S. J. Sawyerr moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, S. J. Sawyerr, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... discospinster talk 00:49, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have cited a source for one of his activities which is from The Times of Nigeria dated 1916. I should add for one or two of the other activities but there's no book on S. J. Sawyerr, he's one of numerous folks who's history are basically orally passed down and fortunately found by me in the old newspapers of Lagos. Kelechinaba (talk) 01:25, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

also I'm trying to edit the ref on the activity section but can't find my way around so it directs to the ref in the reference section Kelechinaba (talk) 01:26, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reference[edit]

The sources i highlighted are newspapers from old lagos that can be obtained at the National Archives Ibadan. They are not online. S. J. Sawyerr isn't mentioned in any book known so far or research article by anyone. Part of his information was given to me by his great grand son. Kelechinaba (talk) 08:49, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
