Self-propelled particles
Hi Odauchot. I have reverted your changes to Self-propelled particles. I appreciate they were made in good faith, and were inspired by a conference you were attending. However, a core pillar of Wikipedia is verifiability. While your edits may be accurate, they have not been accompanied with citations to reliable sources. However, I urge you to persist in your efforts to improve Wikipedia by discussing the changes you think should be made on the article talk page. --Epipelagic (talk) 06:34, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, this was ongoing work. Can you tell me how I am suppose to proceed if I want to work on a draft and then publish it. In the present case, can I use the version you have removed, complement it with references as I planned to do and then replace the online one wit it? Odauchot (talk) 09:01, 23 September 2015 (UTC)


 * If you look at the top right of this page you will find a link to your personal sandbox. You can work on your drafts there. Your colleague, Happy boson, has restored your changes, though they should have discussed the issue first on the article talk page. I'll let that stand because I think I can see now why you are reorganising the article. Nothing is lost on Wikipedia. If you look at the top right of the article on Self-propelled particles you will find a link called "View history". If you click that it will open this page. From there you can view or recover (copy) anything that has happened historically to the article. Regards. --Epipelagic (talk) 16:16, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
