Your talk page moved
[edit]Hi, Chekavar. Another user asked me to come take a look at your userpages and advise you a little bit. As a general rule, your User talk page (that's this page) needs to be reserved as a space for other editors to talk to you--to bring questions or concerns. As such, I moved the article draft that you had here to User:Chekavar/draft; that's called a "sub-page", and is a way for you to work on a draft of an article outside of the main encyclopedia. Additionally, I had to make some changes to it and your userpage; specifically, I had to make it so that some of the templates didn't show up, and so that the pages weren't in categories, since userpages aren't part of the main encyclopedia. I also added a template at the top clearly showing that these are not encyclopedia articles. If you want to work on the article itself, you should do that at Chekavar.
However, having said that, I see that you've been trying to return Chekavar to an older version (the same version in your userspace), which appears to be inappropriate. The version you're trying to return to has a lot of uncited information (information on Wikipedia must be verifiable), is not neutral (see WP:NPOV), and relies on a number of very old sources which do not seem to meet our reliable sources guidelines. Rather than simply trying to go back to an old version, what you should do is go to Talk:Chekavar, and make a specific suggestion about one part that you think should change. Note that, again, you have to be neutral and you have to have sources for the change. I know that User:Sitush (the one who asked me here and who has been reverting you) will be happy to discuss the matter. If you have any questions about our policies or procedures, I'm also happy to help. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:31, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
