Help me!

Is it possible to delete my old draft page associated with my canceled username?

It is under Username:Pentjak Silat Poekoelan Tjimindie

I will just start a new draft under my changed Username:Lifetime Student

Thanks for your quick response.

Hey man, I'm sure you're really busy but as I said in my first request. I have been trying to figure this out for hours and hours. It isn't clearly stated about how to change the user name. I have followed the lead again ando again with no luck. ALSO, I surely intend to "summarize what reliable sources such as newspapers or reputable sports magazines have reported about this martial art", however, I have to say, it is not a well known martial art and information on it truly is scarce. I know what I know because I have studied and taught it for forty years directly from the family that brought it to America. So I will try to qualify as much as I can but for sure, given me being a newbie to your complicated (unnecessarily) procedures and the rarity of having to find written, published info on a martial art that is vowed to not discuss itself publicly - it will take a while. The article I am writing was just begun as I signed in and signed out (in the end). My internet doesn't stay connected well so I need to invariably reset it to continue with my edit.

So again, I just began this article and you (whoever) are demanding sources faster than I put on paper. I'm happy to accommodate this most necessary procedure but you need to be patient. I don't know what I'm doing in the requirements and the procedure of Wikipedia.

Thanks -

I'm very new to Creating an article on Wikipedia. The time constraints are to tight for my level of efficiency. I have been trying for hours to address the issues mentioned by Editor Jimfbleak. I am being told I need to change my username. I don't understand why, but more importantly, I can't find a hint of how to do that. Also. I'm being told to add references. This is my first time doing this so it will take longer to accomplish. I had just began as I wad blocked or deleted (I don't know which one).

This is all very complicated. No Editors Talk site has a place to input any information. That is as far as I can see. Could sure use some guidance.

The "why" is because your username refers to an organization; Wikipedia accounts are for individuals, not for groups or organizations, and the userrname must reflect that. Regarding the article, I'd suggest you use the Article Wizard to write a draft that summarizes what reliable sources such as newspapers or reputable sports magazines have reported about this martial art. The article you wrote cited no such sources and gave no indication that Pentjak Silat Poekoelan Tjimindie meets Wikipedia's standards of notability. Huon (talk) 17:41, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
