I have started a new article, Sizzler, but an admin says that it needs work! Can someine please help me? --Greenmouse44 19:47, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
- Pee Review is the place to go if you want to know how to improve your work, you can also ask the relevant admin on their talk page. If you have any questions about editing you can go here and see if there is anything to help you there. --ChiefjusticePS3 19:51, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
- Even before taking an article like this to Pee Review, the best thing you can do is navigate over to UN:BEST and read a selection of our featured articles. Those are pretty much what we want and expect an article to look like. Then, ask yourself: What's the difference between the Sizzler article, and, say, The Bourne Pottery Class? Hopefully, that will get you started.

- "Go to the Louvre and compare your painting with the Mona Lisa." Way to go with the pep talk. No wonder the suicide hotline fired you. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 09:06, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
- I've been to the Louvre and the Mona Lisa is not that impressive. Similarly, most of our featured articles aren't that impressive either. —Sir Socky

- Ah, but you have to go with a bottle of wine, candles, and Bolero on the hi-fi. Then she's fantastic. Italian broads are wildcats in the sack. Call her the wrong name. That'll get it goin'. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 18:06, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

- Your page is just a list and a quote plus a sentence informing me that it sucks (also note that "Hadepeloic", as far as I can tell, is not a word. You can make up words if you really want to. I do). If "This place sucks" is the theme of the page, it needs to draw in the reader. Why does it suck? The page needs to make the reader feel how sucky Sizzler is. It has to have enough information to paint a picture. A picture of suck. There isn't enough there even to make a sketch. For a good place to start (generally), go to Wikipedia's Sizzler. See how much information is there? The hard part is making that funny.
- Should the unfortunate happen and your page meets its Maker (ironically, not you), you can move it (or have an admin move it) under your userpage, as User:Greenmouse44/Sizzler. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 09:06, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
