Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.

Speedy deletion nomination of GlobalGirl Media[edit]

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 GlobalGirl Media, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://globalgirlmedia.org/about/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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 removed 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.

Comment on article[edit]

Hi, I've just been looking at your article GlobalGirl Media myself. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Wikipedia as it stands.

It doesn't justify that the organisation is notable by Wikipedia's standards - by citing articles written about it in neutral outlets, especially media of a nationalwide or international reputation.
It copies the organisation's "about us" text, which we can't use as it's copyrighted advertising copy.

My advice right now is ditch the text you have and write a new one, keeping it strictly factual and non-promotional. Focus on information that has been published in neutral media about this organisation. My advice would be to write your article using the article wizard, writing it as a draft before submitting it to review, to avoid publishing your article before it's ready.

Also, if you work for the organisation in any way, you must disclose it by filing a "conflict of interest disclosure" such as by putting a statement on your talk page (that's a link to a guide) - if you don't do this you and your employer could be in violation of and liable under section 4 of the Wikimedia terms of service.

Please just let me know if you have any thoughts or questions. Blythwood (talk) 21:38, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A page you started (Worldism) has been reviewed![edit]

Thanks for creating Worldism, Mgmaliska!

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Unless this theory has been extensively covered and developed by other writers (and not just in reviews of Ling's work) it might be better to discuss the theory on the author's article, or an article on the book itself. You must demonstrate the theory passes WP:GNG, for a stand-alone article, and even then, merging may be appropriate.

To reply, leave a comment on Animalparty's talk page.
