Hi GeorgiaDixie. Regarding your article [[Southern Military Tradition, I would hate to see it deleted because there is a lot of good stuff there. I see that you created the article in a single edit, and it's your second edit on Wikipedia. One problem is that article could be shorter and "tighter". Also there is some material that is kind of opinion. The main problem with the article is that it's unsourced. That is, there are a lot of figures and assertions but we don't know where they came from. A couple of ways to source articles are to include "References", "Notes", and "External links" sections. It's also a good idea to directly reference stuff. For example:


 * In an examination of Medals of Honor awarded during WWI, Southerners are very over-represented.

Could perhaps best be:


 * In an examination of Medals of Honor awarded during WWI, Southerners are very over-represented.
 * (in Notes section)
 * Doe, John Medal of Honor Winners (New York, 1973, Whatever Books)
 * (in Notes section)
 * Doe, John Medal of Honor Winners (New York, 1973, Whatever Books)
 * Doe, John Medal of Honor Winners (New York, 1973, Whatever Books)

That sort of thing. Take a look at some existing articles or poke around in the help (type WP:HEP on the search box). Anyway, as it stands the article looks to be deleted. Since you created the article in one edit, I assume you have a copy on your computer, and perhaps the article could be recreated with sources. If you have further questions or would like help with the article give me a shout. Herostratus 06:01, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
