Before your students create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not. Unencyclopedic articles are subject to deletion.

hi

Just to say "hi" and that I'm watching the outcome of your project with interest. I ran a similar project a year or so ago. Feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 07:14, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Actually, you are my inspiration! I was amazed with your project. I showed my students some examples like the Vargas Llosa´s wonderful article. My project is a one month assignment. Hopefully next semester, I can work more time in something similar. Thank you for writing! --Aestrella (talk) 01:20, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grand, I'll be looking in and will try to offer any help or suggestions. I see you've already had some problems with starting the article on Delirium, not least because other editors have tried to delete it. Don't let that get you down! These things happen here. --08:54, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Delirium (novel)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Okay, thank you!

Apology

Dear Aestrella, I would like to formally apologize for the misunderstanding over the article Delirium (novel). I did not recognize User: Stroppolo's edits as a test, nor did I see the Criteria for Speedy Deletion tag. Very sorry. I also striked out the warning template on your talk page.

Okay, no problem!--Aestrella (talk) 13:57, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Project Question

On the top of the article about Horacio Quiroga it requests that it be enhanced with information translated from the spanish article. Can I translate this article and use most of that information? That article is much more in-depth. Obviously it doesn't translate perfectly so I would have to edit it, but it has a lot more information than I was able to find in English websites, which are mostly all a reprint of an article from litweb.com.

Yes, I think you can do that. If you have problems with the translation, just let me know. --Aestrella (talk) 22:57, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
