Thanks for uploading File:James E. Stewart Oklahoma Hall of Fame Portait.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.

Your submission at Articles for creation: James E. Stewart (June 23)[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 Robert McClenon 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:

This page appears to have been written to praise its subject rather than to describe the subject neutrally. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view. If this draft is resubmitted without being reworked, it may be nominated for deletion. You may ask for advice about the tone of articles at the Teahouse.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:James E. Stewart and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:James E. Stewart, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: James E. Stewart (July 4)[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 Robert McClenon were:

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.

This page appears to have been written to praise its subject rather than to describe the subject neutrally. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view.

If this draft is resubmitted without being reworked, it may be nominated for deletion. You may ask for advice about the tone of articles at the Teahouse.

This draft is still written in a non-neutral fashion. On the one hand, the subject probably does satisfy general notability. On the other hand, there is no reason to think that the current submitter will be able to write a neutrally worded article, whether in the year 2021 or the year 2022 or any other year. This draft is being declined for now rather than rejected, only because the subject probably is notable. Before resubmitting this draft, either ask for advice at the Teahouse or find a collaborator. If this draft is resubmitted in approximately its current form, it will be rejected.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:James E. Stewart and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

PAID or COI?[edit]

Whenever an editor appears and is working on only one draft, a logical suspicion is that they are either being paid or otherwise compensated, or have a personal connection to what the article is about. If either true, declare that on your User page. If neither true, state that here on your Talk page. The latter can result in an editor removing the undeclared paid tag from the draft. David notMD (talk) 19:36, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Now that PAID is declared, I removed the undeclared paid editing tag from the draft. I suggest submitting it again and see if there are still problems identified by a reviewer. David notMD (talk) 09:49, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Drafts are deleted at six months of no activity. David notMD (talk) 13:27, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
