Speedy deletion nomination of /wiki/School-to-prison pipeline

edit

Hello, Alonsmith1

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged /wiki/School-to-prison pipeline for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Running into problems

edit

Hi @Alonsmith1. I noticed that you seem to be running into some problems drafting your contribution. I did notice that it doesn't look like you are up to date on the training modules and exercises on the Dashboard, so completing those would help you a lot.

It looks like you've already assigned yourself an article, so just go here and you should see the links in the My Articles section. If you don't see them, check the top right corner of your screen to to make sure that you are logged in to the Dashboard. This training module should help orient you.
