Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (September 10)
 Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1&preload=Template:Afc_decline/HD_preload&preloadparams%5B%5D=User:Webdesignclass/sandbox Articles for creation help desk] or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Robert McClenon was: This topic is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: No. This is not what you are supposed to be doing. You have probably misunderstood the assignment. Ask the instructor for details. See also Wikipedia is not a web hosting service.

The purpose of this procedure, called Articles for Creation, is to write draft articles to be included as articles in Wikipedia and have them reviewed. If this is what your instructor wants, you and they need to work out a topic that is appropriate for Wikipedia but is not already covered. (That isn't easy, since we have 5.6 million articles. Also, the rules for references in articles are difficult.  So this is probably not what your instructor assigned.)  Ask your instructor to explain.

Your Sandbox
It appears that you are starting a class (since this is September and classes often begin in September) on web design. You entered a statement in your sandbox, and then Submitted it. You were right in not being sure whether that was what you are supposed to be doing. Please ask your instructor. I don't know whether your instructor is telling you to use Wikipedia, or whether you just chose to use Wikipedia. If you are just using Wikipedia, please remember that Wikipedia is not a web service or a public utility but an encyclopedia, and any editing should be in support of improving the encyclopedia. If your instructor asked you to develop an article for Wikipedia, that may be a valid assignment, but only if everything has been worked out carefully in advance. There are several ways that you might have misunderstood what you were told, or that your instructor may have misunderstood what Wikipedia is and is not for. In any case, please talk to your instructor. If you want general help with Wikipedia, you may ask at the Teahouse or the Help Desk, but first please check whether maybe you should be using some other web site, such as your university's web site.
