Hello! A little advise on how to make a good article!

edit

Hi there! I can see that you are trying to make this a good article! You may want to check out Your First Article for some pointers. A good way to start is with a good intro. Include the who or what and the when or where. Make sure you include all pertinent information. Like in your Union Academy article, is it in Macon County, Georgia or Florida or where? (I had to google it to find that it is in North Carolina) Next include a brief history. When, where, and who founded the school. Don't forget to include in-text citations. Next you may want to create an accolades section. It is better to keep this in prose format than to just have bulleted sentences. Either way, include the appropriate references. Remember, the reference should verifiable and third-party (i.e., not sourced from the subject). If you need any more help don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page located here! Cheers!--It's me...Sallicio!  19:53, 13 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Macon Early College

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Speedy deletion of Dipper well

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Dipper well, 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 blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

Proposed deletion of Progressive jazz

edit
 

The article Progressive jazz has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Vague term, at best (if not meaningless). Cites disparate cool jazz and Stan Kenton as examples.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Gyrofrog (talk) 19:59, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
