I would note that the preferred term for the content of the encyclopedia is "article", not "page" which has a broader meaning. 331dot (talk) 14:27, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Erin Williams (January 18)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Spinster300 were:

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.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 after they have been resolved.

Erin Williams[edit]

Hi. I just did a pretty significant edit on the Erin Williams draft. There was a lot of content related to the issues that Williams addresses rather than Williams or her work. I think that's what the previous reviewer was referring to when they cited the tone of the article as a reason for its decline.

I tried not to change the intent of your words, but I'm not sure that I succeeded. Please give it a look and change as you see fit (but be sure you are sticking strictly to Erin Williams and her book). Feel free to ping me when you've edited the draft and I will review it. Thanks! Julie JSFarman (talk) 04:35, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for your edits and feedback, Julie. That was helpful.

Is this paragraph problematic for the tone? :: Additionally, reviews of Commute describe the memoir as "a necessary addition to the medium of graphic narrative, long dominated by men." Commute adds to a small but growing genre of graphic memoirs authored by women that focus on diving into vulnerable aspects of their lives. This genre includes work by cartoonists Ellen Forney, Teresa Wong, and Lucy Knisley. Commute contributes to diversifying the medium of graphic narratives, highlighting an all-too-common story experienced by women. ::

Thank you for reviewing the draft. Unicornnerd (talk) 16:58, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking forward to reading (experiencing) Commute. I know it is an important book.

The tone of the paragraph is fine; it's really about the content. It needs to be about Erin and the book, specifically. Are there reviews that address the writing or the illustration (or the subject matter as it relates to Erin, personally)? Also, be specific if you include reviews. For example: "In a 2019 review in The Guardian, Kristin Radtke wrote that Williams' illustrations of her body were 'rough' and 'reality-based', noting that the material was 'difficult and sometimes shame-filled'. (Again, just an example - I have not read the other reviews used as references.)

Hope that is helpful! Julie JSFarman (talk) 18:40, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. Your explanation about how to use the reviews really helps. Unicornnerd (talk) 19:44, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Julie, I wanted to say (1) I think the article looks good to go and (2) I just read your user profile page and was totally blown away--I have so much respect for your work. Thanks for all you are doing. Unicornnerd (talk) 13:55, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1) So glad! 2) Thank you (I must have exaggerated on my user page) and 3) Thanks for writing the article and I hope you continue to contribute. JSFarman (talk) 18:20, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
