Hello, Jpg496! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Thanks for your quick feedback. Apologies, I had assumed that including the reference to the source text on findagrave.com page was sufficient. While some of the text there has been reused in the article, the majority is my own text. I'll rewrite the affected text very soon. Jpg496 (talk) 20:28, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
