Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Politics of Virtual Realities, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place "{{helpme}}" on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.

Hey, can you tell me what is going on with this page? There is a lot of work being done to it in a very short amount of time, of which some appears to be vandalism. Are you a professor using Wikipedia in your classroom? Ryan Vesey Review me! 18:28, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ryan, We are a class of students studying technology and politics. We feel our class is at the forefront of discussing technology, political science, and law and its implications for society. I'm hoping that by making a wikipedia page, we might inspire other colleges and professors to discuss these issues. There may be another page being created as well, although we assume only one will meet quality standards. The vandalism must have been a brief joke.

Hey, I'm sorry to tell you that I see almost no chance of the page being considered notable. There aren't any notability criteria for classes in a university and frankly under Wikipedia notability policies I couldn't see it happening. Unless there was something truly special about the class so that it was covered widely by the media, it couldn't be published as an article. Perhaps you could check out the Wikipedia Campus Ambassador program. Ryan Vesey Review me! 18:42, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for responding Ryan. Totally understood re: notability.

Two further points.

If it is your own class you are writing about, you have a conflict of interest. A Wikipedia article is supposed to be written from a neutral, independent point of view, and you are likely to find it difficult to edit neutrally on a subject in which you have such a close involvement. It is better for you to edit on a subject where you don't have such a direct involvement.
If you are writing the page because "We feel our class is at the forefront of discussing technology, political science, and law and its implications for society. I'm hoping that by making a wikipedia page, we might inspire other colleges and professors to discuss these issues" then you are writing it to promote your class, and to promote discussion of the issues. Wikipedia policy is that editing to promote anything is not permitted, and any page created for that purpose may be speedily deleted. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:10, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proper Welcome

I thought I should give you a proper welcome. The automated template I sent you right above this should have some useful links that you and your friends can read when you get a chance. It will certainly increase your knowledge and ability to edit constructively. I like what you were trying to do and it would be great for you to use the knowledge you gained in the class to add to current articles on Wikipedia. You can always leave a message at my talk page if you have any questions or need help on anything. Ryan Vesey Review me! 18:57, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ryan Vesey/New editors

I have created this page for the editors from PSCI 307. I believe it would be easier to discuss the article for the class and future Wikipedia editing with the entire group rather than trying to discuss it individually with each editor. If there are more editors working with you, and I haven't left this message on their page, please inform them of the discussion. Ryan Vesey Review me! 19:52, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
