Speedy deletion nomination of Parkview Library


A tag has been placed on Parkview Library requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Ways to improve Parkview Library
Hello, Derek J Moore,

Thank you for creating Parkview Library.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

"There don't seem to be many references indepednent of the library that lend notability to this locally important topic. Most of the reference related to the context of reading in South Africa more broadly, which could be helpfully added elsewhere. I also wonder about the relevance of national literacy rates in Parkview, which seems to a be relatively affluent part of Johannesburg. Are there figures on local literacy being problematic?"

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with. Remember to sign your reply with. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

 * Thanks for the helpful feedback and additional guidance. They are much appreciated. Parkview is a highly affluent area. Wealth and literacy should not, however, be conflated. The library also serves several high-functioning state schools, with children drawn in from various socio-economc groups. Derek J Moore (talk) 12:31, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Council on Higher Education moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Council on Higher Education. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it does not appear to be finished. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. —asparagusus  (interaction)  sprouts!  20:37, 1 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much for the feedback. You are absolutely right. I had hoped to work on in quickly, but ran out of time Derek J Moore (talk) 05:23, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * That's completely fine! I just wanted to make sure you hadn't put it in mainspace by accident. Happy editing! —asparagusus   (interaction)  sprouts!  21:02, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited SADiLaR, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page OER. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 17:54, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Reusable assignment moved to draftspace
Hi, I've moved this article to draftspace because I believe it is a better candidate for the WP:AFC process given that two of the citations in question appear to be to yourself. This is not automatically against Wikipedia policy, but I would recommend reading WP:SELFPUB and WP:SELFCITE to understand Wikipedia guidance on doing this safely.

Ahead of the AfC review, I would also recommend trying to find more sources that use the WP:COMMONNAME for the phenomenon that you're describing, along with more sources that involve editorial review - blogs and student newspapers don't really contribute much towards WP:NOTABILITY. BrigadierG (talk) 21:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi BrigadierG. Okay. I’ll check the citations. Thanks for the advice. I recently have been granted access to the Wikipedia Library. I’m not sure if that is at your reccomendation. But I hope to up my citation quality now. Thanks Derek J Moore (talk) 04:26, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Good luck! I certainly like the premise of the article, and as a college dropout who has been disillusioned with the process, I do wish educators would set more of these kinds of assignments. BrigadierG (talk) 10:34, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Higher Education is a mess at the moment. Moving on was probably a good idea. https://www.hepi.ac.uk/2024/05/11/weekend-reading-dismantling-the-marketisation-of-higher-education/ PS I like the slap with a trout button. I have put that on my page Derek J Moore (talk) 11:23, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Gee, I'm a bit slow. Been jumping straight from my sandbox onto Wikipedia. Instead of going through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation.

Thank you for creating Johannesburg Emergency Water Supply.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

"The article reads like a news release, is focussed simply on current (and current for how long?) events, and should give a fuller picture including background on the water supply, the issues and difficulties, and why it is a notable subject."

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with. Remember to sign your reply with. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.
