For the talk page that is worse, see User talk:Zoozaz1 

I am attempting to publish a Timeline, but it has been rejected because "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." The material is from the files of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)--I serve on their History and Heritage Committee--and from IMechE, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (British). I have inserted a good number of references and will continue to add more--along with links to relevant Wiki pages, etc., and will be inviting other members of ASME's committee to do so as well. I had hoped to use this Wikipage to collaborate and provide useful content to future historians.

I have looked at a number of other Timelines and most seem to provide similar support and detail.

Can you provide me with more information on what you would like to see?

Also, is there a convenient way in which I could automatically search through the document for links to other Wiki pages, and insert them? With over 2,000 items on my list, this is a daunting task!

The page has been moved to this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Timeline_of_mechanical_engineering_innovation#Nineteenth_Century

Any help would be most appreciated.
 * I'm not aware of such a tool, unfortunately; one thing I do suggest is going to gadgets and checking the box that turns disambiguation links orange. I would suggest resubmitting it after the disambiguation issue is fixed and more links are added. I didn't notice where it was sourced from originally, so that should be fine. One last thing, though. I noticed that some of your entries are copied word for word from various sites, which has to be changed to avoid a copyright violation. Other than that, the timeline seems good to go. (As a side note, make sure to sign your comment with 4 tildes like that ~ .) Zoozaz1 talk  13:39, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your helpful suggestions. I'm finding the automatic insertion of color for disambiguation to be VERY helpful. I am in the process of fixing those bad links. I have also been adding numerous other links to Wiki articles and others, and adding references and some photographs.

Hopefully the page is shaping up.

All the best,
