[edit] Userboxes?

Don't apologize for asking me a question -- always glad to help. The little bars? I think you might mean the userboxes along the right side of my page... If you type in WP:UBX [no spaces] in the search box, then scroll down, you'll find a huge categorized list. --Brian1979 00:11, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to see if I can do it for you... --Brian1979 17:50, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
OK, that didn't work. Go to my page and scroll down to my Wikicontacts and find GodofWar. Ask him and he will point you in the right direction. --Brian1979 17:56, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red Scare

what became of your proposal to split this article into two? I certainly think it should be done, but do not know who needs to agree, what are the procedures, what would be the names, etc. Thanks Hmains 02:28, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

sorry; I later noticed it was already split. The 'First Red Scare' article already exists. Thanks Hmains 02:29, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hchs page

About the Holy Cross High School (Delran) page you've been fixing: we should keep the bit about the embezzlement off of it; I know people keep adding it, but it's vandalism (I didn't know if you knew it was vandalism or if you thought it was something worth putting on the page, but some students keep doing it). I just figured I'd let you know, since you've made edits to it recently. Thanks--BigShock 00:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

That the principal has been suspended is fully supported. I've removed embezzlement claims previously. Any new claims would require a very reliable source or will be removed. Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Alansohn 00:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Aren't we supposed to keep current events off of the pages (except for sports teams and things like that)? Besides, it's all vandalism, so you shouldn't pick and choose what parts of it to keep, right? As of right now I've removed everything about it, but if you feel too strongly about it, put it back. Myself and another are watching the page so that we can remove vandalism as a result of all this, but if you put it back in I won't stop you.--BigShock 00:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
It's a newsworthy event about the school. I'd suggest keeping it in and editing it to fit the facts provided in the article. Excluding it will almost certainly create more problems than keeping in a paragraph that's properly worded. Make sure that no claims above and beyond what can be supported are included.

[edit] Diocesan Infobox

To the WikiProject Catholicism members

I have proposed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism an infobox for Catholic Dioceses. I have not gotten any feedback on this proposal, so I’m culling feedback, advice, corrections, etc. for this. If you have the time, would you check out User:SkierRMH/Diocese_Infobox and give me some feedback! Thanks much!!

[edit] help?

Someone keeps vandalising Holy Cross High School (Delran) under the name Skizzorhands. How would one get them blocked? (That's the only thing the username's been used for is vandalism, multiple times)

I have warned the user. The next time they vandalize that page, please report it at WP:AIAV. Thanks! ZsinjTalk 02:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
