Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 15:01, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your recent edit to Alcoa, which I do appreciate, even though I reverted it :)

My impression is that the lead section of the article (the paragraphs before the first heading) is not written in an encyclopedic style. A second example is the use of "brainchild" in the first sentence of the second paragraph, which does not appear to me to be appropriate for an encyclopaedical article.

I might be wrong, and maybe just improving a few sentences in the first few paragraphs will be sufficient to convey a neutral point of of view (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view). I would be happy to collaborate in such an effort. My Gussie (talk) 16:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like you are right, and also sounds like you are the right person to fix it!--Simxaraba (talk) 15:40, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to Ibrahim al-Arjani. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. 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. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 11:08, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did more work as you suggested (Actually, I wasn't finished, I was just too tired to continue) and moved the page back. Hope you find it better now.--Simxaraba (talk) 15:42, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
