It is strongly recommended that you add your class to our list of school and university projects. For more help about educational projects using Wikipedia, see our classroom coordination project which was created for the very purpose of assisting course instructors who use Wikipedia for their courses.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question.

Before your students create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not. Unencyclopedic articles are subject to deletion.

It is highly recommend that you place {{EducationalAssignment}} on the discussion page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished!

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is School project. Thank you. Deor (talk) 01:42, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your school project

Please note that Wikipedia welcomes school projects to improve the articles it offers (as indicated in the welcome message above), but the creation of new articles on topics for which articles already exist, as your students have done at John Scottus Eriugena and Philosopher William de Conches, is not acceptable. If your students can contribute reliably sourced information to existing articles in the encyclopedia, their efforts will certainly be welcome; but Wikipedia is not a venue for your students to post classwork that does not contribute to the encylopedic effort. Please give your students guidance in the proper method of contributing to Wikipedia, or no doubt all their contributions will be wiped out and your project will fail in its purpose. (If, on the other hand, your purpose is simply to use Wikipedia as a venue for student-supplied material unrelated to its encyclopedic mission, I recommend that you read WP:NOTWEBHOST.)
