Welcome!

Hello, Hannahbbull, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jennie Stuart Hospital

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Jennie Stuart Hospital, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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 deleted 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.

Keeping it encyclopaedic

Thank you for your edits to Wikipedia. I understand from your talk page that you are editing here is part of a University course assignment. That is fine, contributions from new users are always most welcome and can often suggest new avenues of thinking and reporting.

What is important however is to stick to the Wikipedia rules and guidelines, especially concerning personal opinions and separating them from facts supported by references. I have amended your edit to History of organic farming to remove opinion (POV) and try and make the text better aligned with the source. There is a convention here not to say "According to Prof John Doe the sun goes round the moon" but rather to say " Some academics remain of the opinion that the sun goes round the moon " and then add the reference which will confirm the text in the edit and provide a link to the relevant paper. It is also worth bearing in mind that there are more people reading this who live outside the US than inside it so there is a need to ensure that text supported references that relate exclusively to the US, such as the EPA, are clearly marked as "...in the US...". I for example am a UK citizen writing this from New Zealand (courtesy of Covid-19) but in both locales the English Wikipedia is the one that we turn to for as our information source. Apologies for the long screed and hope that it helps. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   01:18, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
