wrap-up of USF project

edit

Hello students working on the University of San Francisco article,

You're probably just about done with your project. If you are still working on the article here are a couple of ideas:

  • one editor posted a great to-do list on the talk page which could be used to improve the sources and some sections
  • you can continue to use the project page Wikipedia:WikiProject University of San Francisco to coordinate
  • Don't forget that Wikipedia is not a guide for students. It's an encyclopedia. And the better the sources are the better the article will be.

General notes:

  • You've probably noticed that other editors are now working on the USF article, in some cases removing some of the material that some of you posted. This is the way Wikipedia is supposed to work. Don't get upset about this: even though the other editors are not students, they are helping bring the article up to Wikipedia's standards. I tried to give you all a sense of how complex these standards are in class, but now you are seeing them in action.
  • If you want to see a list of your own contributions (whether or not the text you added is still in the article) you can just go to special:contributions. Enter your username in the box and hit "search", and you'll get a list of your contributions; click the link that says "diff" to see exactly what you changed in that edit.
  • You all did a great job without a lot of time or help -- the article has really grown! You should all be proud of yourselves. I hope that it was fun and that you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia. If you have questions about editing, you can always contact me on my talk page. And...
  • thanks for editing Wikipedia :) -- phoebe / (talk to me) 18:44, 11 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Notability of Dante Benedetti

edit
 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Dante Benedetti, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Dante Benedetti seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Dante Benedetti, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
