Wikipedia is not your ISP
editPlease stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as you did at Theology of evangelism, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. We are not here to serve as your internet service provider. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:21, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello Jjaekley and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are a course instructor leading a class project. We encourage you to read our instructions for teachers and lecturers. It is strongly recommended that you add your class to our list of school and university projects. For more help about educational projects using Wikipedia, see our classroom coordination project which was created for the very purpose of assisting course instructors who use Wikipedia for their courses.
Here are some other pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}}
before the question.
Before your students create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not. Unencyclopedic articles are subject to deletion.
It is highly recommend that you place {{EducationalAssignment}}
on the discussion page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished!
Speedy deletion nomination of Theology of evangelism
editIf 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.
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. E. Fokker (talk) 21:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

- To use wikipedia in the way you require implies following the principles and procedures outlined in Wikipedia:Educational assignments. You do not appear to have done this to date. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 17:59, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps I should clarify further. Your students are, I assume, not familiar with wikipedia editing usage and practice. Given that any text added here is subject to immediate revision, amendment or possibly deletion, if they just go ahead and write then the inevitable interactions with the community at large will render assessment of their efforts by yourself impossible. Or at any rate meaningless. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:16, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
