Welcome to Wikipedia! Need a hand?

Hello, Russlowe! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 17:18, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Boone Speed draft

Hello! I've taken another look at your Boone Speed draft. I have not "reviewed" it officially, as I generally prefer to have a different editor, who may have a disparate perspective, provide a secondary review. I do have a few comments I hope you find helpful. The first sentence says he is an "influential figure" within rock climbing. How so? That statement isn't really fleshed out or specified, either in the section or in the article in general. As such it appears to promote the subject, instead of providing encyclopedic information. The third paragraph has got to go. It is blatantly promotional. Instead of saying "his work is great" which is supported by an interview with Boone, say "(noted art critic) states his work has a quality of global connectivity....." The first is self-promotion. The second is serious analysis. I can't comment on the notability of many of the publications you cite, hopefully an editor with expertise on rock climbing culture will review the draft next. If you have any questions, please see Wikipedia's reliable source policy. The section "Creative Career" is completely un-sourced. Please find some independent, reliable sources to support these assertions. All the best, 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 21:23, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
