List of major wildfires in 2008 moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, List of major wildfires in 2008, 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 " " 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.

Geoffrey Cardozo
Is this article a machine translation of an es.wiki article? WCM email 00:06, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, there's no article on esWiki. I wrote it myself. Flipwared (talk) 00:08, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Sadly, whilst you may have sourced this to some Argentine sources, much of what you have written simply isn't true. Brook Hardcastle wasn't a farm manager at the time, he had become a manager for FIC.  The land for the Argentine cemetery was donated by the FIC for the purposes of interring the Argentine dead.  It was actually the chairman of the FIC (a catholic) who donated it, simply because he couldn't bear the thought of those poor souls rotting in battlefield graces whilst the Argentine government postured.  The Argentine cemetery isn't anywhere near the Darwin cemetery, where only islanders are buried.  The Argentine cemetery is at a place called Fish Creek.  The Kirchner's did nothing toward identifying the Argentine dead, they made a lot of fuss in the press but never actually spoke to the British government.  The DNA identification only occurred because of Macri's government who engaged with HMG.  Roger Waters was credited but in fact had nothing to do with it.  I'm sorry, I'm sure this was a genuine attempt but there is so much BS circulated in the Argentine press that your article is fatally flawed. WCM email 00:20, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, I've read all the sources cited and wrote the article according to that. The Brook Hardcastle mention was taken from here and it seems to have been said by Cardozo himself (it's a written interview, so its hard to actually prove he said that name). It might however be speculation of journalist Gabriela Cociffi. Then I read on the NYT reference that the land was donated by a farmer. I apologize for the Darwin Cemetery confusion. About the Kirchner involvement, I didn't intent to say that she accomplished anything, it was just a mention to give some context on why Roger Waters was given an award also given to Cardozo. I didn't write anything more about the identification process itself as this article is about Cardozo and the Cemetery already has its own article. Feel free to improve it with every knowledge you might have, I will appreciate it! Thanks. Flipwared (talk) 00:29, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I am happy to correct your article, I felt I should reach out first so you don't take it the wrong way when I do. I don't mean to offend but my experience of Argentine editors has not always been positive, usually when I offer help and advise it is rejected out of hand simply because I was born in the UK.  Regards, WCM email 00:38, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Please, none taken. I actually tried to use as many international sources to avoid any Argentine or UK bias on the conflict. Still, it's not always easy. Thanks again, feel free to reach out whenever you want. Flipwared (talk) 00:41, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
