Mrs. Warren's Profession: The Social Stigma of Prostitution in Victorian Europe article[edit]

Hello, thanks for writing this. I'm a bit confused by the article as it seems to present your opinions in an essay about the play without any citations. Also, it doesn't seem to be necessary for this to be its own article - there's already an article about this play at Mrs. Warren's Profession. Maybe you want to put some of this content there to improve that article? Let me know if you have any thoughts about this or things you want to ask about.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Mrs. Warren's Profession: The Social Stigma of Prostitution in Victorian Europe. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Mrs. Warren's Profession. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Mrs. Warren's Profession – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 removed 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Blythwood (talk) 00:45, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just seen this. To explain - Wikipedia really isn't meant to be used a drafting space for your own writing. If you need a place online to draft an essay, I highly recommend Evernote or Google Docs as free and private cloud document editing platforms with generous storage limits that you can edit from any modern computer/phone/tablet/etc, anywhere, anytime. But if you are actually planning to draft articles intended for use on Wikipedia, you can do that by creating a draft page. That said, for any new page created there should be a good reason why the content can't just be added to a pre-existing page, so it's often good to discuss a plan for a page with the Articles for Creation group or Teahouse project before starting work. But just let me know if you have any questions about this. (Also, Wikipedia editors are in a real range of time zones - if you need to give a time, it's best to say what time zone you're talking about since we have no idea what country you're writing from!)
