National Distance Learning Week
Hi, I deleted your article because Hope this helps  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  16:00, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: seeks to celebrate the tremendous growth and accomplishments... showing appreciation to those who make an indelible mark in the field and with students... In an effort to create greater awareness of distance learning and to recognize exceptional leaders and best practices in the field... &mdash; unencyclopaedic spam.
 * There are also direct links to the USDLA in the text, this is also spammy, the only url links should be in the references or external links.
 * A previous editor had questioned whether the article met the notability guidelines for organisations. It looks to me as if it might, but make sure that you back up what you say as fully as possible with independent verifiable sources.

For the first - I understand what you are saying. But, that fact is the mission statement to the holiday. I believe I linked back to both the USDLA's site and Drexel's since they are the founders. Not really sure how else to prove that, short of the legal documentation - which those types of documents are not available online. How do I make this less spammy?

For the second - Sorry about the direct links. I couldn't figure out how to source/reference! So I linked to them. I then figured out how to source, and just didn't remove the links. I can make sure to do that.

For the third - I agree. After this November, there will be a lot more media outlets I can source. Part of the reason of creating this page, was to get more promotion for it since so little is out there about it, despite hundreds of universities participating in it. I had to literally dig through filed paperwork to get the founded date correct, etc.

Lastly, do I recreate the page, or do you reinstate it? Not sure how that works. Thank you for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.118.69.146 (talk) 16:13, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
