Avoiding circular references to Wikipedia

edit

Hi there, I thought I'd leave a note regarding an edit of yours that I undid: https://en.wikipedia.org/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)Reply

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)Reply
