Does the 6th months rule applies to the article in my profile section too?

Or only the submitted draft will be cancelled? FrancescoGaiani (talk) 20:12, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

I mean the article in my "User Page"

Thank you FrancescoGaiani (talk) 20:13, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for reaching out on my talk page! User pages are not automatically deleted after a specific period of time, but they still have guidelines, as described here: Wikipedia:UPNOT. Since your user page is currently an essay that was declined as an article draft, if you just leave it like that, somebody will eventually delete it - see Wikipedia:FAKEARTICLE. I'd suggest finding another way to post your essay online, such as starting a blog - you could even check out Comparison of free blog hosting services to help you pick one.

Hi! Just a reminder about the guidelines I linked above - your user page could be deleted if you continue to use it as a place to work on an essay. I suggest moving it somewhere else (and deleting the copy here) so you don't lose your work. Dreamyshade (talk) 16:47, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi!

It is NOT an essay, don't know why wikipedia keeps saying this.

I added citation where needed.

What's left is simply arithmetics. I don't think I have to add a citation also for 2+2=4, do I?

The Ball on a String is the most common-knowledge exercise in any physics book of the world, just google it.

Instead of keep repeating that it is an essay, and it plain isn't, tell me where do you want citations.

Thank you. EffeGi (talk) 17:02, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for the frustration! The issue is that the topic seems too specific to be suitable for its own Wikipedia article - to me, it's a concern about notability (Wikipedia:Notability) more than verifiability (Wikipedia:Verifiability). It could help to provide citations showing that this topic is covered in published books as an important exercise. An article on this kind of topic would also need an introduction that explains the concept to a general audience - see Wikipedia:Make technical articles understandable. You could bring this up on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics to see if other people think it should be a standalone article. I would also suggest looking at the existing articles in Category:Thought experiments in physics for useful examples - you'll see that several of the topics are redirects to sections on those topics within more general articles. Dreamyshade (talk) 06:10, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Realized I should add another note - there's also the related concern of "original research" (Wikipedia:No original research). If part of your work is a derivation of existing principles, rather than basically a summary of published sources, it's more appropriate to remove those parts and replace them with something you can cite to sources. I don't work on articles this field, but in general when I'm writing other articles, I try to make sure almost every sentence is cited - see Wikipedia:NOTCITE. Dreamyshade (talk) 06:22, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Ok I understand.

I'm removing the article as soon as now.

I occasionally (a long time ago) published on Wikipedia (in italian) one original content inside an article from another user "Il problema di Monty Hall" see "Spiegazione caso per caso" - it's mine, and it was a little corrected from the OP and is still there.

So I didn't know that some "original content" (which is none cause again we are dealing with scholastic exercises - i've no Galileo syndrome - ) could be a problem.

Thank you for the help. EffeGi (talk) 10:18, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

If you're interested, I'd encourage helping improve existing articles! There are lots of opportunities to fact-check, clarify, and add references to physics articles around here. Adding brief illustrations or examples can be helpful too, as a minor part of an article on a larger topic. Dreamyshade (talk) 11:21, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm DVdm. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Angular momentum, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 12:44, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Note: see also our policy about wp:original research. You tried to create all that content in an new article. It was rejected twice. That does not mean that you can insert it into an existing article. - DVdm (talk) 12:52, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
