Your submission at Articles for creation: Walter Sanford (November 20)

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

While the content is good, you've provide zero WP:Sourcing whatsoever. We can't simply go by "trust me", or else people could put in false and damaging info about Sanford.

What we need you to do is track down news articles, mentions in books, etc. of Sanford, and use those to provide WP:Citations for these facts. See WP:referencing for beginners for help.

GoogleBooks is invaluable for this, and has many books that discuss his work. Please try that, and note that http://reftag.appspot.com can instantly turn any gBooks URL into a full footnote.

Please don't let this delay dishearten you, this is a good topic and Sanford deserves an article. Just he deserves one that is properly sourced to do justice to his career and make the article credible for readers.

Please fix the sourcing issue, and then click Resubmit. Thanks, keep pressing, drafting often takes several tries.

You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Walter Sanford and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
