== Tokai Park Draft Article ==
Dear ProgrammingGeek,
Could you please explain why you rejected our submission for a page on Tokai ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Tokai_Park]])? You said it "read more like an essay", but I've read other wiki pages and they are not significantly different in style. The sources that we use are "secondary, reliable sources". And additionally why is it a problem to use original research? Surely these are the best references to use. I am totally new to this and find all the new information rather overwhelming.
Also, I see you more recently declared that we have a "conflict of interest". I have read the page and still do not understand what wikipedia mean by "conflict of interest".
Nor why you have said that we (the co-authors for Tokai Park) have a conflict of interest. Could you please clarify?
Tokai Park is an important nature reserve and conservation area and there should be a wiki page for it. I cannot believe that Tokai suburb (the neighboring suburb) has a wikipedia page, and this is just an urban area (totally uninteresting), and yet we cannot get a page published on a notable area!? This is so strange to me and this all seems like nitpicking. Especially when all the other parks in Cape Town (South Africa) have wiki pages, and the Tokai one is already listed, and needing to be created (see here: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Flats_Sand_Fynbos]]).
Apologies for being frustrated with you, but honestly: I'm giving up my own free time to write about this conservation area -because I'm passionate about conservation. And now my writing is rejected for a whole bunch of reasons that are totally unclear? I really don't have a lot of time, and I would prefer to have clear guidance on how I can get this page published, rather than general and vague comments like "style is wrong" and "conflict of interest present" etc. I would really appreciate some clarity.
Yours sincerely,
Alanna
