Your submission at Articles for creation: Capture of Carleton Island (January 21)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KJP1 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

A single source, with no inline citation, can't demonstrate the significant coverage from reliable secondary sources needed to show Notability

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Capture of Carleton Island and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Capture of Carleton Island, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Battle of Gully Hole Creek[edit]

Do you have a reference for your changes to Battle of Gully Hole Creek? Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 23:04, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bubba73, no I do not have a specific link reference for my changes. My source is a first hand account of a park ranger at Fort Fredrica, in St. Simons Georgia telling about the battle.

There has always been a controversy about the number of casualties and deaths. Your edit took out a referenced number. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 18:29, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bubba73 I beleive the "referenced number" said heavy. I think a park ranger within 1 1/2 miles of the battleground would know what she was talking about. The fact was also stated in the park video.

OK, then you should probably say in the article where you got the figures. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 22:48, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ok, could you tell me how to cite them for a first hand account then?

I'd probably put in a footnote, something like ^[1] (Look at the source to see how it is formatted.) Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 02:04, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions notification[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

May 2021[edit]

Hi History Man1812! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 14:37, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, could you please let me know which edit it was/on which article it was so I can correct it? Thank you. History Man1812 (talk) 14:44, 18 May 2021 (UTC)History_Man1812[reply]

September 2021[edit]

Hello, I'm Love of Corey. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, 2019 El Paso shooting, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Love of Corey (talk) 01:22, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Chapleau, Ontario. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

none of the other names had citations on them and there are multiple sources online both stating that cleary was soldier F and that he was born in Ontario. History Man1812 (talk) 04:05, 19 September 2021 (UTC)History_Man1812[reply]
