[edit] Davidson High School (Saskatchewan)

I noticed you created Davidson High School (Saskatchewan), which is good, but could you add a link to the school's web site (and/or other links related to the school). When I do a Google I only find the web sites of other school(s) with an identical name, but a different location. --Rob 19:16, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Craik Sustainable Living Project

Hey, as Nandesuka appears to be busy, I've taken a look at that article. Was the original taken from another website? I just need to know so that I know whether to delete the original as a copyvio and move the temp page in, or merge the histories. Please respond on my talk page. Thanks!

Thanks for stepping in, Hermione -- I've been absolutely swamped. Delzen, I apologize for my unseemly delay, and I hope you'll forgive me. The stuff on the temp page looks good to me. The stuff on the main page was a copyvio from a web site (where should be in the copyvio notice). I'd suggest deleting the existing main page, and then re-creating the article with the text from the temp page. Nandesuka 02:43, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Will do. ::phew:: At least I know how to delete and move. I'm not so sure about merging histories... Hermione1980 02:47, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
I want to thank you for being so patient and understanding about this article! If there's anything else you need help with, just let me know. Hermione1980 01:29, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] buying beers and whatnot

Hi - Re your question about thanking folks, please see Wikipedia:Kindness Campaign. There are a variety of barnstars people use, as well as the less obtrusive Image:WikiThanks.png (to see in context click on any of the user pages that refer to the image). -- Rick Block (talk) 17:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I see you've created a user page for yourself - you're on your way to becoming a true Wikipedia:Wikipediholic. -- Rick Block (talk) 05:32, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the beer! I'm actually more of a Guinness man, but as long as it's not Bud Lite I'll drink it. -- Rick Block (talk) 00:48, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting articles

A good place to start is Wikipedia:Deletion policy. The short form is that there are a set of criteria for "Speedy deletion" that any admin can use to delete an article quickly (see WP:CSD), and then there is a more involved process called "articles for deletion" (WP:AFD) where people spend a few days trying to reach a consensus as to whether to keep or delete an article. My honest advice is that you stay as far away from all the deletion stuff as possible, because it will only depress you.

I deleted the article you mentioned, though, as it was clear nonsense. Want to write a useful stub in its place? :-) Nandesuka 04:10, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] You're welcome!

You're welcome, and thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 15:36, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there! -- user:zanimum

[edit] IP 207.195.79.254 Blocked - reply

You can view the contribution history of that ip address at Special:Contributions/207.195.79.254. Tom Harrison Talk 21:41, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

If you look in "my preferneces," I think you can set your local time. Alternatively, some people choose to display and work in UTC, since editors work from many different time zones. Tom Harrison Talk 22:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
