March 2020--do you plan to include any sources?
Per WP:OR and WP:RELIABLE, you seem to be adding a lot of content, but I'm not seeing any sources. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 18:54, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I have. I often edit the sources after the article, because the article is easier to write then the source. I did that for the new Luce Line Trail article, which was my first one. I'm still learning, and I'll get better with time.
 * Hi, TheRoadDudeMN. Good. A few suggestions: you could--and ought to--save the article to a sandbox of your creation. Then you can work on it at leisure, and add sources when you wish, before posting to mainspace. It appears that you've added a lot of content to existing articles, too, all of which needs to be sourced. Finally, it appears that sources you've added in the last few hours don't support any of the adjoining content. If you're going to write that route A crosses Washington Avenue at the three mile point, then goes west for six miles, linking to a map isn't acceptable. You must provide a source that states the particulars you're providing. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 00:16, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
