Class project
Hi there,

I'm Ryan with the Wiki Education Foundation. We're the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia-based assignments at colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. I'd like to reach out to your instructor to tell him/her about the resources and tools available to make teaching with Wikipedia easier. Are you in the class taught by Professor McCurdy, Orosz, or Conway? You can learn more about our organization as well as the various resources available at teach.wikiedu.org.

One more thing: shared accounts actually aren't permitted on Wikipedia and will typically result in the account being blocked. If you'd like to retain the username, you could just have one of you create a separate account and change your user page to reflect that. (Someone else noticed the shared account issue and brought it to the education noticeboard, a page to discuss class projects that may need help).

Thanks. --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:56, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Swimming Canada


A tag has been placed on Swimming Canada, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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, then please contact the. Gbawden (talk) 14:42, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
