Welcome
Hello, Mswalkersocialmedia, and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are a course instructor leading a class project.


 * New to Wikipedia or want to learn about best practices for Wikipedia assignments?

The training includes instructions for setting up a structured course page, with tools for tracking student work and encouraging peer review. Please also see this helpful advice for instructors.

If you run into problems or want some feedback on your Wikipedia assignment plans, try posting to the education noticeboard.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay after your assignment is finished!  Acroterion   (talk)   13:19, 21 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I have deleted your userpage, since it appears to be a coordination page for class assignments, which is not the purpose of a userpage. Please see WP:ASSIGN for discussion of how educators can use Wikipedia for classroom work. However, Wikipedia is not a free webhost for class work outside the framework of the encyclopedia.

 * Again, Wikipedia is not social media, and is not a webhost for class assignments.  Acroterion   (talk)   13:26, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Please respond to my concerns
Your continued attempts to re-create your userpage as a webhost are problematic. Please respond here first so we can understand your goals and purpose for your class, and y=to help you work appropriately. What you appear to want to do is nmot an appropriate use of Wikipedia or of a userpage. Again, Wikipedia is not social media, it is first and foremost an encyclopedia, that uses a crowdsourcing model. That does not permit you to use it as a class webhost to teach about crowdsourcing, without regard to Wikipedia's primary function as an encyclopedia.

 * Communication between editors is required on Wikipedia. Please respond here so we can assist you in structuring an assignment that helps the encyclopedia and your students.  Acroterion   (talk)   13:48, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I was trying to create a page my students could edit. I didn't have time to go through training before the class. The class is over now so it's not an issue. 24.101.236.77 (talk) 14:42, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I teach marketing through social media and the lesson was on crowd sourcing. 24.101.236.77 (talk) 14:43, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
