Writing Across the Curriculum
Greetings! I see you've started discussion at Talk:Writing Across the Curriculum. However, there's no indication what the subject of the article would be. Please expand; otherwise, the talk page is subject to speedy deletion. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 22:08, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi-- the introduction of this articles is up for discussion; as are likely sources/topics to cover. Obviously my bulleted list needs extension and citations. These are my summaries; should each bullet point be its own sub-heading? I'm interested to know how collaborators may want to proceed. -M--Mlf poet (talk) 23:13, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Writing Across the Curriculum
A tag has been placed on Writing Across the Curriculum, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

 * I've removed the speedy deletion tag, since the article does not appear to be trying to promote a product or service. However, the article may still be nominated for normal deletion discussion. —C.Fred (talk)

22:23, 17 January 2009 (UTC) Thanks for removing speedy deletion tag. My rough posts are just to get things started here--by no means is this article finished or up to Wiki stnadards--my hope is the Wiki community will let it evolve as others join the discussion; in short, my hope was not to complete hte artcile today, but to get somethign up that collaborators could extend and flesh out, etc. --Mlf poet (talk) 23:15, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
