[edit] Vandalism

Many thanks for reversing the content removal. The b**d!! I try to keep an eye on this page but when I don't look for a few days I come back and find all kinds of vandalism. Robotics1 21:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I got a message about vandelism and while I probably deserved it because I wrote something when I got angry what happens if the exact same person keeps adding in something that's not true? I keep changing it back to fact and then it gets changed from "Yuuki's love interest is unknown to" "Yuuki wuvs Kaname!" when that's not true as far as the story goes or how far speculation goes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.59.179.30 (talk) 21:46, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I responded to this on your talk page, which you can find here. --FlamingSilmaril Talk\Contribs 21:52, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

All right, thank you, sorry for the off comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.59.179.30 (talk) 21:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

No problem. --FlamingSilmaril Talk\Contribs 00:41, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

To everyone but flamingsilmaril: this isn't vandalism. He knows who I am :P. Hi! --Belugaperson 14:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, how's it going? --FlamingSilmaril Talk\Contribs 01:02, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Not bad, but are you really a native speaker of Spanglish? I think not. :P --Belugaperson 23:55, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
¡Sí, yo es un spiker nativo del Spanglish! ¿Por qué tú thinkas no? --FlamingSilmaril Talk\Contribs 00:44, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks For The Advice

I misunderstood the purpose of the warning levels; I thought they reflected the flagrancy of the vandalism, rather than the number of prior warnings. Thanks for setting me straight! Bws2002 (talk) 05:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Greetings! How does the day find you? I am a student of FCPS and would like to help with maintaining articles related to FCPS. Perhaps you could also assist me as I am a n00b in Wiki editing. --FTWonkerton (talk) 04:13, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, so far, a look at your contributions shows that you're doing fairly well. References are always a good thing to work on, as are typos. If you want, you can join Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools or any other WikiProject that matches your interests, but you don't have to. Another useful feature is your watchlist. I keep all the FCPS schools on my watchlist, so I can keep track of vandalism or other changes. One final thing: at least for me, someone who uses an edit summary will likely be lent a lot more credibility than someone who doesn't. Happy editing!

[edit] Hey

Hey, i'm a fellow FCPS student as well. Now, this is old, but i've sitll got a bit of a problem with this one wiki editor named "Sniperwolf" (or something around that).

From what it seems, he's a bit biased towards only deleting things from herndon high school's wiki. For example, he deleted what he called "band propoganda", from herndon's wiki. Yet south lakes has items that can also be called "band propoganda", yet they remain intact, such at this : "Advanced Ensembles regularly receive high scores of "1"s and "2"s at Festival competitions".

Now, basically im just asking if you can either call this guy out on that, or revert most future edits he were to make to Herndons wiki.

And thanks anyways if you can't do anything.


Oh, if you havent heard yet, the ice is going to refreeze and it's going to snow tonight, so maybe we'll get our FIRST SNOW DAY FINALLY. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.231.48.169 (talk) 23:21, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Looking at what Sniperwolf deleted, it did look like fairly self-promotional stuff. Though I agree that the South Lakes article isn't too great either. Picking through this stuff and sorting the useful information from the vanity can be a time-consuming process, but if you have an interest in making the FCPS articles better, nobody's stopping you from doing it yourself.
Too bad on the snow day - didn't happen. Hopefully we'll get one SOMETIME this winter. FlamingSilmaril (talk) 22:28, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Alright, thanks anyways.

And YES!! FCPS finally gave us a snow day!..well more like an ice day, but you know what i mean. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.231.48.169 (talk) 15:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I woke up and heard we had a snow day. The I looked out the window and...no snow. Oh well. FlamingSilmaril (talk) 17:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FCPS middle school redirects

Then what I will do is divide the "list of middle schools" article by FCPS-operated middle schools, private middle schools, and charter schools if that is needed. If NOT, The article will be renamed to reflect FCPS. That is because public schools that are non-notable ought to redirect to the district or to an article that reflects the district itself. I will remove any "span" K-8, K-12, etc schools from that list. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Also please check locations of schools on Yahoo Maps and similar tools - Many FCPS schools have addresses saying Alexandria, etc. which make people falsely believe that the schools are located in those cities (in fact those cities have their own school districts), so I will verify and adjust locations of schools as indicated on Wikipedia. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

This seems like a good idea. Unfortunately, I have a case of mono right now and I won't be editing as much; I'll see what I can do when I get back. I see you've done some good work already, though. FlamingSilmaril (talk) 22:06, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neil the Cellist

Hi there, I noticed you removed the "incomplete" notice on the wiki article for Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. I'd like to note that the section 'is' incomplete, and requires the attention of someone who has actually finished the game so that the article may be finished appropriately. At the moment, the section stands incompleted. Neil the Cellist (talk) 18:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I didn't remove it; I just commented it out so that editors can see it, but it doesn't get in the way for readers. If you want to get an editor who has finished the game to complete the summary, try asking on the article's talk page, or maybe a related wikiproject like Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games. To alert readers that the section isn't complete, you could use Template:Incomplete, Template:Expand, or Template:Recent video game. I see what you mean that the section isn't finished; I just tend to balk at all-caps statements in articles, because they're often used for vandalism or other unconstructive purposes. I hope this clears up my reasoning for you. FlamingSilmaril (talk) 20:27, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Understood. Thanks for clearing it up. Neil the Cellist (talk) 21:09, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
No problem. FlamingSilmaril (talk) 21:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Warning vandals

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 20:46, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes; I'm aware of this. I use the templates on a case-by-case basis. IMHO, they can be a rather impersonal and brusque way to welcome a potentially helpful contributor, so I don't use them when, for example, a well-meaning but inexperienced editor makes an edit that has blatant OR or non-neutral POV. I do use them for obvious vandalism and purposely disruptive edits. I assume you're talking about this edit, which seemed like it could go either way at the time. In hindsight, though, it might warrant a warning. If you want to warn the anon, I wouldn't mind. FlamingSilmaril (talk) 21:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
