advice

We're very glad to see you adding articles on geographic features, but they must have a references. You presumably got the information from somewhere, and yoiu need to say where. If not, how can anyone tell if your information is accurate or not? A coordinate on a map is essential information, but not really sufficient. DGG ( talk ) 00:45, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of islands of Alaska

Hi there, I've noticed that many of the island articles you've created recently have been tagged as orphans. In almost all cases, I've found similar article titles over at List of islands of Alaska, and have redirected those articles to the ones you've written, in order to de-orphan them. You may find the list useful, as plenty of Alaskan island articles are already redlinked, and using those article titles to create new articles saves having to create redirects and avoids your articles getting hit with an orphan tag. Cheers. PaintedCarpet (talk) 16:43, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
