As a style note
In the introduction, you don't need to outline what you're going to say later on in the article. (In fact, you shouldn't). In case you're interested, our Manual of Style is here. (Be warned, it's on the a-bit-huge and tedious-to-read side). It might be worth giving it a skim, but if not, someone will probably come along and fix things sooner or later.

Success of Foreign Motocross Stars in America
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Success of Foreign Motocross Stars in America, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? jbmurray (talk • contribs) 08:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Asking a favor
Many of us are concerned that a lot of the students on the GlobalEcon project seem not to be checking the Project's page, their own articles, or their talk pages to read the advice that has been given there. There is now a large banner with advice at User:Globalecon/Global Economics. There are tips on what to do if their article gets deleted, redirected, or radically changed; how to back up their article; and how to stay in touch with what's going on with their article and their project (and why they should) at User:Globalecon/Tips. If you're in touch with other students in your class (and your professor), could you please pass this information and the links on to them. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 09:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
