 * Hi Jules, I did have a quick question. An admin named "Leaderboard" has deleted a page about Margo Hendricks created by a student on the grounds that it belongs on Wikipedia. This contribution was in keeping with the format I've established for the book, and I don't want this student to be singled out. However, I can't figure out how to reinstate the page—I suspect I don't have the right privileges. Do you have any advice? We certainly welcome feedback on and help with the page, but I think unannounced deletions are a bit harsh for an undergraduate class project. I'd appreciate any help you could provide.

 * Hi, its been done. But please, if you can, ask people to create pages in the correct place. All pages should have the title format Women's Writing Before Woolf: A Social Reference/Name of author. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 08:05, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The main reason that page was deleted "unannounced" was that I had no idea that belonged to a class project, because, as Jules hinted, it was created in the wrong location. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 11:49, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! That was the explicit instruction in the assignment. I will remind them again before the next deadline, too. ErinAnnMcC (discuss • contribs) 10:59, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying. As you might imagine, it is hard to be sure everyone in the class will follow the instructions. I’m trying to keep an eye on things, but there are forty of them working at all different hours. I’ll remind them before the next deadline. ErinAnnMcC (discuss • contribs) 12:25, 7 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Cheers! I know it can be difficult for people new to Wikibooks, but if you remind them it will help. But if you do run into problems they can usually be sorted out. Best wishes -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 14:23, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
