On the subject of Combat Sickle.

Hi. I've noticed my draft for the article on Combat Sickle was rejected on the grounds it did not have reliable sources.

The article was originally created on Polish Wikipedia by user Tomuś Czereśniak, and he was providing the contents of the article I was translating. I asked him to provide the sources for his claims, and hopefully he'll get back to me.

Meanwhile I'll be hunting for my own sources, that should be sufficient for the article to be accepted, even if the original author of the article does not get back to me.

My intention is to travel to the Archeological Museum in Gdańsk, where the photo of the weapon was taken, and ask people working there for sources. Hopefully they will be able to provide me with something.

Sit tight, I intend to get it up to standards of the English Wiki, I just need some time. Fongsturion (talk) 12:31, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fongsturion, thanks for leaving a note here. The draft was short and was not was not backed by any sources to establish notability, hence I declined the submission.
You are free to improve the draft and submit it again for the review. --Ratekreel (talk) 13:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
