Thank you for reaching out. I am most interested in the American Civil War and the Orders of battle for various engagements. I have a lot of books on the 1864 campaigns in Virginia, and am intending to update a lot of them. There's a few cases where I have regimental strengths, or brigade strengths, for certain units.

I also hope to give an OOB for the Confederate's in the Red River Campaign, as there is only the Union OOB available. However, I am still learning the ropes of formating, and that will be a good while until I do it.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hatcher's Run Confederate Order of Battle (March 15)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I cannot verify the source, as the website isn't responding. It doesn't look like an obviously reliable source to me, however. In any case, relying on a single source is never a good idea. Also, the draft doesn't make it clear which parts of the content are supported by the source, as it lacks inline citations (which are not mandatory, but are highly recommended). Please see WP:REFB for advice on referencing.

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:Hatcher's Run Confederate Order of Battle 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.
