Avoiding circular references to Wikipedia
[edit]Hi there, I thought I'd leave a note regarding an edit of yours that I undid: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Demon_Bear&diff=prev&oldid=1066770437 Wikipedia articles are ideally based on reliable independent outside sources (per the verifiability policy) and so as a rule, don't cite Wikipedia in Wikipedia articles. You need a foundation for a building – the building can't support itself. It must rest on the ground. WP:CIRCULAR covers this subject further. We don't want a situation in which somebody makes up something in a Wikipedia article, and then another article cites it, further cementing a piece of falsehood. – Anon423 (talk) 02:22, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Rk052020/new sandbox, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It appears to be a test page. (See section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi, I'm IAmChaos, and I've noticed your recent contributions, such as Rk052020/new sandbox. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft of your article in draftspace or in your userspace first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version.
- Sandboxes should not be created in the article space. Please draft by creating a draft or Userspace draft before creating an article page. Also, please do not recreate pages that have now been deleted thrice, unless you have good reason to do so. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 04:31, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
