Hi, Anrussell2. I skimmed your article to see if I could help with any minor edits or suggestions and I had noticed that you had put an external link within the body of the article to a blog about "ad valorem". If this blog post was meant to be a citation, first, blog posts shouldn't be used as citations on Wikipedia. Second, a citation should be done the way you have done your other citations where they are placed as a superscript number that links to footnotes. If you want to link readers to an explanatory page about "ad valorem", then perhaps this page does the trick: /info/en/?search=Ad_valorem_tax
Here is the section of the style guide about the use of external links: WP:ELPOINTS
Don't hesitate to ask me any questions you may have. You could also reach out on the Wiki Education noticeboard or you could even reach out on the Wikipedia:Teahouse#Help_with_an_article where you asked for help before (I left you a note there again, actually). I also want to recommend the trainings for students which are available here: Wikipedia:Training/For students. Sincerely, Shashi Sushila Murray, ( message me) 05:41, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi again. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions.
I just took the time to read through your article draft. I want to give a full disclosure: I am a relatively new editor myself, but I think I can provide some useful feedback.
Now that I've read it I think I see some of what is prompting reviewers to reject it as an essay. Some of the writing makes it sound like you're advocating for the agreement or that you're doing your own interpretation of the sources to write favorably about it. If those sources are speaking favorably of the agreement, great! But it does sound more like an essay (it's challenging to write your text like you would in an encyclopedia entry). One thing that you could do is to find sources that criticize the agreement (assuming that they exist and that you can find them from authoritative sources). If you can, you could incorporate a criticisms (or reaction) section into the article.
Again: I am a new editor too, so I am not sure if this feedback would get you past the reviewers who are saying that it sounds like an essay. I recommend reaching out on that Wiki Education noticeboard for a Wiki Ed representative to help provide feedback.
Let me know if this helps, if this makes sense, or if you have any questions or anything else I could help you with. You can also ask for help again at the Teahouse or at the Wiki Education noticeboard.

The result of the move request was: moved. No objections have been raised, but the nomination statement does not make a clear argument for why the proposed title better meets WP:CRITERIA. So consider this equivalent to an uncontroversial technical move, for the purposes of consensus. Colin M ( talk) 20:24, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
