Hello, DragonofBatley. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, " Scroll of the Dragon".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗ plicit 00:35, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Greetings, DragonofBatley.
I propose to start a topic about this on the Stanley talk page so that we can discuss it. OK for you?
Cheers, — Protalina ( talk) 23:47, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Please check your page creations like Stillington railway station to make sure that all your links go to the right pages. I've fixed your two links to the Stillington disambiguation page.
There is an easy way to avoid linking to disambiguation pages: if you go to "Preferences", "Gadgets", and look under "Appearance" you'll see "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" towards the bottom of the section. Select that tickbox, and whenever you Preview a page you'll be able to see whether you've accidentally linked to a disambiguation page.
If you aren't using that gadget, then just take more care to check every link you add to make sure it's correct. Thanks. Pam D 09:32, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Please read WP:GNG. Notability requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. All of your railway station articles that I redirected fail to meet this standard. Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 19:35, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Stillington railway station. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 04:20, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Stockton (S&D) railway station. 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 for registered users, 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. It appears that you created Stockton (S&D) railway station on 4 June by copying other editors' work from the article Stockton railway station (S&D) which had existed since 2022. That is not how to move an article. Any further such copying will be considered as disruptive editing. Thanks. Pam D 08:01, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Please do not move articles to different titles which do not comply with
WP:ENGLANDPLACE, ie
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#England. This says "Where disambiguation is required,
placename, ceremonial county is normally used."
You have recently moved
Stanhope, County Durham to
Stanhope, England and
Halifax, West Yorkshire to
Halifax, United Kingdom. Both have been reverted as undiscussed moves. In both cases the existing title was correct. "Only one in England" is not a reason to change the disambiguation: placename disambiguation doesn't work in quite the same way as normal disambiguation, but follows specific rules (and it was incorrect for Stanhope, as there is a
Stanhope, Kent).
Continuing to move articles to incorrect titles will be considered as disruptive editing. Pam D 07:37, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Stockton (S&D) railway station. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Stockton (Stockton & Darlington Railway) railway station. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Stockton (Stockton & Darlington Railway) railway station. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Pam D 07:50, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
