Attention students: Before you submit your article, please ensure that it does not duplicate content already on Wikipedia. Articles must be neutral, verifiable, and free of original research or synthesis. For help getting started, please see these helpful tips. Articles that don't meet these guidelines will likely be DELETED. Consider starting a draft in your userspace by going to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Mypage/DraftTitle.
– Thank you,
the Wikipedia community
P.S. For what constitutes a good example, look for the YesY. These articles have been kept, and not deleted, redirected to pre-existing content, or marked as needing major improvement.
P.P.S. Before uploading images, read this discussion and the guidelines on Copyrights and Contents/Images and media.
P.P.P.S. For tips on what to do if your article gets deleted, redirected, or radically changed; how to back up your article; and how to stay in touch with what's going on both here and with your article, see WikiProject Global Economics/Tips.

Article topic suggestions (these are less likely to be deleted):

Common Errors:

  • Make sure you aren't duplicating content. Really. (Break out google and search for 'Your topic' +Wikipedia. Look for synonyms and make sure there's not a lot of overlap). If there's a better article on the topic already, your content will probably be wiped and replaced with a link to the existing article.
  • Recognize that a good essay is probably a bad article. Essays require putting together various sources to arrive at a novel and original position. This is called synthesis and isn't permitted in encyclopedia articles. (Wikipedia is a Tertiary source, which means that it only assembles information from secondary sources, and doesn't try to advocate or create an original viewpoint).
  • Citations help show which facts come from which sources. To get help automatically generating inline citations, go to Special:Preferences, find the Gadgets tab, and enable refTool. This will create another button on the editing toolbar that'll help you generate citations.
  • Make sure you have picked an appropriate name for your article. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions for guidance.
  • Don't copy material from other web sites, books or articles into your article, even if you plan to re-write it in your own words later. It's a copyright violation which will result in your article being speedily deleted. Rewrite the material before putting it in the article. A few short quotes are OK, but must be clearly marked as such and referenced.

Note to my students: Please link your articles below. I highly recommend that you put a note at the top stating something to the effect of {Under construction} to avoid deletion and heavy editing by someone else.

Note: Please do not tag articles with {{Underconstruction}} unless you are genuinely still working on them. Please do not add the tag simply to try to avoid the article being nominated for deletion. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Comment - there is a relevant discussion on the user talk page here. JohnCD (talk) 16:52, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

(Best to use the in use template, {{inuse}}, if you are involved in editing an article and don't want it edited significantly by others in the mean time. Keep in mind that on Wikipedia, traditionally all content is freely editable by others. Additionally, content must adhere to our content policies - if it does not, it may be removed or whole articles may be deleted. Avruch T 21:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC))

(Further comments - it looks like the first article about censorship will be deleted. If you have your students register an account, as you did, they can work on articles in their own userspace (basically .../username/articleinprogress). You might also consider that some types of content don't really work as encyclopedia articles by themselves, but could be included in more general articles as a subset (or section). You might view the censorship article to see if an article about censorship of youth books could be condensed into a section of the more general article. Avruch T 21:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC))

(Your students should also consider adding this template – {{EducationalAssignment}} – to the talk pages of their articles. You'll find more information about this and some essential guidelines for using Wikpedia as part of an academic course at Wikipedia:School and university projects.) Voceditenore (talk) 06:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

practical advice about the use of tags: "inuse" only works well during active editing--during the period of an hour or do when material is being actively added, not between round of editing. If its longer than that, editors who see it will simply remove it. "Underconstruction" is principle is supposed work for somewhere between 5 & 14 days, but sometimes is removed after 1 or 2 days. At present for these articles, in practice it will also attract notice as likely to be part of the project. DGG (talk) 20:48, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
