Your submission at Articles for creation: William Mawson (March 28)

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

There is too much use of primary sources e.g. census returns, wills etc; and the secondary sources aren't exact enough. References to books really need page numbers so that the content can be easily verified (if the reader so wishes). Please see Help:Referencing for beginners on how to flesh the references out. You might want to check his birthyear, most references to him say 1828 no 27. That aside this is pretty close and an article on Maswon is long overdue (especially) as there is already one on Lockwood.

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 when they have been resolved.

Please see WP:CIT on how to properly format citations. There is no rule that says that citations have to be available online, but if using offline sources, you must provide all the necessary details so they can be evaluated. Article also goes into too much extraneous detail not about Mawson, as well as being promotional.
