I moved this page to your userspace so that you can get it in proper shape befor you put it into article space. It's not the proper title anyway: which is why a bot tagged it as a possible autobiography, since the article name starts with your username. Any questions, leave a mesage here & I'll try to help. I should warn you, btw, that there's something on the page about it being a paper you've written: since Wikipedia does not permit original research (see WP:OR) you may have a problem here.TheLongTone (talk) 09:12, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the explanations and advice! The portion mentioning that I have written a paper on it simply refers to the fact that I compiled others research on the topic into one paper (i.e. this wikipage). None of this is my research, just the summarizing and condensing of other astronomers research.


 * Having looked about, I've found Void (astronomy), which probably covers the subject already. It's always a good idea to see if a topic is covered before starting an article, & adding to existing articls is a better introduction to editing than creating a new article.TheLongTone (talk) 09:39, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * That exact page is what spurred me to write this Wiki, it is terribly bare and incomplete and I thought a ground up revamp as well as a name change to the proper term would be easier than trying to work off of that existing model. Also, my article was just deleted and I can't exactly tell why, do you possibly know of the reason?


 * Your page still exists: click on the link in the section heading. What has been deleted is the redirect in article space leading to the page. I would be wary of creating a new page over the existing: I think it would be better to improve the existing article (although I do know that substantially improving an existing article can be harder than starting from scratch), & if you think it does not have the proper name the article can be moved to another title. However I would raise the subject on the article talkpage first. Btw you should be signing your posts: you do this by typing four tildes (~) at the end TheLongTone (talk) 10:07, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks again! You are honestly being a tremendous help :) So when I save my current edits, do I save them under a different area? Because when I hit save changes it told me that the page had been deleted and asked if I was sure I wanted to recreate the page. Also, do you think it would be acceptable to create this page and then work on trying to see how conducive the current Void (astronomy) page is to a complete restructuring? Because I honestly don't want to keep (essentially) anything from the current page, the format is clunky, the content is very basic and the references are less-than-ideal since the Kauffman textbook being cited goes into very little detail about voids, and the there are only two other citations besides that, whereas I have included 28 different astrophysical publications.

 * OK. First, do edits in the page now in your userspace, ie the one linked in the header for this conversation. Just edit & save changes. This is your article as written, I simply moved to 'userspace'. What I would recommend is using this as a draft to establish what you want the article to be, and then introduce the changes into the existing article. Before you do anything, you do need to work out how to do the coding for citations: best way to do this is to look at the code for an existing article.TheLongTone (talk) 10:39, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
