Page move

So i moved Ma Ceres P. Doyo to Draft:Ma Ceres P. Doyo due to it not being finished. MoonlightVector 16:31, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MoonlightVector: It's a stub, and I had been perfectly happy to let it remain such for a while. I've seen many less-developed stub like that. Do I have to bring it up to start class for it no longer to be a draft? Because I was planning to move on to other Philippine journalists of the era like Boni Ilagan or Bobbie Malay Ocampo. - MoxiePH (talk) 16:39, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure it is up to par and then request a proper page reviewer to see if it is good enough. MoonlightVector 16:41, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MoonlightVector: What's "up to par"? It passes notability for certain, and it quickly summarizes the journalist's most important historical contribution. It ends abruptly at 1981, that's the only thing I can see that's wrong with it, for a stub.- MoxiePH (talk) 16:44, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I cant fully explain what up to par means. But if you feel like its good enough to move to mainspace then you may request. MoonlightVector 16:45, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quitting Wikipedia.

For now, at least. Thanks for the interactions. - MoxiePH (talk) 14:22, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

MoxiePH, I just found out about the unpleasant experience you had here in early September. I am quite surprised to see it happen twice in a row with a new editor, actually. The editor that moved your article to draft didn't really know what they were doing, and they have now been blocked, in part because of what happened with you. I hope you see this; and regardless, I hope you decide to give it another try. If you do, when you do, I recommend you check out the teahouse (WP:TEAHOUSE) and the Women in Red Project (WP:WPWIR). I feel quite confident in saying that you will find help as well as kindness at the TEAHOUSE as well as the women in red talk page at WT:WPWIR. You can also ping me or contact me at my talk page if you need help. Other editors who you find helping new editors at the teahouse or women in red are also usually experienced with and interested in helping new editors, so you can contact any one of them as well. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 08:40, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... and from me, too

Usedtobecool had the same idea as me; here's what I had typed when I got an edit conflict :-)

MoxiePH, I saw your experience mentioned at a noticeboard (permanent section link), and I wanted to apologize. Maria Ceres Doyo looks just fine. (To answer your question about the books, it's nice to give the ISBNs both for books by the subject of the article and for books cited as references; this can be done using the parameter in the citation templates, or as a standalone using {{ISBN|.........}}; that creates a clickable link that takes the reader to a number of listings, including WorldCat. Or for older books where there isn't an ISBN, there's {{OCLC|.......}} for the WorldCat listing. I also like to give year, location, and publisher.) I'm very sorry I don't see people advising and encouraging you here, or on its talk page, but I do note that it was moved back to mainspace and that others did help expand it. The move to draft space was wrong, as noted at the noticeboard, and should have been reverted faster. What was deleted was the redirect left after that move; the history of your article remained with the draft, the article itself was never deleted; but nobody seems to have explained this to you. I hope you return to Wikipedia. I cannot promise to have all the answers; it's a sprawling project; but I've been around for many years and I'm pretty good at looking things up, so if you do return and need help, in addition to the Teahouse mentioned at the top of this page, you can try summoning me by typing {{U|Yngvadottir}} and signing the comment; or coming to my own talk page; or there is a template {{Help me}}—copy that and ask your question below it, and that attracts attention. Hope to see you back here. Yngvadottir (talk) 08:51, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
