Student project[edit]

Hi. If you are running a student project, please read:

There have been some excellent and productive projects, but there have also been some which were frustrating and disappointing for the participants and caused a great deal of clean-up work for other Wikipedians. The advice in those two articles is based on hard-won experience, and is essential reading before your project gets under way. I apologise if you are already familiar with them; one of Wikipedia's problems is that there is no lack of advice and guidance available, but it can be difficult to find the bits you need.

Speedy deletion nomination of Homework for Monday[edit]

A tag has been placed on Homework for Monday, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

hi![edit]

Hi Joe,

It looks like you're running a classroom project. That's great; as the message above noted, there are lots of Wikipedians who can help out.

First off, it looks like some of your pages are getting deleted -- please be sure to put class related pages in your userspace, so that won't happen.

Second, can you please list your project and and this page at the School and University Projects page? That will help us keep a record of the university projects that have gone on, and let other editors know that these pages are student projects.

Thanks! Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 07:23, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added a placeholder note here; please correct it if it's incorrect, and add more info! (for instance, are the students expected to move their articles out into mainspace? -- phoebe / (talk to me) 07:32, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please review for copypaste[edit]

Hello. I had a concern that one of your students may have copied and pasted some work. Could you please verify that there is no copyright violation in this Turkish hamster project and post on the talk page? Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 07:10, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
