[edit] Dabney Hovse edit

Mipchunk, I don't know what more you want from us.

[edit] Head-Royce School

Thank you for your work on the article "Head-Royce School". I am going to change the controversial sentence to "Until 1957, the school prohibited African American children, but has since embraced diversity as a core value", if that is fine with affected parties. Hopefully that sentence is NPOV enough. It acknowledges the racist sentiments of the past and the progress that the school has made since then. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions or objections. Cashcraft 20:39, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not vandalism

The edit Botdotcom did to your userpage is not vandalism in the slightest (besides making a mistake on one of the userboxes, which I - its operator - apologise for, the mistake has been corrected).

The edit summary referenced the German userbox solution which is indeed a valid URL. Please do read that page as it explains why I userfied userboxes.

Quite simply, this is a userbox you had on your page: Template:User 0.9 equals 1. If you click on this links, you will find messages of "This userbox has been moved..". I merely updated the links for you.

If you check your userpage, you will find that since I've corrected the edit, your userboxes look fine. In future, please check the bot's page and ask questions if you're not sure of something; don't jump the gun and assume vandalism. I'm an experienced editor with around 10,000 edits, why would I choose now of all times to vandalise?

However, if that's not it at all and you're referring to this edit, I've removed the userbox. — Nathan (talk) / 13:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CPS article

Hi there Mipchunk! I read your comment on SeanMcG's talk page. Thanks for keeping an eye on the CPS article, and for asking more direct questions. Cheers, Mrs. H 68.122.14.4 03:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey Mipchunk...Thanks for editing my entry to the CPS page. I'm obviously still a bit shaky on all the guidelines etc, and my style has never been fantastic. But my next edit will be much better, I promise! Scobiedont (talk) 18:24, 19 February 2008 (UTC)scobiedont

A tag has been placed on Academic Talent Development Program, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. EMT1871 02:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks--Cronholm144 23:47, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Cpsemblem.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Cpsemblem.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with no fair use rationale uploaded after May 4, 2006 which has been tagged as not having a rationale for more than 7 days.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] CPS emblem

Thanks for the heads-up. I tinkered with the notice a bit and removed the speedy deletion tag; we'll see if that does the trick. Happy turkey day(s)! Her Pegship (tis herself) 20:54, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Bentley High School

Bentley High School, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bentley High School and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Bentley High School during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Rtphokie (talk) 15:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hrslogo.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hrslogo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Zedla (talk) 06:53, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
