06:20:09, 29 March 2018 review of submission by Saurav.webkul
I want to know why my submission has been declined. I made the changes in the content because of which it was declined previously.

 * It hasn't just been declined, it's been salted. This means that no-one can now create an article on "Webkul". It's time for you to abandon your attempt to abuse Wikipedia for promotional purposes. Maproom (talk) 10:04, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Added:


 * Hello the issue is that your draft is still basically just about "About Us!" page for LIM rather than an objective description. I see you've added some links, but they're just to other Lutheran Missionary organizations.
 * You're falling into a common error: you write what you know about a subject, then go back to try to add sources. What works far better is to do it the other way round: use what you know about the subject to gather a body of good sources, then clear your mind of what you know about the subject and write the draft as though all you had was said sources. I did some looking for sources and not finding a ton online, probably because it was part of Lutheran Association of Missionaries and Pilots from the 1970s until 2000. It may be that it is mentioned more in books and news articles found offline (which are okay to use, just cite them very clearly so someone could find them if needed).
 * I strongly suggest you take a look at WP:Independent sources; just adding cites to LAMP and church sites does not provide any independent perspective on LIM, so that's the big issue. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:11, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I notice that Lutheran Association of Missionaries and Pilots doesn't have any independent sourcing either. If you're having trouble substantiating facts about LIM, I suggest you could tackle improving LAMP, and then add a section at LAMP explaining that LIM split off from it in 2000, and create a Redirect so that searches for LAMP or LIM go to the same page. I notice a lot more substantiated facts about LAMP on GoogleBooks, so fixing up that article could be a good workaround. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:19, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

I am requesting assistance because I am unsure why my article was declined to be published. I was hoping that I could get some tips or feedback on what I need to change in order to make it better. Thanks. Soc221 maseitz (talk) 19:51, 29 March 2018 (UTC)


 * It was rejected because, as it says in the rejection notice, it "reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article". This probably can't be fixed – it's just not a suitable topic for a Wikipedia article. Maproom (talk) 14:43, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
