Your submission at Articles for creation: Peach Creek (White Cloud Creek tributary) (December 24)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Non-notable stream, cited sources confirm existence but not notability, as neither source is significant coverage.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Peach Creek (White Cloud Creek tributary) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Move warring

On December 19, you moved the article Holland Branch to Holland Branch (Platte River tributary). On January 4, this move was reverted by Bunnypranav. Per WP:RMUM, undiscussed moves may be reverted if controversial, and should not be repeated without consensus (as you just did). Instead, if you think your initial move was correct, please start a requested move discussion. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:38, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This also applies to your move of McGuire Branch to McGuire Branch (Castille Creek tributary), which was reverted by Rusalkii and which you repeated today. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:42, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I will begin requested move discsussions instead of repeating moves that have been reverted. Though, I still don't really understand why 90% of the tributary clarification moves I make are reviewed and approved and 10% aren't. I understand that is because different people who review them have different subjective opinions on what is best but as a new editor I do find it confusing. Thanks for informing me about proper protocol. SamuelNelsonGISP (talk) 21:22, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The general policy to minimize parenthetical disambiguation as much as possible - so Holland Branch is always preferred over Holland Branch (Platte River tributary), unless there is another Holland Branch elsewhere that could be confused with this one. Unfortunately editors doing redirect patrolling often do very superficial checks (I know I've been guilty of this) and basically just look at it and go "hmm, looks like a vaguely sane redirect, marking as reviewed". I would be surprised if most of the editors approving the other moves though this was best, as opposed to not obviously a disaster and not worth looking into further. Rusalkii (talk) 22:06, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarifying. So unless there are (or going to be) 2 or more articles with the same name I do not need to add a parenthetical disambiguation. That makes sense - I will do such. SamuelNelsonGISP (talk) 01:05, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for more information on Dockery, Missouri, Ray County

Hello! I am trying to help a friend figure out something about the Dockery area of Ray County MO, more specifically, what the parameters are for this area and if her property falls inside of them. We have looked at maps, coordinates, etc. but don't really understand. I see that Dockery is not listed as a township or a village, but as "other", so I'm thinking perhaps it was an old settlement that got "swallowed up" more or less by larger townships and villages. Anyways, if you have any more information or light you could shed on this it would be much appreciated!

Thank you!! Confusedinmissouri (talk) 19:38, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for the question; I hope I can be helpful. I can confirm that Dockery does not have a legal jurisdiction presently. It is not listed as a city, village, or census-designated place, and thus does not have a present recognized boundary. As for its historic boundary, I do not think there is any information about that. It is not in the Sanborn Map Collection nor is it in this 1930 plat book that I found online. The Ray County GIS (ray.integritygis.com) has nothing particularly helpful though there are a few subdivisions in the area that if you could find their original plat maps may have some information about Dockery's previous boundary. Honestly, I do not even know if it was previously incorporated, just because it had a post office does not mean it was incorporated and thus had a boundary. Perhaps there are older plat books not digitized online that are in some library in Ray County, but I believe I have looked as thoroughly as I am reasonably able to. Dockery may have merely been the name of a place that never became formalized.

I hope this helps, for what it is worth my core research has been into NW missouri and I only happened to edit this article because I was 'adopting' articles about streams into articles about places. Thanks, let me know what you find out. SamuelNelsonGISP (talk) 20:06, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your quick response! That is super helpful- and completely makes sense that it's not a legal jurisdiction- so many places around here are like that. Saint Cloud, Stet, etc. I believe my friend is also going to go to the Ray County History Museum and see if she can find out anything else, and if she does I'll be sure to update you!

Thanks again =) Confusedinmissouri (talk) 16:44, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
