Welcome

Hello, Adoyle6 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one.

Go through our online training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Helpme}} before the question.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Chris Troutman (talk) 03:05, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Since you are a registered user, you can directly create that article; no need to go through the WP:AFC process. Please read up about creating your article at WP:CREATE. Add your article listing to the course page, too. Chris Troutman (talk) 04:45, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • But given that the article was rejected at AFD (and for good reason), I am surprised that you went ahead and created it anyway. The article is now tagged for several problems, which should be addressed. Chris, before encouraging your students to create an article, you should perhaps give thema tiny weenie bit more instruction than just a link to WP:CREATE, otherwise this is just going to be yet another class assignment disaster, with most contributions reverted once the class is done. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 17:59, 6 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
This article is an opportunity for Adolyle6 to learn about the wiki and become an editor. The wiki will be better for it. I promise Adolye6's contributions will be more significant that the previous failed attempt. I only want to ensure the student is able to address the problems indicated by the maintenance tag before the article is overrun by zealous editors. In the future I'll try to bring these notability issues to the professor teaching the course. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:09, 6 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • You should tell them to work in their sandbox and only let the article be moved into mainspace if it stands a chance. That saves the students a lot of aggravation and saves time for the other editors. --Randykitty (talk) 18:24, 6 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Adoyle6! As a student editor on Wikipedia, you have a lot of valuable experience about what it's like to edit as a part of a classroom assignment. In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful to hear from real student editors about their challenges, successes, and support needs. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions by clicking below. (Note that the responses are posted to a public wiki page.) Thanks!
