Draft:42nd North Carolina Infantry Regiment

You'll want to add some categories to your draft. I've added one, to show you how it's done. You may be able to think of more. If there is a category for Conferderate Army units (and I feel there should be), I couldn't find it.

I know from bitter experience (i.e. I got it wrong and was told off) not to formally categorise articles in sandbox or draft space. The way to do it is to put an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the line as I have done, which suppresses it. Once the article is in mainspace, it can and should be deleted.

It looks like the draft was somehow deleted, it is not showing anything written on the history of it currently Squogg (talk) 19:34, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind; I went to the wrong page, my bad. Squogg (talk) 19:35, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: 42nd North Carolina Infantry Regiment (October 7)

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

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:42nd North Carolina Infantry Regiment 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.
