Orphaned non-free media (File:Coexist- peace and unity, 2010.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:Coexist- peace and unity, 2010.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:30, 4 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Feedback on your work

Good development of original stub content.

Please consider making the following changes:

  • Fix formatting: "Contents [hide]"
  • Image does not seem to have uploaded properly. Consider deleting / replacing
  • Rephrase as a complete sentence "A national student campaign for interfaith action."
  • Rephrase as a complete sentence "Coexist - working together with no conflict"
  • This does not need to be a separate section: "Multi-faith Spaces: Symptoms & Agents of Religious and Social Change"
  • Hyperlink to the relevant Wikipedia pages: President Obama, President’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge, Interfaith Youth Cooperation, Rig Veda
  • Change to "across the world are joining this movement in an effort to"
  • Change to "Another reason why universities and schools are preferred models"
  • Change to "Regardless of race, sex or religion we all have a common ground."

Great additions to content since the last assessment! Here are some suggestions that you may want to consider:

  • Maybe add some member college names: "Campuses across the world are joining this movement in effort to create diverse interfaith cooperation"
  • Mention the source of this quote in-text as well (otherwise it may seem a little abrupt): "Student leaders are the foundation to leading the next chapter in the inspiring story of interfaith."
  • Consider changing to: " leadership rooted in a person’s beliefs"
  • Please explain / specify how exactly the Rig Veda quote is related to Multifaith Spaces - is it part of the official definition? Why has this particular quote been selected?
  • Consider changing to: "Agnus Scott College is located in Decatur, Georgia"
  • This statement is not part of the Ting-Toomey quotation. Please fix: "When designing a multifaith space we have to keep in mind the different cultural meanings because the design and objects put into this space could be seen in a disrespectful manner or offend someone in a very sensitive way"
  • Consider dividing the culture Iceberg Metaphor into sub-headings (popular, deep, etc.)
