Welcome!

Hello, Motizin, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Sample page/5303845, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content protocols, and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at the our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions ask me on my talk page or you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! Minorax (talk) 15:14, 25 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Copy-and-paste move

edit

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Disagreements (epistemology) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into User:Motizin/sandbox. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. 331dot (talk) 10:53, 25 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Аpriorics, from its old location at User:Motizin/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Nathan2055talk - contribs 23:12, 13 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of Apriorics for deletion

edit
 
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Apriorics is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Apriorics until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Nathan2055talk - contribs 20:09, 12 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

As you can now see, the discussion has closed but there is one point that was left unaddressed. This statement: In fact, none of the references of this page are "peer reviewed". All are checked and approved by distinguished reviewers. demonstrates a major misunderstanding or miscommunication. Either you do not understand how the professional publishing process works or you are confused about terminology, including what "peer review" means. "Peer" in this context refers to peers of the author or authors submitting the paper to a professional journal. In other words, they are Shoshani's peers. Not your peers or my peers or Peers of the Realm of Wherever. They are, quite literally, the same thing as the "distinguished reviewers" you mention. Casting these two terms in opposition is very much incorrect. I obviously have no way of knowing what your real life entails, you may be directly involved in the field for all I know, but I do know that your statements about this subject lack grounding in the process of publishing both on Wikipedia and in professional journals. If I can help in anyway to address this, please do not hesitate to ask me either here or at my talk page. Thank you for your time and efforts and please stay safe. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:49, 19 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Eggishorn, thanks for the clarification of your use "peer reviewed". The way you used this term led me to think that you meant publishing in sites where you can publish without control.Motizin (talk) 11:18, 20 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Silver-Garburg Piano Duo moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Silver-Garburg Piano Duo, is not suitable as written to remain published. There appears to be either a WP:UPE or WP:COI issue. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where it can remain while you address the UPE/COI concern. When you have made the necessary steps regarding COI/UPE, and the article meets WP:GNG and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Do not re-add to mainspace yourself. Onel5969 TT me 14:06, 24 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Ron Weidberg moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Ron Weidberg, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. Right now it is wholly sourced by primary sources.(?) In addition, there is quite a bit in the article which is entirely unsourced. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 TT me 12:48, 10 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
