Your submission at Articles for creation: SS Regulus (Steamer) (April 3)

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

I have a feeling this might eventually be a useful and interesting article, but the current draft doesn't have sufficient sources to meet WP:GNG. I do encourage you to keep searching for good sources, however, and add them to the article.

I did a little searching myself and found this poem written about the ship. To me, that's a good sign that this is probably worth writing an article about.

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 User:JeromeOBrien/sandbox/SS Regulus (Steamer) 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 User:JeromeOBrien/sandbox/SS Regulus (Steamer), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

About your edits

Hi, nice job on the Earlshall article. A thing I've noticed is that you tend to make smaller edits which clog page histories; that's not really a bad thing, it's just inconvenient for most users. In the future, please try to make your changes in one large edit, or use the "This is a minor edit" checkbox above the "Save page" button if you can't avoid it. Thanks!

Hi, thank you for your advice and help I am new to this but I am absolutely loving it. I will not edit so often in the future and will use minor edit if I must. I have a question. If a location is now known by another name how would I reference that? For example in 1910 it was 'Leeward Cove' but today it's known as 'Lower Cove'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeromeOBrien (talk • contribs)

You could try expressing it as "Leeward Cove (now known as Lower Cove)". ToThAc (talk) 21:30, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
