{{hilite|Good enough for public eyes, so I published it. That said, note at top a list of fine-tuning needed, to please address those. Also, if you can find any picture of him it'll clearly be in the WP:Public domain, so please upload one to WP:Wikimedia Commons and code it into the article.

William Lynch Lamar

To be realistic, the problem of the article William Lynch Lamar is plain notability. Wikipedia uses independent, reliable, prior published sources to establish notability. An obituary as almost single source is not enough for that, especially because it makes not clear what makes mr. Lamar special. Being a soldier/officer is not unique. You give no indications for medals or other awards.

To make it even more difficult, genealogical sources are usually not regarded as a reliable source. Especially, when used by the author of that same book...

So, what we need is independent, reliable, prior published sources to establish notability. The Banner talk 22:00, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

By the way: the same points count for Gazaway Bugg Lamar. The Banner talk 22:00, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

It appears that this does not meet the notability requirement. Tlc356 (talk) 13:45, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Gazaway Bugg Lamar

Hi - if you're still interested in him, I've added some content (especially about his legal problems postwar) and cites from new sources. I encourage you to explore more academic materials for biographical information, in addition to the self-published XLibris book by Coughlin. It does not meet Wikipedia standards for Reliable Sources (RS), which are supposed to go through third-party review before publication. Thanks for your contributions on the Lamar family - Parkwells (talk) 17:31, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the content for Gazaway B. Lamar and yes I'm still interested in him and other Lamar family members. Tlc356 (talk) 19:57, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Bkissin (talk) 15:25, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. Beacuse I was able to get the information into the existing Nolands Ferry Archeological Site article, I deleted my draft. One question I have is-can the name of that article be changed to "Noland's Ferry & Archeological Site" if not just Noland's Ferry? Tom Tlc356 (talk) 20:52, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Noland's Ferry

Thank you for your work on the Noland's Ferry article. I could get some images for you to illustrate the article with reasonable ease - are there any in particular that you'd be looking for? I would probably wait for the first green of spring in March for serious photography, before the leaves are fully out, but can scout the location now. Acroterion (talk) 18:43, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

I only know the area from a distance (my g-g grandfathers ran the ferry) but with that said, I believe that ferry-traffic forded to Noland's Island and then went by boat to the MD shore. If there is any evidence on Noland's Island of a wagon road, cart tracks or evidence of the landing, perhaps some of them could be subjects of your camera.
