Your addition was deleted

[edit]

Hi Shelly. I see that your addition to a talk page was deleted. I'm not sure exactly why, but it might be because of copyrighted content. I think the subject may well be worth inclusion, but you'll need to develop it and discuss it on the article's discussion ("talk") page first before adding it. I suggest you use a sandbox in your own userspace where you can develop your content. Here's a place to work: User:Shelly099/Diploma mill. Just start editing there and the link will turn blue. When you think it's about ready, IOW in a much shorter format, possibly only a few sentences, you can copy it to the talk page and discuss adding it. Other editor's may well tweak it, and when a consensus version is ready it can be added to the article in question. You already have plenty of sources, so use them.

There is another possibility. If this is a large enough subject to merit its own article, even a stub, then you could try that. You can get an idea of what's acceptable format and content by looking at some of the other diploma mill school articles. One I'm familiar with has its own article, Clayton College of Natural Health, so maybe this music school could also have one.

Whatever you do, don't get into an edit war with other editors. Be collaborative and discuss things. Read the policies and guidelines listed above and you'll be much better prepared to be a constructive editor here. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need help. I hope this advice helps. Good luck! -- Brangifer (talk) 15:32, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use talk pages such as Talk:Accreditation mill for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you. I reverted your edit to the talk page for the accreditation mill article. Your post there was not related to the article topic, much less to discussing the editing of that article. Orlady (talk) 18:51, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
