Welcome!
Hello, GmustudentSu18, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:GmustudentSu18/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

 * Your first article
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Biographies of living persons
 * How to write a great article
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial

Sorry. We were required to make a "wiki" for a college course without any further specification, and the course "wiki" tool doesn't work. I saw a lot of others were doing this and figured it must be the understood thing to do. I see some of the other pages have been deleted but not all.
 * I think your instructor needs a clearer understanding of Wikipedia. (please see related messages.) That was clearly an essay intended for a class, and in no way did it look like an encyclopedia article. If you could direct me to pages like this that weren't tagged for deletion, I would appreciate it.Dlohcierekim (talk) 09:02, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
