Explanation of Speedy-Deletion Contestation[edit]
Please see the note starting the page, "Note: This is a non-live version for the Virginia Tech School of Visual Arts page that I hope to create". This is my first time creating a Wikipedia page. I hope to create an informative wiki on the School of Visual Arts at Virginia Tech (SOVA)to discuss the history and aspects of its programs. I have launched it on my user page so that it is not a live School of Visual Arts page, and am maintaining the page here until it meets all my and Wikipedia's standards for a proper School of Visual Arts at Virginia Tech (SOVA) page. The goal of creating this page on Wikipedia is to allow for the collaborative sharing of knowledge & building of SOVA history. Please hold on speedy-deletion, and also I would appreciate any suggestions to improve the page. Thanks!
How can I avoid speedy-deletion in formatting this article on my user page before I make it live?[edit]
{{helpme}} I need help to maintain this article on my user page (and then to eventually make it live).
- I have moved it to a 'user space draft' sub-page. It shouldn't be deleted; it's fine to work on it there.
- Your User page is User:Indisbensable. I have edited that, and added links to the draft, and to a couple of other test pages which will currently be in red, because they do not exist; you can create those if you wish. You could edit your user page and add more. You might also wish to add information about yourself there.
- Your User talk page is this one, where we're talking.
- User subpages are also known variously as Sandboxes or Draft pages - and that is where I moved the draft article, to User:Indisbensable/School of Visual Arts. You can create more, as you wish - one way is using the link WP:USERSPACEDRAFT.
- Pages can easily be moved from one place to another, so don't worry about anything.
- For more help, you can either;
- Leave a message on my own talk page;
OR - Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end;
OR - Talk to us live, with this or this.
