Draft:Pioneers in Alaska Geology

Submission declined on 23 July 2023 by Losipov (talk).

I don't know if the award is notable enough for inclusion, so I'll defer to others on that, but in the meantime, the draft needs work. Maybe take information from the source provided (which is probably not enough) and write a summary for each recipient, for example. Overall, it needs more content and more sources.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
