[edit] School songs
Take a look at WP:LYRICS, my opinion on Alma Mater's/school songs are that they are generally copyrighted material. While it would be appropriate to quote a minimal amount of lyrics as fair-use in an encyclopedic context (ie related use in certain school traditions, etc), publishing the whole set of lyrics on wikipedia with no context or critical comment is potentially problematic. Take a look at WP:COPYRIGHT & WP:NOR. You may want to get other opinions at the Village Pump (policy). Zedla (talk) 23:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

- Yeah I agree too, because recently I thought it was ok to put Minnesota Rouser until this edit here, so that should state that North Garland's fight song is copyrighted, but I am still checking if the alma mater for both NG and SG is public domain because of this edit.--Antonio Lopez (talk)00:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
There's a discussion about this that has been going on at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Fight songs – Zedla (talk) 09:03, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Parsons Prekindergarten School
Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Parsons Prekindergarten School, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Re: Talk page warnings
You can go to this page, which has a full list of the talk page warnings as well as guidelines of how to use them. If the vandal has been warned four times, report them here. If you want, you can use an automatic tool Twinkle to fight vandalism. Hope that helps. If you have any other question, feel free to ask. Cheers! J.delanoygabsadds 01:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding your question
Sorry about stealing your thunder on that warning. I'm using Twinkle, so it gives me kind of an unfair speed advantage. Anyway! To get someone blocked if they're being a punk, just go to wp:aiv and put a report there in the user-reported section. When you edit the section, there'll be some instructions on how to format your report. There's a standardized way to do it (which it shows you), but in short, you just provide their IP or name and a quick summary of what they've done. The most common last straw for getting blocked is vandalizing or other tomfoolery after they've been given their final warning. Unless it's REALLY bad, most admins want them to have gotten 2-3 warnings, with one of them clearly indicated as their last chance. I hope that helps! Poke me again if you have other questions. - Vianello (talk) 07:24, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
