Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Sebastiaan van Herk, from its old location at User:J.coles/sandbox/Sebastiaan van Herk. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Sam Sailor 18:25, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Tips
Hi, looking at your contribution history here it looks like there might be an issue with self-promotion, maybe, and promoting the work of the center. If you're an expert on adaptation, please consider working a lot on the topic in general, drawing on many quality RSs that mention other people and work. That will help establish your credibility as a neutral editor, which is one of the keys to success here. As for any biographical work and the work of the center, please study the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. See WP:PROMO and WP:Reliable sources and WP:PRIMARY for a few good places to start. Thanks for editing! Everyone gets reverted when they start out, don't give up. But do see WP:BRD and WP:TPG and WP:Dispute resolution NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:24, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
