needs improvement:

wunder, I think your story has potential but needs some improvement. I've got a few suggestions, and if you give them a try, I'd be happy to remove this flag.

I wasnt sure what was newsworthy in this story.

If I might make a suggestion, we're encouraging our members to move away from just pasting in stories they find. We think it's important to know why *you* think the stories are important. Add your own views, more links for context, some background, etc.

You obviously care a great deal about your subject, so why not let people know why its so important? I don't mean that every story has to be perfect and original, but one or two well sourced, written and engaging pieces gets more views than 20 copy and pasted stories.
Thanks!
