Hi, I'm QatarStarsLeague. Stephen Blackpool, thanks for creating Irish expedition to Scotland 1644!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Wikipedia appreciates your recent article, Irish expedition to Scotland 1644. Please view the page so that you may assist Wikipedia in improving the quality of the article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 18:42, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Siege of Bunratty moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Siege of Bunratty, 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.

Pinging @Jimfbleak: the admin who deleted Draft:Siege of Bunratty. 78.28.55.237 (talk) 07:01, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping, 78.28.55.237. I'll shortly restore the text since it isn't now a copyright violation, but it's a long way from being an article yet. You must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts, and these should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. You give some refs, but they are not in line so we don't know what fact each is supporting, and some are unformatted urls. You also don't wikilink anything, such as Bunratty Castle, and don't have a proper lead section. Have a look at Siege of Aiguillon. You don't need that level of detail, but it might help to give an idea of what a history article should look like Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:42, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

OK Jimfbleak I will address those issues once I can access it again thanks Stephen Blackpool (talk) 17:53, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
