New school pages[edit]

Hi Heathiecliff. When creating new pages about schools, please consider including the correct stub template on the main page, and our {{WikiProject Schools |class= |importance=|needs-infobox=}} banner on the article talk page - we'll be along to asses it shortly. Thanks, and happy editing! --Kudpung (talk) 11:05, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for the message. I was using the template from other school pages, but if there is something else I should use that would be better, I'll try and find it. There are quite a few holes in the listings of schools - such as Private Schools in Victoria - and a list is not much use if it's not thorough. But the pages need to exist first before the schools can be listed. Some are easier than others, because some schools don't have a lot of externally-referenced data. Hopefully, other people will come along and add more details and references.

Hi, it's me again. Sorry to be a pest but a bot has reported that the wrong infobox templates are possibly being used on school articles you have created or edited. If you have a moment, please address these issues, referring to WP:WPSCH for complete information. If you get stuck, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. --Kudpung (talk) 02:34, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I will go and have a look at the link and hopefully that will clear things up for me about templates. Ah, I understand now about the banner and will go back and add to the dozen or so I have created. Thanks. Heathiecliff (talk) 07:14, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Balcombe Grammar School[edit]

If 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.

A tag has been placed on Balcombe Grammar School, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.balcombegrammar.vic.edu.au/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
