Your submission at Articles for creation: The Carbon Canal (February 6)

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

Good start so far, but you have some format issues to fix:

• Your article is one big mass of text, please divide your content into clear WP:Sections
• You need to apply WP:Wikilinks to other articles within the encyclopedia, those clickable blue links that connect Wikipedia together.
• Your intro isn't encyclopedia style; it's not necessary to kick off with your personal musings about the importance of water. What we need for the first paragraphy is an extremely direct and clear who-what-why-when-where.

Please make these fixes, then click Resubmit for next review

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:The Carbon Canal 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:The Carbon Canal, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
• If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
• You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
