Vikidia:Deletion[edit | edit source]
Hello,
Based on a draft that I prepared one year ago while working on the set of templates used in the deletion process, I expanded that page quite a lot in 3 directions:
- Around the deletion process: think about reverting vandalism, welcoming new users...
- More details on the process and mentioning templates such as {{warn delete}}, {{warn speedy}}, {{Obsolete category}}...
- Criteria for speedy deletion.
Regarding the 3rd point, i.e. the criteria for speedy deletion, I think that we should start listing them while the community is still small (with reasonably few conflicts). I inserted my proposal directly in the page, but of course it is so far only a proposal. Please review it, propose changes to the wording, adding a criteria or removing one that you'd consider controversial.
Any other feedback or improvement is welcome as well, of course.

I am a teacher starting a unit on writing wiki articles (informational writing) with my students[edit | edit source]
I'm a teacher at a small private school in Nusajaya, Malaysia. I would like to have my students contribute to Vikipedia, as part of our unit on informational writing. I would really like to find an experienced Vikimedian to collaborate with. I'd appreciate any help you can give, but here are some of my ideas:
- Give me some feedback on the article I contributed, blue whale, which is going to be the model for my students' projects
- Answer some questions from my students about writing for Vikidia, by Email
- Write a letter to the students about your experience on Vikidia, to help them understand how it works and how they can become better contributors
- Help answer my questions about contributing and using Vikidia, so I can improve my lessons
Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
