Your contributed article, Online Money Transfer System


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Online Money Transfer System. 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 – Electronic funds transfer. 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 Electronic funds transfer – 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 "Click here to 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, 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. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:02, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Creating a wiki page for a class project
You mentioned on Talk:Online Money Transfer System that you are trying to create an article for a class project. Be that as it may, the page must still conform to Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Creating a new page about a topic that already exists is pointless. Better to simply edit the existing article.

If your class assignment is simply to learn to use the Wikipedia interface, I suggest working in your own sandbox or user space. Every account comes with a user sandbox: yours is located at User:Raerai/sandbox. You may also simply create any subpage of your own user page (say, for example, User:Raerai/Online Money Transfer System). Once you have edited that page, you can show it to your teacher to verify that you have learned the editing system to whatever degree your teacher requires. In your user page, the page does not have to meet the same stringent requirements as published articles. However, it still must conform to certain guidelines: no copyright violations, no blatant promotion, and no attack pages. But other than that, you should be able to create your page without much attention from the rest of the community, unless you ask for it.

If your class project is to create a new article about this specific topic, please ask your professor to reconsider the assignment, and to consult the school and university projects page for guidance.

Good luck with your class. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:51, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Articles
Have a look at WP:PRIMER which is a guide for beginners. Questions can be asked at the Teahouse WP:TEAHOUSE. While we do try to be helpful to people doing school/college projects, all articles should be up to our standards and follow our rules. Good luck - Wikipedia is free to edit, but no-one says it's easy... Peridon (talk) 21:13, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
