Education articles collaboration

[edit]

Feel free to leave messages here if you'd like to collaborate on education-related articles, particularly those pertaining to Indian institutions. I'm currently working on improving:

  • University and college articles in Maharashtra
  • Standardizing infoboxes for educational institutions
  • Enhancing citation quality on academic pages
  • Expanding stub articles related to notable educational figures

For WikiProject Education matters, you can also reach me at the project talk page.

Welcome EduExplorer47!
Hello EduExplorer47. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Balsam Cottonwood, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:

  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam

  Get help at the Teahouse
or even:

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{Help me}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

Thank you for the warm welcome!

Hello @Balsam Cottonwood – I truly appreciate your thoughtful and comprehensive welcome message. The resources you've shared are incredibly helpful, and I'm grateful for the guidance as I get oriented with Wikipedia’s editing practices.

I'm particularly interested in improving articles related to educational institutions and cultural heritage sites in India, especially those in Maharashtra. With a background in education, I have access to several reliable sources that I hope can meaningfully contribute to enhancing Wikipedia’s content.

I've set up my user page and have started familiarising myself with the editing tools. The WikiGnome philosophy of making small, thoughtful improvements really resonates with me, and I plan to gradually take on broader article development as I grow more confident.

If you have any tips on engaging effectively with WikiProject Education or WikiProject India, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks once again for the kind welcome and encouragement! EduExplorer47 (talk) 08:09, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, no problem! I actually don't really know anything about WikiProject Education or WikiProject India, as I don't participate in those projects myself. However, if you would like to participate in these projects, you can, if you haven't already, just add your name to the following pages:
Once that is done, you will be a participant in both those projects, although you probably already are. 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ✝ 08:23, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I must say, you really seem to know a lot about Wikitext and formatting, for being so new. It took me a little while to even figure out about the Userboxtop and Userboxbottom templates for organizing userboxes, and you produced this on your first try. My own user page, in contrast, originally looked like this. (It looks a lot different now.) 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ✝ 08:38, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you again, @Balsam!
I’ve actually been a long-time Wikipedia reader and occasionally made unregistered edits in the past. Eventually, I realized that editing without an account came with several limitations—especially when it came to watchlisting, page creation, and building collaborative relationships. So I finally took the step to register and contribute more consistently and meaningfully.
Looking forward to learning and collaborating further! EduExplorer47 (talk) 09:44, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Khalid Al Ameri moved to draftspace

[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Khalid Al Ameri. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Chippla ✍️ - Best Regards 08:39, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have no strong opinion on whether this article should remain or be deleted. While Khalid Al Ameri frequently appears in top search results when looking for UAE influencers—indicating some level of public prominence—I leave the final decision to community consensus based on notability and sourcing guidelines. I'm not particularly invested in retaining the article. EduExplorer47 (talk) 09:05, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Innoventures Education moved to draftspace

[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Innoventures Education. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Charlie (talk) 09:06, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sharjah Education Council moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Sharjah Education Council, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Charlie (talk) 09:07, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and it consists of machine-generated text.
