Your contributions
Hi Cwmwhite, and thanks for your contributions! I noticed you recently created User:Cwmwhite/sandbox, and published it as an article. There are several reasons why I moved it back into your userspace. Hopefully you find this helpful, and again I want to thank you for your interest in contributing. Feel free to ask for further help here (using helpme), at my talk page or at the community teahouse. I'd highly recommend asking at the teahouse, the editors there are very talented and helpful. Best wishes, Eddie891 Talk Work 17:30, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) It is a copy of an article published in 1891. Wikipedia generally prefers content that has been written as an article by editors so it conforms with our policies and guidelines. For an article like this, we would expect multiple reliable sources supporting its content. See WP:1st for a guide about writing your first article. Ideally, it would include sources that are more modern and more varied. An 1891 article likely will not have the most reliable and up to date information about a subject
 * 2) It's unclear what your article is about. Titling it Cwmwhite tells us nothing about the topic, and it needs a lede section that concisely answers that. It seems like your article might be about the United States Naval Apprentice System, but I am not sure. You should try and introduce a wide variety of sources that establish the topics clear notability and verify all the information.
 * 3) The article reads a bit like an essay, trying to convince the reader of something. That isn't the place of Wikipedia; our articles should be written from a neutral point of view, stating facts as objectively possible.
