User talk:Jackiemcontento

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

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.

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This needs to focus more specifically on the device itself. Much of this article is discussing topics that relate to the device, but not the device itself. Keep in mind that the device will not inherit notability from it being related to notable topics. You want the article to focus on the pocket colposcope and have sourcing that directly discusses the device. I also recommend reviewing WP:MEDRS, which covers what should be used as sourcing in medicine and health related articles. I say this because one of the sources is a study, which is seen as more of a primary source. It's just good to review that page in general - although for more medical article specific advice you should talk to the people at WikiProject Medicine.

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.

• Hi! I also wanted to point you towards the Women in Red WikiProject, which is aimed at improving the coverage of women and women related topics (of which your draft is one!) on Wikipedia. I highly, HIGHLY recommend checking in with them since they are honestly an awesome group of people and can help provide a veritable wealth of resources and assistance. Medical topics are an area that is often not as frequently covered or at least more difficult to cover, so they always need more people to help fight the good fight! FWIW, I do think your topic is notable, I just think it needs editing to better fit Wikipedia's guidelines and style. This brochure on editing medical topics may help. It would also be good to review articles on other medical devices such as Speculum (medical) or Endoscope. Something else I noted was that while there's a page on colposcopy there's not an article on the device itself, nor is there much information about the device in the article - which itself could use a lot of work! I didn't know if this would be something that you may be interested in? I'm not super savvy on medical topics, so you may want to talk to the medicine wikiproject or the Women in Red project (as there are medicine interested/savvy people there) - but I'm always here as a resource if you need me. On a side note, if this is related to a class, could your instructor contact Wiki Education at contactwikiedu.org? The reason being is that the organization offers a ton of awesome free resources that would make a classroom assignment a lot easier to keep track of - and doesn't cost a thing. (Full disclosure, I used to work for them!) ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:34, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
