Hi Liance, many thanks for the reply. I am new to wiki but willing to learn. I fully understand your point on referencing, I did include all the references that are known for this society (it's a subject not really discovered which is why I am trying to make a historical document for it). I did link ALL the members names to wiki pages in existence and I did link subject content battle of boyne, culladon etc to their respective wiki sites also. If I am reading this correctly, rather than linking to the wiki page, you would rather I use some of their references instead? Surely this is a duplicated effort? I have pictures of the 1801 list, real medals and members pictures in my possession, but for whatever reason if I try and upload one I keep getting an error message saying I can't do it. So don't understand why that is. They are also not published pictures so what good is a reference?

Let me know on the references as I can add hundreds for each battle and member, but it's rather silly considering what I am trying to achieve. Once the article is accepted, I will go to each member listed and add a line about their membership of the Orange and Blew and link it accordingly but can't do that without a page to refer to.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Sheckles384 - yes, on Wikipedia we require information to be verifiable so you are required to include citations to external, reliable, secondary sources. You don't necessarily need to do so for every entry in a list but any stated facts should be cited. I see that you have supplemented the content with references since my last review so I will allow another editor to take a look now, it is a great improvement. Hope this helps. ~Liance^talk 17:21, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lieutenant Colonel Robert Anwyll (May 29)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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:

As far as I can tell there is no WP:GNG coverage. Most of the sources were published by his employer or close affiliates (including Cowper 1939). I could find no mention of Anwyll in the Harvey book. Homfray, and I assume Gordon, are just passing mentions/database entries insufficient to count towards notability.

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.

I disagree with this assessment, not only is the recipient worthy of an article due to the battles, awards and historical value, it also has more references than a lot of articles I have seen published on Wiki (Sir Robert Rich, 5th Baronet is a prime example of this). The whole experience with Wiki has been degrading, disillusioned and quite frankly arrogant responses by some of the editorial ream, I am disgusted! Denying Historical content is akin to sticking your head in the sand and going la la de la la Sheckles384 (talk) 08:38, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Homfray, and I assume Gordon, are just passing mentions/database entries insufficient to count towards notability. This statement alone has just made every secondary source on Wiki irrelevant and on that basis 98% of all wiki articles should be culled. Sheckles384 (talk) 08:50, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
