[edit] Welcome novice

Hello Raker! It's good to have you on the team. If you need any help, just drop a message on my talk page. As I am sure you are aware, there are many rules in place that keep Wikipedia resourceful, useable and reliable. Familiarise yourself with The five pillars of Wikipedia!

As a final word of wisdom for you, always remember, “in literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language: the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.” --TheEditor20 13:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] University-preparatory?

Hi Raker, could you explain what is meant by Category:University-preparatory schools in South Africa? Does it imply private, and if so, are former Model C schools included or excluded? It's not a term that I've heard before. I see the category was first created by a Canadian. I'm worried that it's an international term that isn't used in South Africa, or is only subjective in South Africa, unless there is a defined group of schools which are not able to prepare pupils for university.

[edit] Re: Bishops Student/ Teacher ratio

Hi

I understand your concern. The {{fact}} tag simply shows that we need a source. 1:15 looks like a thumbsuck without proof. Anyway, that calculation needs to take two things into account:

  • Number of teachers - i.e. does that include prep and what about non-academic staff?
  • Number of students - this may matter in case of prep

Therefore, the value you gave is not wrong - it probably included non-academic staff. It should suffice. Look at Hotchkiss School, which has a ration of 1:5.

Anyway, that list may prove a valid source. Simply use the <ref> ... </ref> format to reference it properly.

Cheers

[edit] Just a note

I note many of your very valuable contributions to Wikipedia. However, please consider the following:

  • Please do not remove warnings from your talk page or replace them with offensive content. Removing or maliciously altering warnings from your talk page will not remove them from the page history. If you continue to remove or vandalize warnings from your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks. - rather type under the message something like: "sorted ~~~~" or "erronously marked by bot" , etc.
  • When uploading images which are school logos, use {{PreK12-logo}} instead. I have tried to correct most; remember that if someone comes accross an incorrectly used GFDL license, the image will be nominated for a speedy delete.
  • Thanks for all your valued contributions. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Education_in_South_Africa as well.

[edit] Thomas More College

Hi Raker,

Woolleyback is an account of a group of past pupils from Thomas More College. When saw that there was hardly anything on our school on wikipedia, we decided that we would make thomas more college one of our priorities.....

We want to continuously add information to this site untill it becomes as big as some of the other sites on private schools such as Kearsney, Kloof High, and many others....

We are glad that we are not the only ones making contributions to the thomas more college site as we dont want to seem selfish towards this site since you created it and WE REALLY WANT input from others!!!!!!!!

We have noticed that you seem very involved in the sites of many schools in KZN... and we admire that you are contributing to so many sites.... so we are really happy to see you working on this site. But we were confused to why the site was reverted back, and we lost a lot of work and research on academics....

We arent a bunch of bullies looking for trouble.... we are patriotic Thomas More ex-pupils who want the world to see thomas more as we see it as we do....

We would like to ask, just a reason why the page was reverted back... and secondly, maybe some advice on how to improve the thomas more site...

Many thanx.... The WoolleyBack Group

Thanks for uploading Image:Pietermaritzburgarms.jpg. However, the copyright tag you've used is deprecated or obsolete, and should not be used. This could be because the tag is inaccurate or misleading, or because it does not adequately specify the copyright status of the image.

[edit] St John's College

Hi Raker,

What is the reason for reverting my change to the St John's page? Thanks

Coldcam

[edit] Merge at Diocesan College

I think it may be a good idea. The problem that one will need to overcome is that of proportionality - i.e. the culture section is rather big, whereas academics, etc. is signfiicantly smaller. If we want to merge it back in, we may want to take another look at cutting culture, etc. down and improving the rest of the article. -- Chris Lester talk 07:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Pure Oxygen is not all that happy with the removal of the table. See here: Talk:Diocesan College. You may want to monitor this page for further feedback and to see if someone puts it back. Maybe one should hang on a bit with regards to doing the full merge - just in case something pops up. I am happy to support you in whatever you do. -- Chris Lester talk 23:49, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Sure - that's fine. Let's get rid of the category (Diocesan College). -- Chris Lester talk 22:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:WCSchools

I thought I'd just leave a note about a change I made - I changed "Public schools" to "State schools" to avoid confusion, given the alternative meanings of the term in different parts of the world. I hope this is fine. -- Chris Lester talk 13:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bishops redirect

Nope -- no discussion re the issue. [2] is about how far it goes. Someone did take it upon himself/herself to change it. Logically one would think that Bishops is unique to the school and that no person would search an encyclopedia by using the plural of a word (that's why we'll find children under the entry for child in most cases). On that basis we would revert his change; though, it may be worth a discussion to prevent this coming up again.-- Chris Lester talk 13:12, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bethany School, Goudhurst

Excuse me Raker, but what makes you think that you have the rule over what is said on this page? I know a lot about that school and the information I have put would be confirmed to be true by the majority of pupils and parents of pupils at Bethany School. This is free speech, and I am sure you are aware that you are a minority in deciding that my information is incorrect. If you want an edit war then I will comply, but if your not as arrogant as you are ignorant then perhaps we can discuss it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.177.166.118 (talk) 11:22, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Elite Seven

Hi Raker. I'm curious as to which source you used when creating the Elite Seven article, as I am unable to find any online links that reference the term except for Wikipedia and its mirrors. Naturally, this is making it somewhat difficult to prevent those adding or removing schools from the list, since there is no authoritative source to reference it against. Do you perhaps have a link to one that does? Thanks, — Impi 13:54, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fram crest.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Fram crest.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Fram crest.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Fram crest.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] SD request for Hillcrest Christian Academy

A tag has been placed on Hillcrest Christian Academy, 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) 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 the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. Groupthink 13:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:Kearsney college infobox

A tag has been placed on Template:Kearsney college infobox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{tranclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ieb logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ieb logo.jpg. 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. Project FMF (talk) 00:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
