U.S. Forces Afghanistan Combat Service Identification Badge moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, U.S. Forces Afghanistan Combat Service Identification Badge, does not have enough sources and citations 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. creffett (talk) 23:09, 14 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as District of Columbia National Guard. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 01:17, 7 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

A second reminder: Please add the source for your edits, and add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{PD-notice}} after your citation. I have done so twice for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 13:31, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Richardsonsamuel2. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "U.S. Forces Afghanistan Combat Service Identification Badge".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 23:14, 14 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
