| The two sections about copyright are redundant: | |||
| *"Your article will be rejected if... uses copyrighted material copy-pasted from a source." | |||
| *"Do not copy-paste material from sources. This constitutes copyright infringement, and is not allowed." | |||
| How about: "Your article will be rejected if the topic is not notable, is referenced improperly, or it uses copyrighted material copied from another source." and we delete the second redundant part about copyright. Note that I also fixed the grammar and changed "copy-pasted" to "copied" since "copied" is more easily understood and it's still a copyvio even if they copy it by manual transcription rather than pasting. Also, can we please, please try to not expand the instructions further. Every system we build for guiding people through article creation seems to inevitably evolve into a wall of text that no one reads. ] (]) 04:16, 15 July 2019 (UTC) | |||

Article wizard should not overwrite existing drafts
From this diff, it appears the article wizard sometimes overwrites existing drafts. Does this wizard have a maintainer that can look into this possible bug? I think if the article wizard overwrites existing drafts some or all of the time, this is undesirable behavior and should probably be fixed. Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:43, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

- The Wizard does not overwrite drafts. The article wizard opens a window with the page to be created, and if there is something there it shows that content. If someone chooses to overwrite the content that was already there, that is their problem. Primefac (talk) 17:03, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Proposed change to first page of the wizard
Suggested edit to first page, implemented at User:Gryllida/NewArticleBLPv1/preload/wizpage, to encourage new users to author tiny submissions which can be easier to review and reduce the backlog. Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 00:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Proposed change to Misplaced Pages:Article_wizard/CommonMistakes
It seems, from Misplaced Pages:Help desk#Difference between "connected to" and "passionate", that a clarification of Misplaced Pages:Article_wizard/CommonMistakes might be useful. There might be clearer ways to express the concept of a COI. HLHJ (talk) 16:50, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
