Moving from article space back to draft space

Hello! I am new to editing Wikipedia, so I don't really know how things are done yet. In the past few days, when my account was too young to create new articles, I created the two drafts Draft:Mariel Vázquez and Draft:Mabel Gweneth Humphreys. Today, when my account was old enough to perform moves, I moved these articles from the draft space to the main namespace. I noticed that you just moved them back to the draft space. Could you explain why? Was I not supposed to move them the way that I did? Thank you! Mjsupina (talk) 04:59, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mjsupina: You're technically supposed to put {{subst:submit}} at the top of the drafts if they are actually ready, in your opinion, to be moved to mainspace. This way, someone else more experienced can verify that they are ready, and move them to mainspace. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 05:07, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@I dream of horses: Okay. So is it the case that every new article should be created this way, and will take months in the review process? Also, am I allowed to review my own article, or is this frowned-upon? Mjsupina (talk) 05:19, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mjsupina: Actually, your account is now old enough that you can create articles directly, but again, you really shouldn't move or review your own drafts. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 05:26, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@I dream of horses: Got it. Thanks for letting me pester you with questions!! Mjsupina (talk) 05:27, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Questions post-article rejection

First, thank you for your review and help. Am new to Wikipedia and couldn't figure out how to leave a message on my own page or would have. Sorry about that.

The message I received was that the topic already exists. I'd like to offer some context and ask a couple of questions. The PLATO computer system (main page) was a product of the University of Illinois' Engineering Department. Other departments developed unique cultures using that technology. The School of Music was one of those unique microcosms.

Had I not linked the PLATO reference to the main page, would that have made a difference in approval?

When researching how the School of Music's projects could be added to the main page, I notice that the organization of that article makes it difficult to see a clear way to incorporate the School of Music's history with the PLATO system. Would the recommendation be to rewrite the main page article to the School of Music efforts could be documented? Would like to preserve the unique contributions to technology-based music education from the School of Music.

@Smpmp2: It might help to have an eventualist attitude of "incorporate it however possible, and somebody, who may or may not be me, can figure out how to incorporate it better later". Also, boldly rewriting entire article has been done in the past, and as long as it's not done recklessly (ie, you don't remove references, keep the same amount of information, take constructive feedback and the occasional "bold, revert, discuss" cycle, etc.), it should ideally be okay.

Linking PLATO wouldn't have made a difference. I probably would've been able to find that page regardless. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 02:45, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
