having had first hand experience in seeing how difficult it is to set up a local FM radio station, I am generally of the view that it is such a high barrier to clear that any reliably sourced article of such a station can have an article here. Therefore, I have passed your submission and it is now live at Black Country Radio. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:15, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

I do consider the subject of my article, the artist Leatrice Rose, to have been a notable person in her field, as per the references so far. . May I have the article resubmitted for review? I would like to thank all of the editors. Jayne3 Jayne3 (talk) 19:40, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
