[edit] Oregon Educational Accountability and Standards System

I made a few organizing edits in Oregon Educational Accountability and Standards System to follow the Wikipedia Manual of Style. I noticed the first three paragraphs were duplicated and removed them. —EncMstr (talk) 01:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oregon Educational Accountability and Standards System

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Oregon Educational Accountability and Standards System, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Katr67 (talk) 01:17, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About COI

Hi, are you D. T. Conley? Please note that though the above article appears to be well-researched, Wikipedia is not here to provide a space for you to publish your personal opinions. You can read more about this at What Wikipedia is Not. We also have some Conflict of Interest guidelines that would be helpful for you to read. We always welcome new input to articles about education in Oregon, but please remember that everything needs to be cited using multiple, third-party reliable sources. If you have questions about the proposed deletion of the article you started, please bring them up on the article's talk page where other editors can be involved. Thanks!

Well you are certainly a highly published author! I would image my earlier statement about "appears to be well researched" would seem amusing to you. But I've seen lots of non-professors publish similar articles on Wikipedia. Nonetheless, though this guideline doesn't have the level of a Wikpedia policy, Wikipedia:Expert editors can give you some tips about how to contribute to the encyclopedia and avoid some common pitfalls. Thanks again! Katr67 (talk) 01:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
