I have created an article in my sandbox and then moved to http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:FaceReveal . But am getting a message as below. "This sandbox is in the Wikipedia namespace. Either move this page into your userspace, or remove the {{User sandbox}} template."
- The prefix "Wikipedia" is for pages to do with the working of the encyclopedia. In order to move the page into the main encyclopedia article space, you need to select "(Article)" from the drop-down menu at the left in the "MOve" page.
- However, I have returned the page to your user space at User:MPSyed/Facereveal because in its present form it is not acceptable and would be speedily deleted because (a) it is much too promotional in tone, reading like Facereveal telling potential users how wonderful it is, but an encyclopedia article requires a neutral point of view, and (b) it does nothing to show why the site is notable enough to have an encyclopedia article, which requires references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
- Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- For background, you might also read User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard, which I wrote because I have this conversation so often.
- When you think the article is ready, I suggest that you click the "Submit the page" button in the box at the top, which will send it to WP:Articles for creation, where an experienced user will check it and either accept it or give you feedback.
