[edit] Thanks (on Hamza Robertson)!

Hey! Many thanks for the spelling correction! Your a GOOD WIKIPEDIAN, and there isn't many of them around. EddyJawed 22:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heighth!

thanks for your spelling correction to Samuel Pepys, but I'm afraid I have reverted it. Pepys really did spell it "heighth". He had terrible spelling, but it is a quotation so needs to be verbatim from the original. Thanks Thruston 22:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Great work!

Just dropped by to say Thank You for your spelling correction work. utcursch | talk 17:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll second utcursch. You seem to be spending many hours on a largely unnoticed task. Are you doing it all manually, or is there a program you use to catch errors? -Phoenixrod 18:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to third this. I've spent forever on the 2007 in NASCAR article, and I still miss the little stuff like that. Thanks so much! DiegoTehMexican 21:13, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't have any program. Most of the time, I scan the Recent Changes for an article I might be interested in reading. Either I see an error or see something that could easily be misspelled or mistyped. A wikisearch or a Google search later and away I go! --JustAGal 16:27, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portmanteaus and others

Thanks for busting up "center field(er)" and "home plate" into two words each, but http://www.m-w.com has "groundout" as the noun (tho I'd still use "ground out" or of course "grounded out" for the verb).--BillFlis 19:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Season

Regarding your edits to the Office Gossip page. As this was a British programme the term 'series' is used not 'season', which is an American term. Can you please make you check the page before changing words like this. Thank you. --Berks105 09:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] For you

You already have one for your work on spellings, but I just have to give you another one.

		The Minor Barnstar
		For your tedious, untiring work with spellings -- Lost^(talk) 16:02, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

BTW, if you are not using WP:AWB, you should. It is great for stuff like this -- Lost^(talk) 16:05, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spell checking

If your thing is spell checking, following me around wikipedia should give you plenty of enjoyment. :) Thanks for the correction on SS MIT Victory. Nice to see someone else in its edit history, too. --J Clear 01:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed your spell fixing too. It is appreciated. ike9898 20:55, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] firefox 2

Could I interest you in using Firefox 2 for editing? The inline spell checker allows for easier spotting of typographical errors. This is not a criticism, rather support for your considerable effort. --darklilac 21:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wellington High School

I would like to create a disambig page at Wellington High School. As it stands now this points to an article about a school in New Zealand. My problem is that there is already a Wellington High School (New Zealand) page that redirects to Wellington High School. What do I do? --JustAGal 17:28, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, what other links do you want at the Wellington High School article? You can reply here. Meanwhile I will go and create the disambig page -- Lost^(talk) 17:31, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

So far I have come up with the following:

Wellington High School in New Zealand
Wellington High School in Wellington, FL
Wellington High School in Wellington, KS
Wellington High School in Wellington, OH
Wellington High School in Wellington, TX
Wellington-Napoleon High School in Wellington, MO
Wellington C. Mepham High School in Bellmore, NY

--JustAGal 17:36, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Woops I did the move meanwhile :) You can access the page by this link -- lucasbfr ^talk 17:39, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the help from both of you! I can take it from here!--JustAGal 17:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Anytime! If you need some more help you can either ask us on our talk page or put the helpme tag again :). By the way, it appears that the move button works if the target page exists but is just a redirection (and never was an article). I learn something new each day. Happy Editing! -- lucasbfr ^talk 17:57, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

That's what I couldn't get my head around! :-) --JustAGal 18:02, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My sandbox

Please stop editing the links in my sandbox. These links are there for a purpose for me and are part of something I'm working on. Your edits are not beneficial to what I am doing and I'd appreciate it if you left my sandbox alone. Thanks, Metros232 20:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] School edits

Thanks for all of your work on Shawnee High School, among the many other school edits that you have done that have overlapped with my little corner of the world in New Jersey. It's always easy to assume that a school is named uniquely, but that is so often not the case. Not only did you rename the article, but I greatly appreciate the followthrough in correcting all of the references in other article to the new name. Thanks for all your hard work; It's a pleasure to see other people who have put so much time and effort in improving Wikipedia and it's school articles. Alansohn 20:59, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Again, thanks for your work on Mount Olive High School and making all of the moves needed for the New Jersey school. Please let me know if we can work more closely together on school articles, particularly as related to New Jersey's high schools, where I have made a major dent in creating the required articles. Alansohn 18:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Riverview High School

I would like to make a school disambig page at Riverview High School. Currently, it has info about the high school in Sarasota, Florida. However, this school already has an article at Riverview High School (Sarasota, Florida). I don't want to confuse, lose or otherwise do any harm to either article. How should I proceed?--JustAGal 19:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

The Riverview High School (Sarasota, Florida) article seems to be almost exclusively about the drum corps. I'd merge the content of Riverview High School into Riverview High School (Sarasota, Florida) manually, and then change Riverview High School to a dab page, Alansohn 19:48, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. As you've now been helped, I'm removing the {{helpme}} tag. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:22, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation to new WikiProject

Sorry to disturb, but am wishing to take a moment of your time for something I hope will be of interest. I'd like to invite you to join a new WikiProject I've started, WikiProject National Register of Historic Places. Should you be so inclined, please feel free to join. And spread the word to any other interested parties. :)

I'm sending this invite b/c you've already been helping our project (without even meaning to!) by disambiguating schools on the various Registered Historic Places lists. So you might as well make it official, huh? Either way, thanks and keep up the good work. :) -Ebyabe 13:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Richland High School

Hey, I was wondering why you moved the Richland High article. It's a bad idea to have parenthenses in the name of any article unless they're needed for disambiguation, but there don't seem to be any other Richland High's. Are you about to make a disambiguation page with some names, or did I miss something? Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 22:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I am making a disambiguation page. I simply ran out of time yesterday. I should be able to get it finished today. --JustAGal 13:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks For Correcting Link

Thank you for correcting the link in my userpage. Sorry it took so long to thank you but I just noticed. VarunRajendran

[edit] School updates

In the next week or so I'll be able to step up my Wikipedia involvement a little more (after exams and such). I'd be more than willing to coordinate efforts with the school links we both have been working on it appears. If you have any sort of "to do" list you want to throw together, by all means, please do. I hope to be able to start helping after December 14th, but definitely after December 20th. Thanks, Metros232 20:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brandon High School dab page

Hi. Regarding the new Brandon High School disambiguation page you created, are you going to make some of those red links blue soon? There's generally no point in having a disambiguation page with only one blue link on it (see WP:CSD#G6). Thanks. —Wknight94 (talk) 14:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ASUE

Hello, JustAGal and thank you for your contributions on articles related to A Series of Unfortunate Events. I'd like to invite you to become a part of WikiProject A Series of Unfortunate Events, a WikiProject aiming to improve coverage of A Series of Unfortunate Events and related articles on Wikipedia.

If you would like to help out and participate, please visit the project page for more information. Thanks! <3Clamster 17:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Hi, I noticed your recent edit to Hasbrouck Heights High School and others, adding Category:High schools in New Jersey. This is not necessary, as the schools are already in Category:High schools in Bergen County, New Jersey, which is already underneath Category:High schools in New Jersey. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 04:38, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bishop Lynch High School

Hi there, I've removed the category you added to the Bishop Lynch High School article. The category Category:Private high schools in Dallas, Texas is now within Category:High schools in Texas.. which makes the article redundantly sorted if it is placed in both. I didn't realize that the Private HS category wasn't a part of the HS in Texas category.. my bad! drumguy8800 C T 20:39, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] thanks for clean-up

Thank you for cleaning up Paradigm High School. fyi, It might need major clean up soon... I really don't know when (for explanation, see the current last sentance of the article) Sir Intellegent 01:08, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WestSide

I just want to know who you are because of what you did for the Westside article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 168.11.158.74 (talk) 15:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Monarch High School (Florida) at AfD

Another editor has listed an article that you have been involved in editing, Monarch High School (Florida), at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monarch High School (Florida). Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. --Eastmain 00:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for yor help

Just wanted to say thank you for cleaning up my schools wiki. I had just finished writing it up and was wondering if it needed work. Ricky 18:11, 18 February 2007 (UTC)Kurosaki Ricky

[edit] AfD nomination of Lin-wood High School

An editor has nominated Lin-wood High School, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lin-wood High School and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.
