11:56:20, 14 December 2022 review of submission by Geo Edu
Dear Team of Wikipedia, We handed in an entry on “Geography Education” and our latest version was declined because it “is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia”. For us it is difficult to understand because the entry fits to the five pillars of Wikipedia. We wrote the article for the purpose that people, who do not know anything about “Geography Education” can inform themselves with the help of the Wikipedia article. We think “Geography Education” can best be described/defined by answering the fundamental questions: What is geography education? Why is geography education important? How do we learn and teach geography? and consider “Research in Geography education”.Our Geography Education article has been written with help of more than 10 professors in geography education from countries all over the world. The process of writing started in september 2021 under the auspices of the IGU-CGE and a draft version has been discussed at our 2022 IGU conference in Paris.

We are happy to change, amend and adjust the article, however we do not know how to proceed. Is it possible to E-Mail or zoom with somebody or receive a more precise feedback?

 * Who is "we"? Your account should only be operated by a single person. Do you represent a group? It appears that you have a conflict of interest in this topic area.
 * As the draft was rejected, it will not be considered further. You did not write an encyclopedia article that neutrally summarizes the topic, you wrote a piece to sell it and tout its benefits. There are places to do that, this isn't one of them. Please read the comments left by reviewers, and discuss further concerns here, for openness and transparency. If you want more of a chat, please see WP:IRC. 331dot (talk) 12:05, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Please note that Wikipdia articles never ask questions like "What is geography education?" "Why is geography education important?" and "How do we learn and teach geography?" Theroadislong (talk) 12:08, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * If that draft is a copyvio, shouldn't it be deleted? David10244 (talk) 05:30, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @Geo Edu: this is contrary to Wikipedia's purpose, in that we don't include essays, advocacy, how-to manuals, etc.; just straight-up encyclopaedia articles. And while a suitable article conceivably could be written on the subject of geography education, it would need to be approached differently. For that, I would like to refer you to WP:YFA and various essays found eg. at WP:NUTART. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:08, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
