Message from your Online Ambassador
editHey. I saw that your class is starting to add edited articles to Education Program:Northeastern University/Media and Democracy (2013 Q1). Instead of adding the full URL, only add the title of the page and the section name, the hashtag (#) denotes a section of an article, if you are using one. For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Hudson#Activism would become Jackie Hudson#Activism or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_McKenna would become Margaret McKenna. If you do this, the links should work. If you have any questions feel free to email me or ask on my talk page. Best of luck on your projects. --Guerillero | My Talk 06:36, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Racial Bias/Hurrican Katrina article
editHello Jenks27 - thank you for your message on my talk page. The article you created was deleted under the guidelines of speedy deletion, based on being an unencyclopedic essay of your own creation with minimal sourcing. In addtion, it is a topic that is largely covered in the Criticism of government response to Hurricane Katrina article, which you are more than welcome to edit and improve instead of continuing to duplicate it as a new article. Let me know if you have any questions. Keeper | 76 21:46, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
