Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Arthur Dyson 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:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

The article is much too detailed. It should mention the most important aspects of his work, not discuss each feature of every building individually. Remove phrases expressing quality or excellence--the material presented should show it in plain language. He;'s highly notable, and there is no need to explain everything. Try summarizing it in about half the space, and resubmit.

Working in the Wikipedia Ecosystem Suggestion
[edit]Hi! I've been following your conversation with DGG. I thought I'd chime in. Could you consider splitting your article? Perhaps the bio and Works of Arthur Dyson—or another partition? (Best you consult with DGG as he is much more knowledgable than I.)
To my mind, Wikipedia is much more and much less than a committee. It's activist in freeing knowledge, but uses consensus in building articles. Ponderous, but productive.
I hope you will contribute more articles here—a few short ones next, to get a feel for the process. — Neonorange (talk) 09:43, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- I don't really see the advantage of beginning with a split. I think the best way, and the usual way that articles on artists and other creative people are written, would be a single article, with appropriate emphasis on the most important works and influences, and possibly a mere list of other substantial works. After that, it would be a good idea to expand, but I'd suggest doing it as individual articles on the very most important buildings, taking care that their importance is shown in our customary way by reference to published sources from other people that discuss them in a substantial manner.

DGG ( talk ) 18:17, 15 December 2014 (UTC)- I know you;re still working on it, but it is certainly satisfactory now, I moved it to mainspace, and you can work on it further there. The main thing that is needed is specific citation for every element in the professional work sections for the different decades, -- look for sentences implying judgments and see if they are actually needed.
