Welcome![edit]

Hello, DM8844, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

  • You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:35, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup necessary[edit]

Editing Wikipedia Articles Biographies

Hi, I moved your work back to your sandbox and you can find it here User:DM8844/sandbox2. You do not have enough sources to establish notability. You need to include more diverse sources to establish that this person is notable enough to be included on Wikipedia. I'm attaching a guide for biographies that you can review. Let me know if you have questions. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:59, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stop moving your article until you fix what I've pointed out[edit]

You have built a biography pretty much entirely off of one source. This is not compatible with Wikipedia policies. You have not established notability in your article. The work you are moving to mainspace is not adequately sourced, and will likely get permanently deleted if you keep moving it. If you move this again without adding additional sources I will email your instructor. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:30, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are engaging in edit warring[edit]

Stop icon

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please fix the issues I've identified before moving your work again. You are placing your work at risk of being deleted by continuously moving it. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:09, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:David H. Cohen[edit]

Hello, DM8844. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "David H. Cohen".

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 edit the submission 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! —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 08:42, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
