Your contributed article, The Definitions of Educational Technology


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, The Definitions of Educational Technology. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Educational Technology. 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 Educational Technology - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. 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. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 12:03, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

suggestion
I do not want to discourage you, but to urge you to  help us by improving our coverage on  topics in your area. I think you would do much better to expand the existing Educational technology page, or to write on a specialized topic in that area--either improve an article we have, or write one of something notable we do not have for which there are good sources. When you  write these articles, I have  two key points of advice:

1/ do not copy from a web site; rewrite the information from scratch

2/ put in a reference to a published source at the very first edit. This is particularly important for articles about living people, which will be deleted if there are no references.

If I can help you further, let me know on my user talk page.  DGG ( talk ) 18:30, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
