Your submission at Articles for creation: Redford Cemetery (February 2)
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.
The comment the reviewer left was:
A notable cemetery but the way this article is written sounds more like what you would find on a website of the cemetery, the use of “Our country” isn’t neutral or encyclopaedic (it would be odd if all people referred to a site as “our country” on Wikipedia, especially because millions of users worldwide use it). Also a lot of the paragraphs are unsourced and I think the list of known surnames buried at the site should be placed in an external links area as opposed to at the very start, also this is a nitpick but I believe it would be better if the infobox was higher in the text but that’s just my view on aesthetics.
Also the “Looking ahead” section strengthens my earlier point on it sounding like what I’d find on the website itself, also finally I don’t think all the names of veterans are required, a handful, perhaps notable or high up officers or ones with Wikipedia pages or other external sources should be mentioned.

Wikipedia can’t be used as a source so I suggest you remove those ones and replace them.
