September 2020

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Impact of COVID-19 in Hammanskraal, from its old location at User:ADQ BAB TUT2020/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 18:25, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Impact of COVID-19 in Hammanskraal (September 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by AngusWOOF was:

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This looks like someone's original research report on their regions. I'm concerned it is heavily copied from a more general research website.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Impact of COVID-19 in Hammanskraal and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Impact of COVID-19 in Hammanskraal, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your educational project

If you are the tutor please read Wikipedia:Education program

If you are not the tutor please ask the tutor to read it. Fiddle Faddle 07:36, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see you are the tutor: "The impact of Covid19 Pandemic in South African Provinces - A Tshwane University of Technology (South Africa) Project:" was in an edit summary. It is very important that you work with the education program. Fiddle Faddle 07:51, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I echo what User:Timtrent is saying. The draft has some material that could find its way into a Wikipedia article, but right now it's just a collection of unencyclopedic writing. I am also saddened that you seem to not pay attention to it, or to the comments here--I am wondering, in fact, whether you are actually wanting to have your students contribute to the project, or whether you simply assigned this thinking that Wikipedia would provide free webhosting space. That is not the case. Please respond here and try to have your students write material that meets our guidelines. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 21:42, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Timtrent, after going through the draft I am convinced that the assignment was to a. write up what COVID is, b. describe the positive and negative effects on the particular community, and c. illustrate that with examples (from original research--I'm sure the students were sent out to do interviews) and photographs. All of that is very good as a class assignment, but it is of course a blatant violation of WP:NOTWEBHOST. I really see no good reason to keep this, and yet I am hesitant to make the students pay the price for a teacher's abuse of our platform. Also pinging AngusWOOF, Nathan2055. I can do with y'all's advice. Drmies (talk) 21:49, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Drmies, I am saddened that I agree with you. I see an alleged tutor who will not engage with either the draft or with Wikipedia. Almost all of the images uploaded to Commons had major permission/copyright/framing issues and most have been deleted.

What I think is that Wikipedia has been used as a web host, that the students have printed the material off, and have been marked on it. The draft, and allied drafts by the students may all go, speedy deleted per your reasoning. Fiddle Faddle 06:09, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
