Welcome!

Hello, Tuj21794, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Jacktuj21794/Australian deaf community

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Jacktuj21794/Australian deaf community, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Notes

Hi! I want to introduce myself a bit and explain why I'm here - I used to work for WikiEd and as I still enjoy helping students, I keep an eye on Ian's talk page to see if there's anywhere I can help out. (@Ian (Wiki Ed):) I saw that someone had tagged your page and wanted to give a bit of help - not because of the tag, but because this topic area interests me.

I wanted to caution you a bit about tone. Some of this came from the original article, but it's still good to be careful of this. Avoid terms like 'notable' since that tends to be non-neutral depending on how it's used. For example, if I say that Elton John's "Philadelphia Freedom" is a notable work in his career then it can come across like I'm saying that it's more notable than say his songs, "Your Song" or "Rocket Man". Someone could agree, but then they could easily ask why I viewed this song as more notable than the next. On the other hand, if I'm attributing the term to someone then it's OK to use as long as it's clear that it's not us (Wikipedia editors) attributing our own value to it. This can be done via a quote or by writing a sentence such as "Elton John's "Philadelphia Freedom" has been considered one of his most notable songs by critics and outlets such as (etc)." Another option is to just not use the term, as the general idea is that if it's notable enough to be included in Wikipedia it's something that is going to be seen as notable in general.

Make sure that we're only including content that has been written about in the source material. We should only be summarizing what has already been written in sourcing, rather than creating our own conclusions, hypotheses, or observations. This is probably one of the most major differences between academic writing and writing for Wikipedia and was something I struggled with when I first started editing Wikipedia, to be honest. To this end you also want to avoid "if... then..." and "therefore" type statements. An example of this would be the statement "If you work overtime, then you’ll be paid time-and-a-half." This may sound logical, but keep in mind that what rings true in some situations may not in others - for example, there have been countless times where people were "encouraged" to work overtime for regular or no pay like in sweatshops.

With sourcing, be a little cautious. Deaf related articles aren't automatically going to be considered medical articles, but they can overlap. Just be a little cautious to check over sourcing. Make sure that you're not using study findings unless you have an independent, secondary source to back them up, as the study will be a primary source for those findings. The findings may also not be representative of the overall deaf population in Australia. Using the US as an example, responses from deaf people in Florida may differ from responses from those in California. Socioeconomic differences also plays a role. However literature reviews from a study can typically be used.

I hope this helps! ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 22:12, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
