Hello Tamzin -- I am drafting an entry on the volunteer excavation that happened at the CA-SCR-177 site and I am worried about how to title it correctly so we don't run into the same problem that happened with the entry on the site itself. I am unclear about titling conventions. Right now the entry is titled: "Volunteer Archaeological Excavation in Scotts Valley, Ca 1983." As with the CA-SCr-177 entry I'm not sure if anyone will look it up that way or if there is a better way to title it. Would you have some advice about this to offer? The entry itself is short, backed by citations and is meant to link /supplement the CA-SCR-117 entry. Thank you for any advice you may have, RkOLOGUY (talk) 22:43, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Gusfriend. I am adding more recent citations. Also more wikilinks and editing it down a bit for concision. Once this is done do I resubmit it? What is the appropreate next step? Thanks again, RkOLOGUY (talk) 18:16, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Big Dig (archaelogy) (November 1)

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

For this topic to be standalone notable you'd need references that support the dig itself, ie, the event on Memorial Day weekend, meets notability guidelines. I don't think that's likely to be possible (the coverage won't be "sustained"), and much of this content duplicates what is already at CA-SCR-177. I recommend expanding that article instead where necessary.

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:The Big Dig (archaelogy) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, I'm Mr.weedle. I noticed that you made a change to an article, History of California before 1900, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mr.weedle (talk) 00:20, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
