Do you want one Edit tab, or two? It's your choice

How to switch between editing environments
Part of the toolbar in the visual editor
Click the [[ ]] to switch to the wikitext editor.
Part of the toolbar in the wikitext editor
Click the pencil icon to switch to the visual editor.

The editing interface will be changed soon. When that happens, editors who currently see two editing tabs – "Edit" and "Edit source" – will start seeing one edit tab instead. The single edit tab has been popular at other Wikipedias. When this is deployed here, you may be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred appearance and behavior the next time you click the Edit button. You will also be able to change your settings in the Editing section of Special:Preferences.

You can choose one or two edit tabs. If you chose one edit tab, then you can switch between the two editing environments by clicking the buttons in the toolbar (shown in the screenshots). See Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors for more information and screenshots.

There is more information about this interface change at mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab. If you have questions, suggestions, or problems to report, then please leave a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.

Need help creating pages - Darren Rhodes, Daniel Lacerda and Yogananth

Hi Ged UK,

I would really appreciate if you landed me a hand, and pointed me in the right direction.

I am a new Wikipedian, and as such, I have been very discouraged when the page I created for Darren Rhodes has been nominated for speedy deletion and then deleted.

I have messaged SwisterTwister editor, who have reviewed a bunch of my pages. I got no reply, so I went ahead and posted the page for Darren Rhodes.

Please take a look at Dharma Mittra page and explain why Darren Rhodes page I created has been deleted? Are they not both yoga authors and owners of yoga studios in the US?

Here is the message I sent to SwisterTwister:

"Thank you very much for reviewing my pages, I really appreciate it.

I have been creating pages for several yoga poses and plan on continuing to do so, first according to the List of asanas page, and then expanding beyond that as well. I am very passionate about yoga poses and this is a fun and important project for me.

I wanted to introduce a few books that feature yoga poses I'm writing about, since I feel it might help the Wikipedia readers expand their understanding of the poses.

I keep referencing the same 5 books, which I have in my library. I noticed that only one of the authors of these books has a Wikipedia page: Dharma Mittra.

I'd like to create the pages for the following authors, and I thought I'd run it by you to get your feedback, since I am new to Wikipedia and you have been very helpful and encouraging.
