Schools Wikipedia

edit

Okay, I have to ask - what exactly is "Schools Wikipedia", and why are you committing temporary vandalism on some articles to remove "explicit content"? Elizium23 (talk) 17:17, 28 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, Elizium23. I work for an international children's charity called SOS Children (you can visit our site at http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk, and we are currently in the throes of preparing a new, fourth edition of a project called Wikipedia for Schools (or Schools Wikipedia). Schools Wikipedia is a selection of articles from Wikipedia organised around the UK national curriculum and including other articles which may be of use or interest to children. It can be browsed online at http://schools-wikipedia.org (this currently takes you to the 2008/9 selection) and is also available offline and distributed to schools in developing countries where internet access is limited. Previous version have been released offline on CD and DVD, although the new version will be released onto USB stick. All content is manually checked for suitability for children schoolchildren aged 11-15, and because of the range of countries where it is used, we have to be fairly conservative when editing the text. Generally, unsuitable content can be removed without requiring interference with the original Wikipedia site via our editing software, but occasionally (and this is where you come in!), the easiest thing to do is to edit the live Wikipedia page and then self-revert immediately and then upload the clean variant. Sorry if this is a somewhat rambling answer to your question, but I hope it explains why I've been removing and then immediately re-adding supposedly "explicit content" from the site, although I think (hope!) "vandalism" is a rather extreme interpretation! Wikipedia for Schools is supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, after all! You can read more at http://www.sos-schools.org/wikipedia-for-schools, and visit the test site of the new edition at http://schools-wikipedia-test.soschildren.org/.

I think you need to stop vandalizing wikipedia right now!
In those wikis you link, I don't see any attribution to the authors. Where is it?
Aisteco (talk) 00:50, 29 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

I haven't "linked any wikis". All I have done is remove content and then replace it immediately. This results in effetively no change to Wikipedia. Unless I have inadvertently made a mistake in one of my edits (e.g. neglected to self-revert - in which case, please let me know the specific details), I think you may be confusing me with another user. To repeat, Wikipedia for Schools is a charity project endorsed by WMF, and I have made exactly no intentional working change to Wikipedia.

Orphaned non-free image File:Wikipedia for Schools 2013 logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Wikipedia for Schools 2013 logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:21, 1 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Success at School moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Success at School, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Proposed deletion of Success at School

edit
 

The article Success at School has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not established

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:05, 19 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:33, 20 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Success at School

edit
 

Hello, JamieG01. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Success at School".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 16:02, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

November 2021

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions are appreciated, but, in this edit to Changing Faces (charity), you removed Articles for deletion notices from articles or removed other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. This makes it difficult to establish consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you.
