From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] March 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Colonial Theatre, Idaho Falls, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Wikipedia is not for school assignments, it has been created in a number of locations already this evening. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 02:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

  • I do not understand the second half of your sentence: "it has been created..." What has been created? What locations? And as for saying that Wikipedia is not for school assignments, I find that somewhat absurd, since this is an encyclopedia. People all over the world use it for school assignments constantly. I've never found any page that says that Wikipedia is not for school assignments. Actually, page after page invites anyone to try their hand at submitting, encouraging them to learn how to do this and to work on and edit other people's submissions. Sounds like school to me.
    • Response I meant the re-creation of an existing article. The article already existed on Wikipedia, there is no need to re-create an existing article for the sake of a school project. Choose a topic that hasn't already been covered on Wikipedia. All articles need to pass core WP policies and guidelines: verifiability, notability, are two examples.

I've searched and searched and can't find another article in Wikipedia on this particular theatre. I agree the student has some issues with citation and voice which she will need to fix, ASAP. Can you provide the link to the other articles? Part of the assignment was to choose something not already covered by Wikipedia--so I agree there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.174.30.170 (talk) 20:58, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
