Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give EU Institute of International Law a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. 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. ~ GB fan 15:08, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Atlantic Council

Stop adding a speedy deletion tag to Atlantic Council. It does not meet the requirements to speedy delete the article for advertising. If you feel the only answer is to delete the article you will need to nominate it for deletion by follwoing the directions at WP:AFD. ~ GB fan 15:14, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

August 2017

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to The European Institute for International Law and International Relations, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. ~ GB fan 15:15, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 12 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  ~ GB fan 15:16, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Since you can't seem to read and just keep readding the speedy deletion tag, I have blocked you for disruptive editing. The article will not be deleted that way. You must use WP:AFD if you feel it should be deleted. ~ GB fan 15:18, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve EU Institute for International Law and International Relations

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Journalistdavidoff, thanks for creating EU Institute for International Law and International Relations!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This has been tagged as needing its sources WP:INLINECITED, as at the moment it isn't easy for readers or other editors to verify the information.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr Mahmoud Refaat

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Dr Mahmoud Refaat, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it 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.

The International Gazette moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, The International Gazette, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

Draft:The International Gazette concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:The International Gazette, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:32, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:The International Gazette

Hello, Journalistdavidoff. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "The International Gazette".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:46, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
