Hi Rusty, thank you very much for your comments regarding my submission of this draft article "Nashville's Highland Rim Forest". There have been some edits made to the page and it has been resubmitted for review. I wanted to ask about some specifics that I didn't think to ask about before resubmitting though, such as what all is being looked at that makes this read more like an essay, and how could this be changed for it to read more like an encyclopedia article? I also do not have any original research, as it pertains to my direct involvement or contribution, within this article, and wanted to know what sections read in an opinionated and non-neutral way. There are still things that need to be added to this article, such as better authority control connections that I do not fully understand the workings of, but does the article need to be 100% finished to be publish and for people to start reading? I am sorry for rambling, and I greatly appreciate your help! Thank you! CreekBAnd38 (talk) 19:43, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Nashville's Highland Rim Forest. Thanks! Theroadislong (talk) 19:06, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comment! I'll get to work editing and correcting these mistakes. Can the external links be kept as a category at the bottom of the page? I think it would still be good to have access to some of the sites used, as they provide further connection for the topics and information mentioned. Are there are places that stand out as unsourced content that need to be referenced? Thank you again! CreekBAnd38 (talk) 19:23, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are 7 unsourced paragraphs. Theroadislong (talk) 20:00, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, thank you! I'll go through and make sure every section is sourced properly. I have also gone through and removed the external links within the writing and added them to their own "External Links" section, located below the references for the article. Thanks again!

Hello, I wanted to thank you again for your comment on my submitted article for creation over Nashville's Highland Rim Forest. I was able to get some help in finding and reviewing sources for the article to backup the information within unreferenced statements and paragraphs. The some information was only found initially through pdfs from Tennessee state departments which made things complicated. I was able to make the recommended changes to the article though and am hopeful for its next review. Thank you again! CreekBAnd38 (talk) 06:31, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
