Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (February 21)[edit]

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

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.

This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please see the guide to writing better articles for information on how to better format your submission.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Christopher H. Moller/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:Christopher H. Moller/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Peer Review[edit]

Peer review I am Reviewing Christopher H. Moller's article improvement. Here is a link to the draft: User:Christopher H. Moller/sandbox

The Lead has not been updated to reflect the new content, however, the Lead seems to be vague enough to encapsulate much of what Christopher is purposing to add. The content added to the topic is entirely relevant. One worry might be that, although relevant, the content is too expansive and offers more detail than is necessary for a Wikipedea article. The content is presented in a mostly neutral way. Christopher does a good job at supplementing controversial viewpoints of Will with opposing viewpoints, such as, "There are some objections posited against Kant's view. For instance, in Kohl's essay...". It may be argued that some of the viewpoints are overrepresented in that Christopher spends a lot of attention on hashing out particular nuances of some of the philosophers more than the others that he mentions. One particular issue that is related to the tone and balance but tightly connected to the sources and references is the use of primary sources.

It appears that Christopher has included numerous primary sources in support of the content proposed that raises concerns about whether it is original work. Wikipedea has noted that added content should be a statement about what experts believe is true in regards to a given topic. The fact that the primary sources are being cited also raises concerns for whether the sources are current. It should also be noted that the links within the citations of Kant (the pdf links) do not lead to anything. With that said, the secondary sources that Christopher has cited are very good sources and are a great feature of his proposal. The content is very well-written. Christopher writes in a clear and concise fashion. I personally didn't come across grammatical or spelling errors that I could make suggestions on, although it should be noted that my grammar is sub-par. The content is well-organized, however, perhaps Hegel could get his own section rather than being within Kant's section.

Overall Christopher's draft is very well-written and offers an in depth commentary on the various thoughts held by philosophers on the topic of Will in philosophy. The largest criticism that I can draw on his draft is that it is in fact so in depth. Perhaps rounding off some of the ideas or directing the reader to an alternative place that details the nuances of a particular aspect of one's theory. Some of the content might even be sufficient to form its own article on Wikipedia.
