Your contributed article, Groupageonejacobriis


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Groupageonejacobriis. 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 – Jacob Riis. 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 Jacob Riis – 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 "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. -- Non-Dropframe   talk   13:37, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

What is Grouppagetwothebend?
Hi Kayjay428. You created the article Grouppagetwothebend which seems to be about an interesting historical subject, but the title that you chose for the article doesn't seem to make sense. It seems to be a concatenation of "Group page two the bend", which also doesn't make sense. Would you please explain what your intentions were? Thank you. - MrX 14:22, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi. I've moved it to User:Kayjay428/Grouppagetwothebend in your user space. I've also deleted Page One as we already have an article on the subject. If this is part of an educational project at a college or university, please let us know and we can put you in touch with our people who deal with these things. We don't have pages in article space that are test pages or project work. Peridon (talk) 14:53, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

School project
Hello! Forgive me, I am very new to using Wikipedia. Yes, this is for a school project-my professor had us make actual wikipedia articles for the class. I realize it's a little unorthodox, and I'd be happy to remove these pages after the project is finished in order to maintain authenticity on this site. I just need them for a couple of days-that's why I entitled it "groupproject" in hopes that people would understand that it was for a class. My apologies once more, if you know of a more productive way to do this, I'd be happy to oblige.


 * Hi Kayjay. You should tell your professor to take a look at Student assignments for some guidance on how to successfully ruun a class project involving Wikipedia. Telling students to wade in and make "actual Wikipedia articles" in the main article space can backfire, as they have to be treated just like any other Wikipedia article. (In your case, you created some articles about subjects which Wikipedia already has articles about - we'd much rather you helped us out on those existing articles, and it's not helpful for us if your professor's instruction directly contradicts that.) --McGeddon (talk) 16:11, 28 October 2015 (UTC)


 * (I've gone ahead and moved your two other articles to User:Kayjay428/Grouppagethreethetrench and User:Kayjay428/Groupprojectoneintro, so that the work you've put in isn't lost. This takes them out of the main collection of Wikipedia articles and lets you work on them as drafts, or copy bits into other articles.) --McGeddon (talk) 16:13, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, McG. To Kayjay - your stuff should be safe enough in user space for now. There will be no danger so long as you avoid copying text from outside Wikipedia, creating hoaxes, attacking someone, or advertising or promotion. To get your articles looking correct (in WP terms), you should read WP:GNG about general notability, and WP:BIO about bios, and also WP:RS about the reliable independent sources that are needed to prove the notability. If your prof hasn't told you about this, tell them. And if anyone else in the class has had stuff deleted, show this to them too. Wikipedia isn't easy at first, and expecting a full-blown article the first time is not really reasonable. Good people to ask for help are McGeddon or, or the admins Anna Frodesiak or MelanieN (PG and AF work often in educational things). Peridon (talk) 17:10, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * @Pgallert - please see also User:Hist102. Peridon (talk) 18:56, 28 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your help and understanding-this whole thing was a tad overwhelming to figure out. I was actually going to delete the original pages to give them proper names in the articles. Do you think you could tell me how to transfer over those links so it doesn't get deleted prior to the presentation? I'm sorry to create more trouble.
 * Just in case you stick around after this is all over, please sign talk page posts with ~ which may look silly but puts your sig and the time stamp on. You can't delete pages. Only admins can do that. You can request deletion - see WP:CSD (it would be G7 unless anyone else had been adding to it). You probably can't do what McG and I have been doing - 'moving' pages either. Not yet, anyway. Just looked - no, it's too soon. But there would be a problem about moving into article space - they'd be up for deletion again. We - any of us that have a certain right called 'auto-confirmed' or 'confirmed' - can do it for you (basically it means about four days here and 10 edits or something like that). The User:Kayjay428 bit would still be there, but after the / would be a more realistic title. I'm off to bed soon - early out in the morning. To contact any of the names I've mentioned, type with (obviously?) the person's user name in where I've just put name, and make sure you use wiggly brackets. MelanieN is usually around - I don't think she sleeps... If you know who Hist102 is, he/she seems to be on the same project. And having the same problems... Peridon (talk) 21:08, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I've just brought User:Kayjay428/Group 2 Introduction back into your fold. Keep to user space while you're 'duplicating' an existing topic. With a topic not already in, like Ernie Featherstonehaugh, you could get away with article space easier. Peridon (talk) 21:14, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

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.

Kayjay428, please don't create any more articles until you understand the basics that have been explained above. Also, please don't add notes to article titles (like "Group 2").
 * Slow down, please

I rescued The Trench in Potter's Field from being speedily deleted, but now it needs to be edited with references and written in clear, encyclopedic style. Please take the time to bring this article up to standards. You can learn more at WP:YFA. - MrX 22:00, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
