Your contributed article, Class8rainforest


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Class8rainforest. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Rainforest. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Rainforest – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:30, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

School projects
Hi! Based on your user page, you appear to be a group of students working on a school project. I think it's awesome that you guys want to help build the encyclopedia here, but you need to go about it the right way. If this is a project that your teacher has assigned you, the first thing you should do is point your teacher to School and university projects. This is a page specifically written for teachers to help them understand how best to use Wikipedia writing projects as part of their curriculum. The next thing you should do is each register for your own accounts. As noted above, each Wikipedia account is supposed to represent one person only, not a group. You can identify yourseves as part of the group by noting it on your new user pages, but you each need your own account.

Good luck with your studies! WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:59, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
