Draft:The Devil May Dance

edit

Hi, can you clarify what you mean by this edit on Draft:The Devil May Dance? If you want your draft to be deleted, you can tag it with {{db-g7}}. Otherwise, this book is clearly notable with reviews in The New York Times, Kirkus Reviews, etc. If you cite these reviews as references in the draft and re-submit it for review, the draft should not be rejected for lack of notability. Bennv123 (talk) 18:20, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hey, did you resubmit it Bennv123. You know I actually was going to resubmit it after I added your sources. thanks--General Dwight David Eisenhower (talk) 18:33, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, you actually re-submitted it with this edit (unintentionally, I'm guessing). I was going to review your draft myself, but saw your "please delete" edit and wasn't sure if you even wanted the draft to remain. Bennv123 (talk) 18:42, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I think I remember why I did that.--General Dwight David Eisenhower (talk) 19:47, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Is the Devil May Dance article ready yet, Bennv123? I was just wondering because this is my first aticle so I'm a little anxious to know if it will become an article.--General Dwight David Eisenhower (talk) 00:39, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Per the automated message below, I've accepted your draft for publication. I have tagged it for a few issues, do have a look and try to address these issues if you can. Regards. Bennv123 (talk) 19:16, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Would a question asking about using a book written by the person you are talking about aloud as a source especially if you are talking about the person and how would you do that?--General Dwight David Eisenhower (talk) 12:07, 1 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

You would cite the book just as you would cite any other book, probably using the {{cite book}} template.
We can't answer whether citing the book would be "allowed", since it all depends on "for what?" If you go to the reliable sources noticeboard, you could get an opinion from other editors about whether the book is a suitable source for the fact in question. It's not spelled out in advance that you can't cite a book by the subject of an article. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 15:15, 1 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

About original research

edit

Hello GDDE, you asked about "original research" at Talk:Rockefeller Republican, and I wanted to respond to your questions. When we talk about Wikipedia's policy of Original research, we're generally talking about a Wikipedia editor adding their own original research, not a published source. When a source does original research and is published, that would be something like a new finding in chemistry that is published in a chemistry journal, or a Ph.D. thesis. You might also want to read up on WP:PRIMARY, WP:SECONDARY, and WP:TERTIARY sources. Encyclopedias like Britannica or Wikipedia are tertiary sources that rely on published information from secondary sources. Use of primary sources in Wikipedia is discouraged (especially in medical articles) but may be used with caution in certain circumstances. Original research performed by Wikipedia editors is prohibited. There is also a type of original research involving editors synthesizing material from two or more sources, also prohibited; see WP:SYNTH. Mathglot (talk) 21:39, 6 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I thought it meant something else.--General Dwight David Eisenhower (talk) 22:31, 6 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of User:General Dwight David Eisenhower

edit
 

A tag has been placed on User:General Dwight David Eisenhower requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Muharem Bekteshi moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Muharem Bekteshi, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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.

December 2021

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Muharem Bekteshi. 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 for registered users, 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. Liz Read! Talk! 01:32, 28 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello, General,
Please do not do any more "cut and paste" moves in the future. Work on the version of the article in Draft space and, when it is ready, move it to main space. Ideally, you should submit it to AFC for approval. But don't start a second version of the article. Right now, we have two articles on the same subject with two different page histories. This doesn't work on Wikipedia so please, stick with one version in the future. It really messes up our system of content attribution.
If you have questions, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:35, 28 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Muharem Bekteshi

edit
 

The article Muharem Bekteshi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Can't find enough in-depth coverage to show they meet WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
