[edit] UC STANDARDS

WHAT UC SCHOOLS ACCEPT SCIENCE 1 FROM 8th GRADE.

Berkeley and San Diego, however they do not 'accept' science from the 8th grade but they acknowledge the fact that you have completed a two year course by the completion of science 2. Twigs 04:06, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In-N-Out Burger

You should avoid wording such as "it is commonly known..." This could be considered original research and should have some citation for the information or it should be deleted. BlankVerse 07:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Among the various Wikipedia Policies and guidelines are Verifiability and No original research. What you've described in your email may be unique to your local In-N-Out Burger, or it could be something common to most In-N-Out's, fitting under their "golden rules": Rule #1 - The customer is always right. Unless you can provide some documentation so that others can verify what you added to the article, that information will have to be removed. BlankVerse 09:52, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

Thanks for contributing those nice photos of Torrance High School. They improve the article. Cheers, -Will Beback 01:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Torrance High School

If that section does closely match the text on the school's website, then it is a copyright violation and will need to be deleted and then rewritten. As a Torrance High student, you are best situated for getting the information needed to rewrite the section. Would you help do that? BlankVerse 10:51, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Torrance High School Photos

Scott do you think it would be possible for you to get pictures of other buildings at THS such as the Auditorium inside and out,Junior Quad, Senior pond, including the pond, library inside and out, little theater inside, and the murals inside the various buildings such as the auditorium lobby and annex cafeteria. Would also be possible for you to get past pictures of the school, there some in old yearbooks in the library, and hanging on the wall.Also ask the librarian and other staff for a better history.

I'll work on it when I can, hopefully I will have more time after college applications.Twigs 06:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help THS Earn Money

Scott I don't know if your aware that there is a new searh engine www.goodsearch.com powered by yahoo. This new search engine donates a penny for every search made to the charity of your choice. Please specify torrance high as the charity. If we can just get 1000 people to make one search a day we earn the school $10.00 everyday with no cost to us. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.80.77.216 (talk • contribs)

[edit] GET MORE PHOTOS

YOU SHOULD GET MORE PICTURES OF THE BUILDINGS AND THE SCHOOL, INSTEAD OF PEOPLE, BECAUSE PEOPLE CHANGE BUT BUILDINGS DON'T. I DON'T WHO PUT THE PHOTOS OF THE RALLY AND THE GAME ON THE PAGE, BUT THEY ARE REALLY BAD. PLEASE HELP. P.S. I DON'T THINK IS RIGHT TO PUT PICTURES OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITHOUT THERE PERMISSION, SUCH AS THE PICTURE OF THE RALLY ON THE THS PAGE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.80.77.216 (talk) 21:51, January 20, 2007 (UTC)

You have already notified me about my "really bad" pictures, so do not attack other people. Wikipedia Policy does not state you cannot have people. I have deleted them now, but you are able to delete them yourself, you know.    ✗  Zen. ➚ 07:02, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

{{helpme}}

Hello, you used the {{helpme}} tag. How may I help you? When you've asked your question, please put the tag back so we know to check back. Alternatively, you can join the Wikipedia Bootcamp IRC channel to get real-time help. (Use the web-based client to get instant access.)— Deon555talkdesksign here! 04:23, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

My question is a user reworded what I said on a talk page without removing my signature making it look as if I plagiarized. Is there any sort of repercussion? Should I just delete it or what? Sorry I'm still new to this and rather annoyed. It is a revision to the Torrance High School talk page on 24 October 2006.

I've removed the tag for a sec while I take a look. Just wait there :) — Deon555talkdesksign here! 04:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I've been through the history, and can't say anyone changing any of your comments. Can you point out which comment was changed by someone else? Usually yes, you just revert it, then point out that you did not make that prev comment, someone else did using your sig. — Deon555talkdesksign here! 04:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
I believe the the appropriate thing would be to change it back. You may want to make a note of the diff page in the edit summary. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Torrance_High_School&diff=next&oldid=83130824
As to whether there should be repercussions, yes, there should be. Changing the comments of others is a violation of one of the official policies. However, since the user who changed the comment is an IP user, a warning at this point would not be very useful, since IP addresses change on a regular basis.
Just as a side note, always remember to always sign your posts on talk pages.
If you have any more questions, let me know. —W. Flake (talk) 04:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
