Academic Capitalism feedback

edit

Hi @SamiB11,Disembodied Poetics: I noticed you created the article on Academic Capitalism. While you have a solid foundation and a good set of references, the text does read like a persuasive essay and could be moved out of mainspace if these concerns aren't addressed. You have to keep in mind, Wikipedia is not a place to publish your ideas or conclusions about a topic. That’s considered “original research,” and is not allowed on WIkipedia. This means your writing for Wikipedia will summarize what other people/sources have said about a topic, so that a Wikipedia reader can get an overview of the current thoughts and understanding of that topic. The goal is to provide a neutral, fact based summary of the topic at hand, not to persuade the readers to feel a certain way about the topic.

A place to start, is to go over the content and make sure that a reliable source can support or back up each sentence that you have in the article. So that if any reader wants to check if a sentence has accurate information, they can click on the inline citation and find that information in the cited source. This will help you see what text can remain and what text is fluff or original research, and can then be removed.

Academic Capitalism moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Academic Capitalism, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
