Your college assignment
Hi. I notice that you wrote in your edit summary "PLEASE DO NOT DELETE! I am not finished I am working on this topic for a college assignment." What has actually happened is a different problem with using Wikipedia for a student assignment, and one which you probably did not anticipate - other editors have chipped in and helped to develop the article. That's the way Wikipedia works - it is a strong principle that nobody owns any article - see WP:OWN.

There is good advice on this kind of thing at:
 * WP:School and university projects
 * User:Jbmurray/Advice

If you were asked by an instructor to use Wikipedia, please get him to look at those articles, and also at:
 * School and university projects/Instructions for teachers and lecturers

One way to protect an article from deletion for a short time is to put (two curly brackets each side) at the top; but that won't stop others editing it. A better way is to start your article in a user sub-page - see WP:USERSUBPAGE for how to make one - and only move it into "article space" when it is ready.

One important policy to understand, because it is one of the ways in which the requirements for an encyclopedia article differ from those for a typical student essay, is WP:No Original Research. Links from the Welcome paragraph above will give you more advice about contributing.
