Talk:Women Democratic Front

Still complex

@Ayesha46 Please make sure that the articles you have submitted are totally free from complex words and complex sentences. And also please make sure to give citations to each paragraph. Uncited paras should either be removed or else questions maybe raised, which may cause the reason for declining the article in the event. Words like delegates, patriarchal oppression, federal unit, oversees, affairs, compiled, etc. found in this article are considered to be complex English. As this wikipedia is in simple English, please convert them into simplified English. Complex sentences should be converted into simple sentences as well. If you think your articles are still under the process of development or simplification, then make sure to submit them only when it is complete. Else, any jury can decline/approve it at any time during the event. I am not going to leave messages at each of the talk pages of the articles you have submitted. Btw, please simplify them. :-) --Haoreima (talk) 22:36, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the reminder 🙌🏼 Ayesha46 (talk) 03:04, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Preliminary evaluation

Greetings F&F 2024 contributor! I will begin by running the text through my readability gizmo. I'm getting nothing younger than tenth grade with an average of college level.

I will now read the article with my human brain. Words like "collective," "criticised," "delegate," "foundation," "established" could all be simplified. Remember, even when an entry is an original composition and not translated from another wiki, you're still translating regular English or regular other languages from your sources into simple English. It's understood that you will use your own judgment to do so. You're not merely allowed to figure out your own simple solutions—it is what's wanted. Put more of Ayesha46 into this. Darkfrog24 (talk) 21:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC) @Ayesha46: I would consider moving this specific entry into draftspace until it is ready. That way, no one will nominate your hard work for deletion. Unlike with your other entries, there is a real chance that one of our fellow Wikieditors could see this as too complex for SEWP's mainspace. Darkfrog24 (talk) 21:35, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Umm ok but I have simplified delegates once and then in the next paragraph I have written it as delegate so isn't it fine? -- 💌Ayesha46 (talk) 00:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

No. First, "individuals, who speaks or acts on behalf of an organization" could be neater and you used the complex words "behalf" and "organization." Second, it's not like calling out an acronym or introducing a term in a work of professional writing, where you say what it means the first time and then expect the reader to remember it thereafter. This is for readers who've chosen simple English. I repeat: The thing you did is appropriate and normal and good in other forms of writing; it's just not what's wanted here.

Although part of our target readership is English language learners, the idea is not to give them a vocabulary lesson in paragraph form. It's to write in simple English throughout. Your intended readers did not come here to learn what the words "delegate" and "foundation" mean. They came here to learn what the Women Democratic Front is. The goal is to not let regular English's complexity get in the way of you telling them what they want to know. The readers should be able to either read the whole article or skip to just the part they want without having to stop and look something else up. Darkfrog24 (talk) 03:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Ahha, you explained it well hopefully i can simplify it to that level, Thanks --
