Be bold!

Howdy hello! I saw that you recently created a draft about activated charcoal. The draft will probably be declined or deleted, as draft space is used to create new articles from scratch. Your submission seemed more like a short paragraph that could be included in an existing article. So why not be WP:BOLD, one of the central tenants of Wikipedia? Find a good place in the right article to include it, and add it yourself! Thats what Wikipedia is all about. If you have any questions, feel free to click on the "Edits ho" part of my signature and leave a message. Smooth sailing, Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 08:41, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:Texner43/sandbox

Hello, Texner43. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

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) 17:28, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
