 * I will made edits to source more, can I ask why it doesn't qualify as a wiki article? The two departments it is merging from already have their own wikipedia pages:
 * Department of Plant Sciences, University of Oxford
 * Department of Zoology, University of Oxford BiologyCommsOxford (talk) 16:33, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Can you please explain what the inappropriate edits are? I am trying to edit in line with new information from the University of Oxford. BiologyCommsOxford (talk) 10:00, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The inappropriate edits were seemingly promotional, unsourced content with a possible conflict of interest.
 * For example: "The Department's research spans all levels from molecules to ecosystems, and tackles fundamental problems in food security, plant molecular biology disease biology, evolutionary mechanisms, conservation biology, biodiversity, evolutionary developmental biology, climate change and animal behaviour. This diversity is echoed in the teaching of a broad-ranging and highly regarded undergraduate MBiol degree in biology"
 * These edits stray from our preferred manual of style, which includes the principle of least shock/surprise/awe and maintaining a neutral point of view. This text, contrary to that, reads like an advertisement.
 * Hope this helps. mooshberry -> talk ; 19:30, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for highlighting, I will make edits but please be aware this information was pulled verbatim from existing Wikipedia pages which are preparing to be redirected.
 * Department of Zoology, University of Oxford
 * Department of Plant Sciences, University of Oxford
 * This should have been corrected now by a friend - can you advise if their additional sources etc are enough to qualify for publishing the draft?
 * I will now attempt to rename the username again BiologyCommsOxford (talk) 20:29, 28 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I will advise you to inform your friend that they should cease editing lest they be blocked themselves as a sockpuppet or meat puppet. 331dot (talk) 21:38, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you - I will ask them to remove their profile! Can you advise if this profile can be unblocked and the page published yet? BiologyCommsOxford (talk) 07:27, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
