Hello, I'm GiantSnowman. An edit that you recently made to Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! GiantSnowman 17:31, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Course material
Hi Adamgovand: I see you originally posted that course report as an article; it was moved to your user page, User:Adamgovand, and then blanked. Let me explain a little. This is an encyclopedia project. For something to have an article, we require it to be notable, which we define in terms of other reliable sources, such as books, newspapers, TV news, or other encyclopedias having covered it extensively - there are exceptions for obvious things, such as geographic features and populated places, and special criteria for various classes of topic that serve as alternatives, but basically the requirement is as summarized here. While we would welcome your contributions to the encyclopedia, Wikipedia is not a webhost for materials you simply want to work on with others or have viewable by others. Please find somewhere else to put your course material; there may be a university wiki you can use, and I wonder whether that is what you thought you were posting to?
