Padded cell

If you want to move that article to Seclusion room then start a discussion by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Controversial. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 23:23, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

you redirected seclusion room to the original padded cell article. But padded cell is not a common term at all. they are almost always called seclusion room and padded cell should redirect to the seclusion room article. SSCTH (talk) 04:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Please read what I wrote in my first comment. And stop doing this. It's done using Wikipedia:Hatnote, like this. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:13, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

"Padded cell" is a far more common term than "seclusion room" according to their appearances in books. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:21, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Question about move of page to Seclusion and restraint practices

Hi! When you moved Seclusion and restraint practices in the U.S. education system to Seclusion and restraint practices, did you also plan to introduce more global perspectives on the subject? Asking because I can't imagine another reason such a move would have been performed, but at present the article is still virtually entirely about the US education system. I imagine it's possible such globalization edits by you just haven't had the time to happen, but I just tagged the article with an appropriate tag and thought I'd just ask as well to figure out if global perspectives on the subject was your intent. Thanks. - Purplewowies (talk) 21:55, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

yes. I will add global perspectives soon. within the next few days. SSCTH (talk) 22:56, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

English spelling

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Leaf by Niggle, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:16, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

In other words, all J. R. R. Tolkien articles, including all those on his fantasy world of Middle-earth, are in British English. This consists not only of British spelling but British diction – the way we group words when reading them out loud, and hence the way we punctuate sentences – is different from American diction, and this should not be "corrected". All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:12, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Restraint and seclusion

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Restraint and seclusion. 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 – Seclusion and restraint practices in the U.S. education system. 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 Seclusion and restraint practices in the U.S. education system. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it 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 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. 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. AusLondonder (talk) 23:01, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
