Rococo Art Period

Dear Msldy22 I came across your article, which was posted onto my watchlist for examination, which is natural and mysterious process within Wikipedia. Anyway your large and rather excellent first article needs a wee bit of work to make acceptable. First of all, it doesn't seem to have a lede, which is the bit at the top, which described the context of the article and defines why it is notable. It is very much notable. Also you seem to have used a fair number of Wikipedia references, which are considered illegal. I don't think you would have any problem find sources, google books is a good place. There is an Rococo article, which I guess your going to link to. I would fix it myself, but I don't really known what the Rococo Art Period is, and I'm also up to my eyelids in my own work. I have posted a copy-edit tag, to get the work started. scope_creep (talk) 20:50, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Redirecting your article

Hi Msldy22, I wanted to let you know that I redirected your article Rococo Art Period to the existing page Rococo. Much of what you discussed on the former (art, furniture) are already covered on the latter; recreating an article that essentially already exists is known as a content fork, and is discouraged. Don't panic, though! All the work that you put into Rococo Art Period is still accessible by looking at the page history ([1]). I encourage you to look at the page history and see what content you've already written can be added to the existing article, Rococo. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
