Speedy deletion nomination of Super Wanky Acrobatic Gypsies
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Super Wanky Acrobatic Gypsies, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Sorry, Wikipedia is not for that kind of thing
editOn the article talk page you wrote: "This is for a school project that requires us to make a fake country. Please don't remove this page as it is required that we have all information uploaded on this website and make it look professional." Sorry, but Wikipedia is not a web-host for that kind of thing, it is a serious project to build an encyclopedia. For the reasons why we can't have your article, there is a good explanation at WP:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day.
There is a site at Micronations Wikia where you might be able to put up a page about your imaginary country. I don't know much about them, but they certainly have a lot of things that would not be accepted here.
Please ask your instructor to read this, and also to look at Wikipedia:School and university projects.

- Looking at that MicroWiki page, it took me some time to see how to add anything, so in case it saves you time, the answer is: look at the top right, where it says "Contribute". Click on that, and you get a drop-down menu from which you can choose "Add a page." JohnCD (talk) 23:24, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
