Your new article Music as a coping strategy
Many thanks for starting this new article. I am concerned that as it is incomplete, and in particular because it is not yet referenced, it is at risk of deletion (most obviously as an essay - WP:OR). Might I suggest that you temporarily move it to your own user space until it is ready? Please let me know if you require assistance in this task. RichardOSmith (talk) 19:16, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions! I will have references and a completed version of the article soon. In the meantime, how do I go about moving this to my own userspace? (Ryanbasilsmith (talk) 19:25, 19 April 2015 (UTC))


 * At the top of the page you should see a "move" tag; this will allow you to move the page to User:Ryanbasilsmith/Music as a coping strategy which is "your" space to do what you want with. When you are happy you can follow the same procedure to move it back. This will, unfortunately, leave a redirect page from the original location to your userpage which should not be there; you can ask for an administrator to remove that by editing it and replacing the entire content (#REDIRECT and the target) by . Another option you have, if you think it will be finished soon, would be to leave the page where it is and place  at the head of it - this will place text to explain what is happening. If you choose the latter route then other people may still, of course, work on the page, move it, nominate or for deletion or do anything they want; in your own userpage this will not happen. Let me me know if you require any assistance! (My advice and assistance is as a fellow editor; I am not an administrator on the site.) RichardOSmith (talk) 19:39, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
