- A few of the links showed some similarities, but I fixed them. The rest of the links contained similarities that were unavoidable--12george1 (talk) 23:26, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
- With that in consideration, I think this is good to go now. epicgenius (talk) 00:04, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but I'm having trouble figuring out the article history. On June 19, eight days before this nomination, the article was not 5x smaller than it was on June 27. And I don't see a move to mainspace, or a GA icon. Please explain. Yoninah (talk) 23:27, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
- A redirect originally existed at that location. So I (not an admin) had User:Hurricanehink delete the redirect and move the sandbox to mainspace on June 27. Here is the diff--12george1 (talk) 02:27, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks! It was right on the first page of the history, but I missed it. You do have some close paraphrasing from a source; try to use different words than "clashed" and "found refuge":
- Source: The Seminoles clashed with American settlers over land and escaped slaves who found refuge among the Seminoles.
- Article: American settlers and Seminoles clashed due to land and escaped slaves, who found refuge among the Seminoles.
