Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

Hello! GraceAndFavor, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! Liz Read! Talk! 03:59, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Liz,

I hope you are good and well. Thank you for the invitation, will do. However, RE: The Educational Basketball Article I was contributing to please see a copy of my email sent to Wikipedia Team below.

Dear Wikipedia Team,

A couple of weeks ago, as I was about to contribute to a Wikipedia Article called EDUCATIONAL BASKETBALL I noted somebody wanted the page deleted - there was 1 delete and 1 weak keep. I participated in the discussion and requested that the article be kept. I went made a little contribution and thereafter noted that the Educational Basketball Article would be re-listed.

I attempted to resume work on the Wikipedia Educational Basketball Article this evening only to discover that it was deleted today. Educational Basketball is a highly recommended sports program with good and well written journalistic pieces readily located and sourced on the internet. I am still in the process of further continuous contribution.  

I am formally requesting that somebody please kindly un-delete and restore the Wikipedia Educational Basketball Article STAT so that I (and others) can continue with contributions.

Thank you.

God Bless You. GraceAndFavor (talk) 23:45, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

I think the best place to ask this would be at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. jlwoodwa (talk) 00:38, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Dear jlwoodwa, yes, thank you very much for the suggestion. Please know I have in fact made the Request For Undeletion however I deemed this matter important enough to bring to Liz's attention because of the specific Invitation to The Tea House for discussions pertaining to questions, support, editing, etc on Wikipedia. Again, thank you very much for your kind assistance in this matter. Here's wishing you a great weekend. God Bless You :) GraceAndFavor (talk) 01:03, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
