Mistaken move
You mistakenly moved Article wizard/Ready for submission to Dokdonia donghaensis, so I have moved it back. --David Biddulph (talk) 23:50, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi David, is my page in the wrong place? I was having some confusion earlier because I wanted to change the title from my username/sandbox to the title of the organism of interest. I'm still trying to learn how to use wikipedia but I have to submit a page in order to receive credit for a class. How do I fix the issues I am having? Sorry for the long message. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lizayy17 (talk • contribs) 04:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, can I publish my page directly to wikipedia for users to see or do I have to wait 2-3 weeks for my draft to be reviewed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lizayy17 (talk • contribs) 01:42, 5 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Your draft is in the right place, at Draft:Dokdonia donghaensis. It is safest to wait for the draft to be reviewed.  If you try to move it and move it to the wrong place, it is liable to be deleted, given the number of warnings you've had, here and below.  While you are waiting for it to be reviewed, please read the advice you've received on various topics, particularly reading the various links such as to the WP:Manual of Style and to Help:Referencing for beginners.  You may also find it useful to read WikiProject Biology and relevant links from there.  You can make further edits while the draft is awaiting review.  Note also that your attempts above to "ping" me did not work because you failed to sign your messages; see WP:Notification. --David Biddulph (talk) 06:14, 5 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Further to the remarks above & elsewhere, I notice that one of your recent edits to your draft has added a misplaced external link. You also still have a number of spaces before references, contravening WP:PUNCREF. --David Biddulph (talk) 01:29, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Dokdonia donghaensis
There are a number of problems with your new article Dokdonia donghaensis. Please read the links in the tags which I added. --David Biddulph (talk) 23:50, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Reference used more than once
See Help:Referencing for beginners for how to deal with this situation. --David Biddulph (talk) 00:13, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Subpage move
Since user subpages have to be just that, I have moved Dokdonia donghaensis to just that, since a user of that name does not exist. JudgeRM  (talk to me)  04:31, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

I see that the move referred to above was just one of a number of confused page moves which you have made, see the move log. Please don't try to move pages until you understand where things ought to be. If you believe that something needs moving, please ask for help. --David Biddulph (talk) 08:49, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Bold text
I notice that you have used bold text in a number of places in your draft Draft:Dokdonia donghaensis, particularly in reference citations. The wikipedia Manual of Style tells you where bold text is appropriate, see MOS:BOLD. --David Biddulph (talk) 09:48, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 * To add to my remarks above, I see that you have recently added a taxobox, and at first glance it does look as if your formatting there does comply with that described in Template:Taxobox. Well done! --David Biddulph (talk) 09:58, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
