[edit] Mighty Ducks of Anaheim page
I reverted your edits because the "Anaheim Ducks" thing has been mentioned numerous other times in the article already, and the extra mention was unnecessary. Just thought I'd explain myself. Your contributions are valued though, so don't stop now. :) Thanks. --Buchanan-Hermit 21:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Foothillsign2.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Foothillsign2.png. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] Clamper
About your changes to Clamper. If you want to start a new article about Clamper related to E Clampus Vitus, please do not replace the current content. Instead, you need to do a Move, a disamb page, and then start a new article. Your creation of Clamper (Electronics) was also incorrect. -- Gogo Dodo 04:55, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Re your message: I removed your edit on User:Light current because I thought it was a bad warning and also, if it were a good warning, warnings do not belong on User pages, but Talk pages. -- Gogo Dodo 06:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please refrain from personal attacks
Hi WalterWalrus3,
Please refrain from making personal attacks in Wikipedia, as one of your edits does. Not only is this an official policy, but it more productive to offer constructive criticism. Comment on the content, not the contributor. Thanks, GChriss <always listening><c> 18:01, 3 September 2006 (UTC)a

[edit] What the hell just happened?
I came within moments of permanently blocking you as a highly abusive vandal, so care to explain? Glen 02:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Me too; I just indefinitely blocked you. Now I changed my mind: you're unblocked, for now. Please do NOT do that again. Thanks, Antandrus (talk) 02:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
My friends were angry because that user keeps changing info on the Foothill High School page, but i reverted it. this looks highly suspicious but i swear, just look at the plethora of info ive contributed to the site. WalterWalrus3 02:28, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

- Myspace and Soundclick have thier own pages, because they are more notable. Plus, my comments are formated correctly.Danl 19:04, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, I am not going to get into a flame war over this, so I suggest you create the article again, and see if another person tags it for deletion, since an administrator and I already agree it should have been deleted. Danl 19:11, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Miss Gabe
Lois Faye "Miss Gabe" Gabriel is an African-American academic support guru from California's Bay Area, she was born in rural Texas. Her techniques in helping students succeed have astonishling success rates. For almost 35 years she has made students at Foothill High School realize their potential with ideas like 25 minuet Wednesdays (which now take place on Thursdays), green sheets, and a zero tolerance policy with computer gaming. Her goal is to help struggling kids get better grades. Gabriel struggled through adversity throughout her entire life, growing up in racist times in the southern United States and then teaching at a California high school that was almost one hundred percent white. Gabe has had many stern critics in her life, but many more students who look up to her as one of the greatest academinc support teachers ever. Faye has voiced that she plans on retiring after the 2006-2007 school year.
[edit] Techniques
Gabriel has employed many creative techniques to her practice, including green sheets, p-points, and 25 minuet Wednesdays.
Green Sheets
Gabriel started giving out green progress reports with 6 blank slots on them, one for each class of the day, during the 1993 school year. The goal of these sheets is to give students an idea of where they stand in the academic process. She adds incentive to getting them signed by alotting 25 points to a student's grade for filling them out.
P-Time
P-Time is short for "Productivity time," which is a time where students can do homework, read, or anything else school related. During this time students can achieve p-points, which are 0-5 grade points a day, 0 being an F and 5 being an A, which count for 50% of a students grade.
25 Minuet Wednesdays
25 minuet Wednesdays, which now take place on Thursdays, are an oppertunity for students to learn about test taking tips, organization, or anything else Gabriel has assigned for her students. These time periods are anywhere between 15-25 minuets, though always called 25 minuet Thursdays, give students what Gabe says is an edge to succeed.
[edit] Home Life
Ms. Gabe also activley involves herself with the church and loves all children, but has none of her own, she says this is because she loves her students too much and wouldn't want her few kids and hundreds of students to have to compete for attention.
[edit] Faye Gabriel
You removed a db tag from this article. Please note tha policy: "do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself." You may add information to the article itself or to the talk page, but you may not remove this tag. --Bookgrrl 01:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] vote change
i went back and reviewed my edit. the deletion was inadvertent. to those whose votes i deleted, i am sorry. otherwise back off.
[edit] Your warnings
No sir, I very much disagree: your warning are other people's business, to the degree that it shows your track record, and one should not have to consult the history to see it. Other editor's have the right to know that you have received warnings for vandalism in the past, as it can and should influence their opinion as to your actions and attitude in the present. If and when I feel it is necessary, I will make the edits I feel are justified, and I will not be warned off by you. ---Charles 04:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Faye Gabriel
Apology accepted. Everyone- and this absolutely includes myself- can get hot under the collar sometimes. We become better people by learning from our mistakes (and believe me, I"ve made my fair share of them). -- Kicking222`
