Your submission at Articles for creation: John Higson (antiquarian) (November 22)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:John Higson (antiquarian) 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.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Boggarts[edit]

Boggarts can inhabit marshes without their name having anything to do with 'bog'. There are plenty of marshes in old South Lancashire (county palatine) and North Cheshire. Urselius (talk) 21:14, 3 February 2024 (UTC) I don't think much of Young's scholarship as I found this, dating to 1891, on a cursory search on Google Scholar: ""TIDD Y MUN. "Whiles syne, afore tha dykes wor made, an' tha river-bed changed, whan tha Cars wor nobbut bog-lands, an' full o'watter-holes ; tha wor teemin, as thou mayst a' heerd wi' Boggarts and Will-o'-tha-Wykes, an' sich loike ; voices o'deed folks, an' hands outen airms, that came i' tha darklins, moanin' an' cryin an' beckonin' all night thruff; todlowries dancin' on tha tussocks, an' witches ridin' on tha great black snags, that turned to snakes, an' raced about wi' 'em i' tha watter ; my word ! 'twor a stra-ange an' ill place to be in, come evens.[reply]

M. C. Balfour (1891) Legends of the Cars, Folklore, 2:2, 145-170, DOI: 10.1080/0015587X.1891.9720054 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.1080/0015587X.1891.9720054

When I last checked, 1891 was definitely in the 19th century. Urselius (talk) 21:39, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll include this and your broader point. Buremp (talk) 16:16, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, seen that you've already done it and very well. Buremp (talk) 16:30, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
