Welcome to Wikipedia, HolSegel!

I'm Seagull123 and I want to welcome you to Wikipedia!

Wikipedia is an amazing community adventure which is constantly being edited. There are many different versions of Wikipedia for many different languages, and the English version has 6,912,297 articles which are written by volunteers like you and me! We even have a newspaper, The Signpost, to keep you up to date with news and new developments. Making your first steps on Wikipedia can be hard sometimes, so if you need any help, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page or ask a question on your talk page by clicking here. Someone will help you soon!

Wikipedia has five pillars which summarise Wikipedia's fundamental principles:

Please help me with... I completed one edit on a page that was auto-suggested to me. I want to complete additional edits so that I can eventually upload an article of my own. How do I find other pages that need edits? HolSegel (talk) 14:08, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi HolSegel! Thanks for your contributions so far! I've left a welcome message at the top of this page which may be of interest to you. Also, for a page listing areas you can help improve/edit, go to WP:Task center and follow the links on that page. If you want anymore specific help, ask at the Teahouse, or you can click this link to ask a question, or just leave a message on my talk page. Seagull123 Φ 14:53, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After converting run-on material in Civil War articles to lists, you can choose to remove the maintenance tag, as I have done for the articles you did. David notMD (talk) 16:47, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

Hello, HolSegel. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!
Please note that all old questions are archived after 2-3 days of inactivity. Message added by Mr. Heart ^(talk) 15:13, 2 November 2020 (UTC). (You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{teahouse talkback}} template).[reply]

Publish = Save. Your Sandbox is semi-private, in that it will not be found by anyone searching for stuff on Wikipedia. HOWEVER, any editor could go to your User page or Talk page, and if you have created content there, they could click on View history to see contributions to those pages, and as you contributed there, they could then click on Contributions after your entry and get to a list of ALL of your contributions, including your Sandbox. Even after you delete content from your Sandbox, any editor can look at View history for your Sandbox, scan down to a deletion and see what you deleted.

Got it! Thanks!

Hello to all you editor types out there...I have a ROUGH draft of my article up in my Sandbox. Given the process I used to create it I couldn't put the name on the HolSegel:userpage/The Biber Protocol. So when I am ready to publish this article, I will be able to change the name? Also, I have 2 tables and 3 images that I will upload at some point. Also, know that if you look at my page now, you will see bracketed numbers to mark the place of references which I will be inserting this week. Once I insert the citations I will delete those placeholders. Please tell me I am on the right track! ...and thanks in advance!!!

File permission problem with File:A Simple model of electrical stimulation by Tim Watson.png

I will submit the email for this image within the required 7 days.

Submitting article for review

I tried to submit my article for review but I keep getting a message to click the 'publish changes' button at the bottom and there is no such button. Have I done something wrong?

Thanks, HolSegel (talk) 14:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I realized that the button shows up if I keep the article in source code. Thanks, HolSegel (talk) 14:23, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:HolSegel

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:HolSegel, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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.

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.Deb (talk) 15:35, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I feel terrible that this was perceived as promotional. I wanted to go back and edit to make it fit within the guidelines (which I wasn't aware I was violating) and now it is gone. How do I find my deleted article so that I can improve and revise it to meet the standards? HolSegel (talk) 15:45, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. If it was promotionally worded, I would be unlikely to restore it, because promotional wording is not allowed, even in a sandbox. If you create a new version in draft space, you can submit it for review and get opinions from other editors. Deb (talk) 14:38, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thank you for your help. I thought it would be easier to revise the original but I will create a new post. I have written many research based articles and thought I was submitting research to support the views claimed by the protocol. I have been working to revise that and will just submit a new page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Biber Protocol (April 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DGG was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Biber Protocol and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Biber Protocol, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

DGG ( talk ) 01:05, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, HolSegel! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DGG ( talk ) 01:05, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Biber Protocol

Hello, HolSegel. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Biber Protocol, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occurred, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 02:01, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Biber Protocol

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

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 deleted. If 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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:24, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
