Regarding your edits in Military Classic of the South regarding VMI, please read talk pages before you remove referenced and relevant data in the future.

The Citadel, similar to Texas A&M, has many grad students, civilian undergrad students, and some 5th years playing on their athletic teams, while VMI is strictly cadets-only. I understand the two schools were similar at one point back before the 1970's, but VMI is a strict and spartan military school... the citadel is not. If you have any questions, please check out: http://www.citadel.edu/root/graduatecollege or http://www.citadel.edu/root/eveningundergraduatestudies

   I am familiar with your ongoing vandalism of this and other articles. There are no civilian lundergrads that play on sports teams and there are no current graduate transfers;j if you can prove otherwise provide evidence and reference. In the meantime desist from this behavior or you will be bannedRuffnready (talk) 16:50, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are incorrect Sir, and we have had many discussions on proper wording and references in this and the other articles. Please check history, talk pages, and the community boards before you continue your false edits. Deleting referenced, relevant facts as well as the articles supporting (as you did with Jeff Harsell's article regarding civilians on citadel sports teams) is against wiki policies... please cease and desist with your false propaganda.Strgzr1 (talk) 20:19, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: LTC George Bray McMillan (September 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Chris troutman was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Subject fails WP:MILPEOPLE as well as WP:ANYBIO. We need sources like The New York Times. Online forums aren't reliable enough for general notability.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:LTC George Bray McMillan and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

WHOA! Editor Legacypac agreed there is clearly adequate nobility and adequate references. Several other Flying Tigers members have articles and some with considerably fewer references. Subject qualifies as a unit commander per MILPEOPLE and under 'widely recognized contribution' per ANYYBIO as the AVG is one of the most famous and documented aviation units in history. The references given are clearly reliable and consistent with other wiki articles; not all subjects have mention in major sources such as the New York Times and various online sources are not only common but standard procedure. Your decline is questionable and contrary to previous review so request a consensus from other editors.Ruffnready (talk) 22:53, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
