Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Jenini requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "Click here to 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 deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

The page has been moved to your userspace at User:Lady Miyazawa/Jenini. Please note that your instructor wrote on the course page, "If you are starting a new article, write a 3–4 paragraph summary version of your article—with citations—in your Wikipedia sandbox." Only after that should your article be moved into the mainspace of Wikipedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:58, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article draft

Nice start with the sandbox article you have been working on. Please don't forget to add wikilinks to other articles, especially when you use refer to something that the average person might not be aware of and help tie articles together; for example, if you link to the Samori Ture article, people would be able to get a sense of who he was. You might also provide a link from the article about him to your article, once it's completed. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:35, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder: contextualize and expand beginning.

Great work!

Hi, I'm Eryk from the Wiki Education Foundation. I happened to notice the really great work you did on the Jenini article for Kate Grillo's course! I wondered if you'd be interested in sharing some of your experiences working on this site for our blog? We could use your real name or your Wikipedia username. We find students like to participate since it gives them a pretty positive search result related to the field they're studying in. If you have a minute, you can drop me an e-mail at eryk@wikiedu.org, mention your username and what course you were in, and answer any of the following questions, and I'd be excited to get some attention directed toward your good work.

Did you have any experience with Wikipedia before the class started? What did you think of Wikipedia before you started work on this assignment?
How did you find the process of writing a Wikipedia article, compared to if you had written a traditional paper on the topic?
Do you think you learned more about your subject as a result of writing for Wikipedia? What kind of work did you have to do, or do differently, that you may not have needed to do otherwise?
Do you think you'll come back to Wikipedia now that the course is finished?
What are your goals (career or academics wise?)

Thanks so much for your time! Eryk (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:34, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
