Your submission at Articles for creation: Margaret G. Cobb (March 28)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Notable, but the references need better formatting and the phrasing needs to be more neutral. Please see: WP:REFBEGIN, WP:NPOV, and WP:PYRAMID. Kind regards, Spinster300 (talk) 11:48, 28 March 2025 (UTC).[reply]

Good morning! Thank you for your comments. While I am certainly glad that you have deemed this subject notable, I am having a hard time seeing how my article draft is "not adequately supported by reliable sources" given both the quality and the quantity of peer-reviewed journals and books that are cited therein. Also, all of the citations are in accordance with the most recent Chicago-style guidelines, so I am not sure how they can be more properly formatted. Last but not least, the two most "slanted" words in the entire article are "favorable" and "positive," which are simply factual descriptions of the reviews that Cobb received for her work in peer-reviewed publications, and once again, all of these reviews are clearly cited and in accordance with Chicago-style. I am sure that you are exceptionally busy, but I would really appreciate a little more clarity on how to improve my draft. As you yourself have noted, Cobb was clearly notable enough to merit a Wikipedia entry (and there are still too few Wiki entries for noteworthy female scholars in general), so I'd really like to get this submission over the finish line. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter, and have an excellent weekend! Josquin1521 (talk) 13:13, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
