Your submission at Articles for creation: Sumac-Aid (December 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by ChrysGalley was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Thanks for your work so far, however this was worded somewhere between an essay and a drinks recipe. Articles in Wikipedia need to be written in the style of an encyclopedia. It may easier to look at another similar drink to see how to project this. Or the couple of sentences in the Rhus typhina article. The sources are bare links, it's better if they get given more citation information, see WP:REFB.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Sumac-Aid and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

It's not basically a drink recipe now, but it still has tone issues. However, it is now enjoyed by many people and Normally tart, sweet, or both, it is a quite versatile drink. aren't really neutral or encyclopedic.
