Your notes, Theroadislong, are very worthwhile especially to a new editor like myself. I take them so seriously. I would like to ask you to answer such questions as: Have I addressed the first issue correctly (I made the external links texts un-clickable but left them to preserve the flow of the article. The links now appear as normal bullets - 12 of them. The blue texts are all wikipedia cross references)?
I'll be glad to read your response. Thank you. Dee Soulza (talk) 15:56, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No... you have not "addressed the first issue correctly" PLEASE read WP:REFB as requested before. Theroadislong (talk) 16:00, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ahsante sana (Swahili for THANK YOU SO MUCH). I shall try again on weekend. Dee Soulza (talk) 16:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Greenman were:
For example, the paragraph starting "Some Swahili speakers and journalists tend to replace original Swahili words/terminologies with unnatural ones, not for good reasons" has one source with no relevance whatsoever.
Large portions elsewhere also have little sourcing.
You may also want to change the title, as capitalising everything is seen as shouting and is not Wikipedia style. See WP:NCCPT

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by TechnoSquirrel69 were:
As other reviewers have noted, this draft continues to contain language that violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Phrases like "Despite the growth, maturity and dignity earned" and not for good reasons" are not acceptable and show that you've inserted your own opinion into the prose, which is prohibited under the no original research policy. Let me know if you have any questions! (please mention me on reply; thanks!)

Thanks for your contributions to Challenges facing the Swahili language. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has too many problems of language or grammar and as tagged, the article reads like an essay and should be converted into encyclopedic writing.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. ASUKITE 20:35, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I hope other editors will correct the errors as they discover them (it's a seed they've to nurture) Dee Soulza (talk) 09:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
