[edit] Keswick Christian School response

The advertising tag has been removed. There is a style for Wikipedia articles that we should all follow. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style. For example, the first sentence of an article should be something like "Keswick Christian School is a school located in ...." There is also a specific style for articles about schools. See, for example, McQuaid Jesuit High School which generally follows that style. Feel free to borrow the "Infobox_University" from that article to put in your article, modifying as needed, of course. Make sure you copy everything between the open and close double braces. The Infobox is easier to use than the complex table you created, and it provides some standardization among articles, which makes it easier for everyone to read and understand. Hint: Use the "Show preview" button to check out your changes and then "Save page" only when you're satisfied everything is okay; that uses less space on the Wikipedia servers and produces a shorter history record. Good luck with your articles. Truthanado 01:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

See my response to your question on my "talk" page Truthanado 01:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations. Keswick Christian School is turning into a very nice, well-written article. A couple of suggestions, if I may, based primarily on the Wikipedia:Manual of Style:

• By convention, section headings only capitalize the first word, except for proper names. You might want to change that in your article. Example: "Name change and growth". I know it's not intuitively obvious to do it that way, and many publications do it differently, but that is the Wikipedia standard.
• The Notables section is typically called "Notable alumni" or "Noted alumni" in similar articles, and the list of alumni that follows is typically in alphabetical order as a bulleted list. It's easier and more consistent to start each item in the list with an asterisk "*" than to have to remember to put the HTML carriage-return-line-feed "<br>" at the end of each line.
• Please remember to spell check your edits. I'm a good speller, but a horrible typist, and I often make mistakes that I have to find before saving my edits. In Firefox browser (which I use), every mis-spelled or unrecognized word has a a red line under it. Sure, many of the words are proper names, but it's a good way to locate typing and spelling errors. Example: Headquatered. Truthanado 03:41, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Halo (Christian rock band)

Hi there, thanks for your message to me. I'm actually a Stephen, not a Ryan; you're not the first person to make that mistake, I think my talk page needs reorganizing!

I just glanced at the Halo article; good work on the references.

Happy Wiki-ing,

[edit] Non-standard discography infoboxes

Regarding Rick Cua, I'm thoroughly baffled why it remains in that category.--Fuhghettaboutit 16:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I figured it out by reading more carefully. The template notes: "if you do not fill the Type field with one of the predefined keywords (or if you make a typo), the article will be automatically added to Category:Non-standard discography infoboxes so as to be able to track and fix errors." In the type fields you had listed "Studio". The quotation marks and uppercase esses were the culprit.--Fuhghettaboutit 17:59, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of category from your userpage

Hi. In enacting consensus from User categories for discussion, I have removed the category Category:Wikipedians interested in books from your userpage. It was determined in that deletion debate that this category should be depopulated of individuals, but kept as a parent category. If you wish to display a category reflecting your interest in books, please consider one of the specific sub-categories under its umbrella. Thanks, and please excuse the necessary editing of your user page! ----Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Lexrex beattheheat.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lexrex beattheheat.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:27, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
