I just saw your question at the AfC help desk, but you removed it before I could reply. Was that deliberate? Huon (talk) 14:05, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
You recently reviewed an article I have been working on about Matthew 25: Ministries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Matthew_25:_Ministries. You told me that the article reads like an advertisement and not like an encyclopedia. I was told this once before and was told to make it more dry. I thought I had removed any flowery wording and felt I added enough outside, reliable sources to back up the information. I have been declined several times and am doing my best to rectify each problem. I was wondering if you could give me some specific examples of where the article gives an advertisement feel and how I might fix that? It is not my intention to create an advertisement I just want to provide information on the organization. Should I remove all links to the organization's website? These are in place simply to provide the most updated information of the given topic; however, if they are the reason for the advertisement feel then I can certainly remove them. Again, if you can please give me some examples of advertisement and how I could go about fixing that I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Thank you for making us aware of more detailed review policies affecting our articles that have been implemented in the 10 years since these articles were originally reviewed and approved for publishing.
We are currently in the process of reviewing our Wikipedia articles for current information and active documentation links and are willing to make edits and updates to any information that does not meet Wikipedia’s current approval criteria. The article in question was stringently reviewed by Wikipedia editors when originally published 10 years ago, and we made a number of changes to the original text to ensure that the article met the following types of criteria:
• Was written from a neutral point of view (NPOV). The article fairly represents the actions and activities of the person in question
• Was documented by reliable, verifiable resources for each topic
• Did not include any opinions or subjective statements or make any editorial remarks
• Did not include any undocumented, unverifiable original research
• Did not use contentious or judgmental language or make any derogatory, libelous or defamatory statements.
The article is about an individual who is notable as an individual and as the founder of a large nonprofit (Forbes America’s 2020 Top Charities https://www.forbes.com/companies/matthew-25-ministries/?list=top-charities/&sh=710451c628ec), and all information in the article is written from a neutral point of view and is verifiable. No original research was included in the article. No private information was shared regarding this individual. If any of the citation links have expired, they can/will be replaced with active links documenting the same information.
If the Wikipedia review team would like to indicate which specific items need to be updated and if needed provide insights into what the problem is, we will be happy to review and revise the information.
