Hello, I'm Njd-de. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Northumbrian dialect have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for this return. I have been assiduously attempting to provide citations, but my old fashioned data entry skills, or new fashioned word processor skills seem to have been defeated by the citation editor.

Could you tell me where to look, or how to overcome the logical impasse presented by an item which is intending to provide contextual material about a publication which does not exist on the internet? - Even the Newspaper archive only has a reference to a parent journal. When I attempt to provide a citation to the main printed book dealing with the topic, the citation edit input panel accepts data, and apparently closes normally, yet has neither accepted the entry or returned a validation error. Where do I research these idiosyncrasies?

Apologies if these kind of queries should go elsewhere. I shall take no offence if you tell me to just go away..

Your submission at Articles for creation: Wilson's Tales of the Borders (March 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DoubleGrazing were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Wilson's Tales of the Borders and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
