Your submission at Articles for creation: Southern Katipo (January 13)[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 Tagishsimon was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Subject may be notable, but you have not provided anything like a sufficiency of references to evidence it.

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:Southern Katipo 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:Southern Katipo, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Southern Katipo[edit]

G'day, Spike, welcome to Wikipedia. Just so you know, I have published your draft on Southern Katipo now -- it is at the following link: Exercise Southern Katipo. I have found a few photos on Commons (one of which I have included in the article) and added a few sources. Please feel free to keep expanding the article. Thank you for your efforts so far. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 06:52, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for expanding the sources and improving the article! KiwiSpike1 (talk) 21:40, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Useful sources[edit]

Hi, I saw your post on the Milhist page about RNZN ships. If you are not already aware of them, the New Zealand official war histories are a useful source. For example, Maunganui is mentioned several times, particularly in the volumes dealing with the medical services. I work mainly with NZ Milhist articles myself and often use the official histories. If I may make a suggestion, it would be to select existing articles to improve as a way of getting to grips with Wiki practices and processes, rather than creating them from scratch (which is kinda leaping into the deep end!). Sing out if you have any questions or need some advice/help, just drop me a line on my talk page or ping me if replying to this post. Zawed (talk) 09:25, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the advice! Looking foward to helping out here and there cheers. KiwiSpike1 (talk) 21:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
