Your submission at Articles for creation: Jonathan McCollum (March 7)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DGG was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

he's possibly notable , but this is a little promotional. Discuss the book once only., and not in the lede. Give reviews as references, not in text.

List all his books. If thee are more than 2, there;'s no need to list articles, but otherwise list his 2 or 3 most cited.

Omit all words or phrases of praise or excellence; the material should speak for itself.

Separate the part of his carrer as a musicologist from the pasrt about him as musician.

and, since this is your only contribution, and since it is written in exactly the format of a press release, it is reasonable to ask whether you are a connected contributor, in which case you must declare the connection. Please see our rules on Conflict of Interest If you are writing this for pay or as a staff member of the organization, see also WP:PAID for the necessary disclosures.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Thank you for these helpful editorial comments, DGG. I am carefully following all of your directions in this revision. I have sought a more formal and neutral tone, mentioned books only once and removed from the lede, and delegated reviews to references. I am removing any indications of praise and cleanly separating artistic from academic pursuits. There is no conflict of interest. I am a musicologist, so I know Jon McCollum’s work well and can confirm it is having an impact. I have never been his teacher, student, lover, family member or anything like that, and have never even been employed by the same institution, just a professional colleague with some shared interests. I am not in any way compensated – no quid pro quo - for writing this entry. I hope some version of this article can be accepted since it seems worthwhile to have academic profiles on Wikipedia, and he is doing significant work.
