Disputed PROD. Article reads like, and has all the hallmarks of, a college term paper. In addition, it has references but without citations it is hard to see where the OR ends and the referenced encyclopedic stuff begins. ukexpat (talk) 18:20, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly reads like original research, which we do not publish. We must userfy or delete it . Bearian (talk) 04:18, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote the article. It is not original research (or a college paper). i thought i referenced my sources. I have no doubt screwed this up, and would appreciate any advice re how to correct it, so that wiki will keep the article. AgRince (talk) 13:13, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: In that case, I think the best thing to do would be to move it back into your user space ("userfy" it) so that you can work on it further. You should also take a look at the tone, construction and flow of articles on similar topics to see how that are written and structure this article similarly. If you are OK with this approach I will happily move it back to user space for you and withdraw this Afd. – ukexpat (talk) 14:06, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
